Yeah, that's what they call it, a PIG. So it's pushed along by the liquid in the line. Solves the "how does it propel itself, fuel, controls issue" thing. Makes sense.
How does it collect data? I assume that it is looking for flaws that could become leaks with potential serious problems, but what's the mechanism?
If it finds a potential problem, and one found one in a low spot in the line on the next property over from me, how does it record the location?
