    Genesis 3.1 Early Impressions

    Yep, under the circular sealed cap next to the battery connector. .

    Genesis 3.1 Early Impressions

    New to the Genesis 3.0, you'll notice a flashing LED in the window on the rear of the handle, that gives a visual indicator of battery charge. The flashes are relevant when the motor in not running (resting voltage), as the motor causes the battery voltage to decrease (sag) when running...

    Divers Propulsion Vehicles on Liveaboards

    I take a Genesis on all trips, including liveabords. If I'm solo, I'll cruise around on the outskirts of the group for a dive or two until the DM is comfortable I'll be fine on my own and then disappear and just make sure I'm at the exit point at the appointed time every time. If you have...

    Question Fathom Dive Systems has their own version of a Genesis Warp Core?

    No piece of technical equipment is completely immune to "user inattention" (...I'm being nice) and having the equipment "professionally serviced" is no guarantee either. The only time's I've had regulator problems is either brand new out of the box or after having them "professionally serviced,"...

    Genesis Magnetization

    "Console" is an ambiguous term. What is your "console" and what else is on it? If you have a computer or something else that requires a battery, the cell is likely the next major contributor. How much deflection is occurring?

    Genesis Magnetization

    It is most likely the clock spring in your retractor that has become magnetized. If you removed the prop (say when rinsing) and held it next to the retractor, that could magnetize it. But when installed, the magnetic coupling's magnetic fields are closed loops and don't extend beyond the...

    Subgravity vs. Genesis dpv?

    Check out Home | Kuleana Coral Reefs They have a few Genesis DPVs and could be a useful resource for other info as well. .

    Question Understanding battery pack math

    Don't try out-thinking the battery, especially with limited understanding. 1. Charge it FULLY before diving, you never know what you might need. (Do you only fill your breathing gas to 80% if you don't plan on using it all?) 2. If it is much below 62V at the end of diving AND you are not...

    Question Understanding battery pack math

    Here's an actual discharge curve at continuous full power. That's how we test every DPV before shipping. 4V of sag from full charge, low power reduction kicks in at the voltage knee, voltage recovers 1.5V after power reduction, then recovers 2V more when shut off. Discharge is fairly linear...

    Question Understanding battery pack math

    The Warp Core BMS has Battery Capacity and Cycle Capacity parameter values. 26000mah/24000mah for the 1700Wh pack and 13000/12000 for the 850Wh pack. The % remaining is based on the Cycle Capacity value, not full battery value and are ESTIMATES, since there is no way to factor capacity loss of...

    DPV rigging

    The tow cord is just one small part of a mechanical force vector system, that includes your hand, arm, back, fins, boltsnap and DPV. Where the tow cord attaches to the DPV is also relevant. Most are attached near the plane of thrust and symmetrical across the axis of thrust. Mounting the tow...

    Genesis duct foam

    The nozzles are structural urethane foam, there is no epoxy or fiberglass. Early nozzles were not painted, but they would lighten in color with age and UV exposure. They have been painted since around 2016. They can be refinished with normal primer and paint. If you want to get fancy...

    Oh crap! I screwed up. Thank you Logic/Genesis DPV and Jon Nellis

    We ship via UPS and FedEX worldwide (mostly). EU has high VAT and excise duties on imports, so we also get customers that fly to the US for a dive holiday and return with a Genesis in their personal baggage. They are easy to fly with. Cheers, Jon

    Genesis 3.1 DPV

    De rien cosmosaure. We've had numerous European dealers contact us, but the shipping and import duties over there seem to always dissuade them, so no. Most Genesis owners in the EU come over here on vacation and fly back with it in their luggage, since they are so easy to fly with. .

    Genesis 3.1 DPV

    At normal speed, they are both pretty quiet, as they are only using around 160W, but at full power, the 3.1 is significantly quieter due to the new motor controller using sinusoidal switching, instead of the previous trapezoidal switching. Additionally, the switching frequency of the new...

    Toroidal propellers

    There are propellers for speed and propellers for thrust. Toroidal props, like most open boat props. are made for speed. Ducted props are used for higher thrust at lower speeds, with the efficiency difference based on how well and for what speed the duct and prop are designed. As speed...

    New Genesis 2.0

    Any assembly that goes in the water can leak, which is why we have a test port. Vacuum tests are mostly useless, since they may (or may not) tell you there's a leak, but not where it is, so you can fix it. If you suspect you have a leak, 3-5 psi of air pressure in the DPV submerged in water...

    New Genesis DPV Ship Date?

    We will start shipping next week! I can't tell from you screen name if you ordered direct or through a dealer, but the weight of that light big of a light and whatever is needed to mount it are likely going to exceed the amount of buoyancy available at the nose of the 3.2. We could build it...

    New Genesis DPV Ship Date?

    We just received the new motors and the new motor controllers are due in a couple weeks. We need to do some testing and firmware tweaking before shipping, but I estimate that we'll start shipping the new 3.1 and 3.2 in August. We have a long list of folks that have been waiting since last...
