Hi Guys,
Any ideas for a 'container' or a fish for the fishing float coil???
My PVC coil is just under 7" in diameter and I am trying to come up
with an idea for a fish. Unfortunately, the biggest PVC drain pipe
at my local Home Depot is only 6". I was thinking of a small plastic
pail but don't really care for that idea.
Also, is it necessary to have both sensors in the water?? I was
thinking it should be possible to keep one sensor on the boat to
cancel the 'magnetic noise' since it is fairly uniform. It will make
fish construction easier and, if I understand this thing right, the
further apart we can get the sensors, the more sensitive the
instrument will be. The only problem I could forsee is the proximity
of the sensor to the boats engine causing a large offset in that
sensor. I dont know if the sensors are linear but if they are, when
the fish is deployed the microcontroller could easily 'null' the
difference and everything should be fine. Any ideas???

A piece of this fishing float submerged in high octane, unleaded
gasoline was reduced to MUSH in less than 30 days. I also have
piece of this float in several other fluids and NO damage is
easily visible after thirty days. I had ASSUMED that this float
was made of polyethylene but I do NOT know. If anybody is
knowlegeable about plastics - let me know and give me your address
and I will send you a piece of the float.
