- Here is a glimpse of the work being done at Hydro-Québec’s Research Institute (IREQ) on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
This robot can fly near a 315 kV energized conductor and even land on it without difficulty. It could be used to inspect energized transmission lines, a high-value task for the electric power industry. - Наука та технологія
faraday cage ftw. awesome videos and work.
Hi there - is there any shielding of electronic components being done there? I'm assuming the propeller guards and legs are metallic and surround the components like a faraday cage? Have you "blown up" any drones in the process? Thank you
Propeller guards and legs contribute slightly to shield the electronic components. The most vulnerable components are shielded in a metallic box on board of the drone. We have never «blown up» electronic components because we make sure, in our labs before we land a drone on a live line, that they will be protected from intense electric and magnetic fields close to a 315 kilovolt line.
