Design & Fabrication of Drone Charging Post

Abstract

Drones have undoubtedly become a wave of the future and they are a very useful piece of technology. It is because of two major reasons  Because of their compactness.  And their versatility and application in various fields. Drones have a lot of functionalities in tones of fields. You might have not noticed but drones have taken a major share in quite a lot of fields. For example, they are used in stealth surveillance if we add a camera to them, they can be used in photography also, they are being used in warfare by attaching a gun to them, in the recent COVID waves they were used to disinfect settlements from afar by equipping them with sprays, they can also be used to distribute supplies in search and rescue operations and they can also be used in delivery processes. But if drones are that common then why are they not that common. The fault lies with their limited battery timings. An average drone has a full charge flight time of 20 minutes approximately. And if you have a hefty budget and you buy a high-end drone then it may last for 37 minutes approximately. So, the problem is that during its operation a drone would have to come back to charge itself frequently. Now we have come up with a solution to create charging platforms and place them strategically to cover the maximum area with minimum platforms so that a drone would charge itself automatically when it needs. By this way the drones will charge themselves and continue their operation without the need of coming back to the owner after every discharge.
