Objectives/Goals

The goal of my project was to find out what gauge wire will have the least amount of power dropped at any length wire. This goal was important to me because it will really help out on the ROV team i am on.

Methods/Materials

My method was: measure the wires, cut the wire at the right lengths, make the light fixture, connect every thing together and get all my data. The materials i used were: a screw driver, a wire cutter, a tape measure, volt/amp meter, 200 ft. of 14 gauge wire, 200 ft. of 18 gauge wire, 200 ft. of 20 gauge wire, 200 ft. of 22 gauge wire, a 12 volt ROV battery, 60 watt light bulb, a light socket and a wood board.

Results

My results showed that the thicker the wire the less power is dropped. 3rd party contributor
