It s awesome assuming your motives are.
Diy solar powered drone.
This one is intended to operate as a drone.
I hacked my old cheerson cs 10 quadc.
Solar powered r c drone.
It seems that other people have achieved at least long not perpetual flight times by using this model of recharging batteries with solar during the day.
The culmination of years of work here is a first peak at my solar powered airship design.
It s a brilliant idea.
The solar powered drone will be used for surveillance and to provide communications in remote areas much like facebook s aquila drone project.
The purpose of doing it is to enable the aircraft to stay in the air for months or years at a time providing services such as communications and remote sensing said prismatic managing director.
I also wish to eventua.
Gathering tools and materials here i am going to give you links to each part and component used in this project.
The aircraft can potentially be used as a flying solar panel to provide emergency solar power to disaster areas as well as for photography small package delivery surveillance and.
Without a battery you could fly a drone as long as the sun keeps shining.
I m starting now a big drone project with two intelligent drones programmed by me and for this i need a much longer flight time than the casual dr.
So far it has been flown by remote control up to an.
Although a drone that combined solar and battery power was flown in the past this is nus first one to rely solely on direct solar power.
I made this drone as a research and as i simple weekend project so you can also try if you ll like it.
