The author presents a fully autonomous drone system capable of recharging near powerlines, enabling extended operational endurance through continuous flight cycles.
תקציר
The content discusses a novel strategy for drone recharging during missions to overcome battery limitations. It introduces a gripping mechanism and magnetic control circuit for holding force and energy harvesting. The system demonstrated multiple hours of uninterrupted operations near powerlines.
סטטיסטיקה
The system weighs 4.3 kg including the battery.
Charging power depends on the power line current level, reaching up to 181 W at 1000 A.
The drone can stay airborne for 7.5 minutes with a 6S 7000 mAh battery.
During testing, the battery was discharged/charged by approximately 20% each cycle.
The longest test lasted over two hours with five inspection/charging cycles.
