How It Works The Vortex Generator’s patented design generates a low pressure zone which creates 22+ kgf (48+ lbf) of attraction force. The Vortex Generator has 25 mm (1 in) of clearance allowing the system to work on rough surfaces with debris and marine growth while still maintaining a solid attachment, providing an inherently stable video and sonar imagery. Once attached, the operator can release the controls with the LBV or vLBV firmly in position and not worry about fighting currents or having to keep constant control of the system, which remains strongly attached even without operator input....
