Paid on delivery
Build a tethered drone that should be able to stay aloft at 100 meters altitude, resist to 50 km/h winds and is powered by the electrical cable. The electrical cable is a thin ribbon. Dimensions : 2,5 cm x 100m x 0,9 mm The cable is made of 5 layers : Layer 1 : thin polyethylene to protect the cable (10-50 microns) Layer 2 : aluminium foil (100 microns) Layer 3: dyneema ([login to view URL]) (600 microns) Layer 4 : aluminium foil (100 microns) Layer 5 : thin polyethylene to protect the cable (10-50 microns) Weight : 20g / m (= 2kg for 100meters) Total weight of the drone : 4 kg (including the weight of the ribbon) Drone motors: KV280 ([login to view URL]) : 100W per motor Total consumption : 500W We can help for the raw materials to be bought. This first project is the initial phase of a larger project.

Hi there, This is Bogdan from Romania. I'm a mechanical engineer - specialized in the industrial robotic field, 3D designer and modeler (from time to time and some projects I could make the functional prototype too). I'm doing product design, industrial design, reverse engineering, ideation, etc. I have over 15 years experience working on various systems/devices across multiple industries, from concept to launch. 1 - for the purpose of this project, the best approach is to use a existing drone which to be retrofitted in order to accommodate the new motors (including blc(s)) and the tether system 2 - i still have one concern... why to use ribbon cable - at that width will create a total surface of 2.5 sqm which in the situation the cable will be exposed to the wind will simply blow away the drone...(why not use reinforced multi-wire cable, which being round will have a better aerodynamics, will be strong enough, and also will fit better on the winder) 3 - which the wingspan (distance from propeller axis) should be, and what kind of propeller do you want to use? 4 - i guess that the commands will be given through the cable, but the drone still need the avionics (accelerometer, inclinometer, etc) - i could take care of the mechanical sid 5 - do you need any camera attached? with or without gimbal?... (i guess the drone is for some sort of utility service like inspection). what kind of camera? and a lot more questions about different issues upon contact here Regards Bogdan

Hi there, I can develop the drone for you. I worked for a client to develop a drone which was powered by external cables and is used for painting the roof and walls. do you want it to be developed as a prototype or you need it complete for the production? I assume the target would be to develop the mechanical design, electronics, and prototyping. I can provide a complete end to end solution for your requirements. I would like to discuss the project details more to propose a relevant solution for your product.

Dear Sir, I am wondering, why you haven't invited me to work on your project? If you are looking for an engineer to design a low altitude satellite, then I am the best candidate for that position. I have recently done, a Great archaeological discovery of an ancient fling craft. I have 80% reverse engineered the system. I have recognized, that the craft has been implemented an advance anti-gravitational technology in order to rotate in circular path around the pre-specified designation, rather than rotating around the Earth. It doesn't have wings except very complicated geometrical arrangement. It has special beam gun, in order to create attraction force between craft and rotating center, exactly similar to the purpose of the power supplying cable of your design. The ancient craft, use multiple effects simultaneously in order to lift it up. We can extract the aerodynamic technology which has being implemented in ancient craft, to design a drone for your project requirement. I have build the test model and also have done the wind test. It has great lifting force. That is a spectacular design. I can provide you, images and also video links of the experiment. I would like to discuss more details about the project. If you would award me to work on your project, by defining an excellent budget, then I will have a Great opportunity to design amazing craft for your project requirement as well as to proceed my research about the ancient craft. Best Wishes
