This improved the storage capability from 30 Wh / Kg to 60 Wh / Kg for NiH2 batteries. Life expectancy from 7 to 15 years. ❖ The latest entry into the scene is Li-Ion batteries which offer 120 Wh / Kg storage. Life is expected to be 15 years.  Lithium Ion Cell Parameters Specific Energy : 100 - 140 Wh/kg Energy Density : 200 - 300 Wh/l Charge voltage limit : 4.2 V Typical charge voltage : 4.1 V Av.

They need to be designed to be strong but also lightweight.  Drone Arms ⮚ Arms basically used for preventing the damage to the motors or expensive electronics on the frame in the event of any crash. ⮚ Arms can be built at home using Aluminum or hard plastic tubing.  Drone Landing Gear ⮚ Usually landing gears use for landing the drone without any damage. ⮚ Landing gears also used for compensating the ground interface on sensors which are located on on-board flight controller.  Drone Propulsion ⮚ Propulsion is the act of moving or propelling the object in forward direction. In an airplane, the engine is part of the propulsion unit along with the blades (propellers). ⮚ In a quad rotor, we can’t attach jet engines, so we use motors and propellers as our propulsion unit to provide propulsion.  Drone Motor Brushless DC motor(BLDC) ⮚ A brushless DC motor (also known as a BLDC motor or BL motor) is an electronically commutated DC motor which does not have brushes. The controller provides pulses of current to the motor windings which control the speed and torque of the synchronous motor. ⮚ A brushless motor, by contrast, utilizes a permanent magnet as its external rotor. In addition, it uses three Note- Motor chosen for the drone should meet the following phases of driving coils and a specialized sensor that specifications: ⮚ Light weight tracks rotor position. ⮚ High speed & torque  Drone Propeller ⮚ It is a device which converts the rotational motion into the thrust. ⮚ A device with several flat metal parts (blades) which turn round very fast in order to make a quadcopter or a plane move. ⮚ Drone propellers used to be smaller in size and usually made up of carbon fiber or plastic material.  Parameters of a Standard Drone Propeller 1. Diameter of a propeller: The end to end distance of the propeller is called the diameter of the propeller. 2. Pitch: Propeller pitch is a linear dimension usually expressed in inches, feet, millimeters, or meters, and is equal to the advance of the propeller in one revolution. ⮚ Dimension 10*4.7 inch ⮚ 4 Propellers ⮚ Directly attached to the motor ⮚ 2 Each rotating CW & CCW ⮚ Propeller use for to drive Drone (Quad copter)  Types of Batteries ⮚ Batteries are of different types, made with different variety of materials. Some of these batteries are not rechargeable, such as alkaline batteries and some are rechargeable such as Li-ion, Ni-Cd, LiPo, Ni-MH, lead acid etc. Wet cell batteries: ⮚ A wet cell battery generates power from an electrode and a liquid electrolyte solution. E.g. Lead Acid batteries, Ni-Cd batteries, etc. Dry cell batteries: ⮚ A dry cell uses a paste electrolyte, with only enough moisture to allow current to flow. E.g. AA, AAA, Li- ion, LiPo etc.  Drone Battery (Lithium Polymer) ⮚ For our purpose of providing current for a drone, LiPo batteries are a perfect fit. ⮚ The battery used in a drone is a Lithium Polymer or LiPo battery. ⮚ This battery has various advantages over other traditional batteries. ⮚ The most important reasons for using LiPo batteries in drones are that they are energy dense and light in weight. ⮚ If you compare various types of batteries of equal weight, LiPo batteries provide a very high energy i.e. very high current. Hence, LiPo batteries have an ability to provide more current at very light weight. This helps your drone to get high energy without much increase in overall weight.  Selection of Lithium Polymer Battery High Energy Density ⮚ LiPo batteries have a very high energy density i.e. they can carry the maximum amount of energy per unit of weight of the battery. ⮚ This keeps the battery light and with sufficient energy to power an entire drone + its own weight. C-Rating ⮚ Another important factor in a LiPo battery is the C Rating of the battery. C-Rating of a battery refers to the maximum safe discharge current that a battery can provide (without exploding). C-Rating is calculated as: (Max safe current in mA) or (mAh capacity of the battery). ⮚ Drone motors, especially multi-rotors, generally require a very high current to lift it up. To ensure this, the batteries require to be of a high C-Rating. Many drones use C-Rating between 15C to 25C.  Selection of Lithium Polymer Battery Voltage ⮚ The operational voltage of a single cell of a LiPo battery is 3.7V. We can get to different values of operational voltages by adding these cells in series and parallel combinations. Discharge Profile ⮚ A fully charged single cell LiPo battery has a voltage of ~4.2 V. However, very quickly after starting to use the battery (at ~90% of the charge), the voltage falls to 3.7 V where it stays stable for most of the battery operation. When the battery charge reaches 20%, the voltage starts dropping sharply below 3.7V.  Drone Battery Charger ⮚ It is the source of power for the drone setup. ⮚ A lithium-polymer (LiPo, LIP or Li-Poly) battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses a soft polymer casing so that the lithium-ion battery inside it rests in a soft external “pouch.”  Drone Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) An electronic speed control (ESC) is an electronic circuit that controls and regulates the speed of an electric motor. It may also provide reversing of the motor and dynamic braking. Miniature electronic speed controls are used in electrically powered radio controlled models.  Drone Flight Controller The flight controller is the brain of a drone. A small box filled with intelligent electronics and software, which monitors and controls everything the drone does. And just like the brains of different organisms, flight controllers also vary in sizes and complexity. Some of the flight controllers are: ⮚ Autopilot APM ⮚ KK Board ⮚ Pixhawk ⮚ Naza DJI ⮚ Arduino Board Autopilot APM (with Power module)  Drone Flight Controller KK Board Pixhawk  Drone Flight Controller Naza DJI Arduino Mega  Drone Transmitter and Receiver ⮚ 2.4 GHz ⮚ 1000m Range ⮚ Drone requires minimum 6 channel transmitter & receiver  Drone Autopilot (Autonomous) ❖ A drone with GPS and Autopilot system including a camera gives plenty of aerial options including fly according to a pre-programmed route. ❖ GPS is used for tracking and navigating the drone. ❖ UBlox 7M (shown in the diagram) is most suitable GPS for tracing and navigating the drone. Drone Satellite Launch Vehicle - 2023 Thank You
