I tried to focus primarily on multi-rotors since some uav's can fly for days! I also apologize for the audio quality at the end, it seems not to render properly. Please don't raid area 51 with these drones :P
Crap,, I didn't even think of using them for area 51 until you put the idea in my head!!!!! LOL
@@garrykennedy5484 Hah, i'm sure it would be microwaved down! Flying around for 12 hours is pretty crazy tbh
@@Tech_Planet HAHAHA,,,, Bet you're right!!!
@@Tech_Planet microwaved down?? Perhaps the microwaves could be used for wireless charging like the last drone in the video. Area 51's attempts to bring down the drone via microwaves would only help it stay in flight longer.
I had a drone that flew for 20,000 miles. Actually, it hovered while tethered to a power souce. It never really went anywhere, but the Earth rotated, so I am counting it as a win.
Lol
The longest flying drones are fixed wing. All of them. No way in hell multi-rotors can outlast fix wing in distance or flight time.
A predator drone can fly for 40 hours without refueling.
There was a group of University students in Europe that made a solar-powered fixed-wing drone that flew for multiple days. These quadcopters are not even in the ballpark.
There is a huge difference in application for the two types. I, for example, am looking for a camera drone for detailed exploratory use. A quick flyby from a relatively high altitude will not meet my needs
@@garybarbourii8274 I'm aware. I was referring to the blatantly incorrect title.
@@ballwizz23 i think they are mistaking the word drone for a quad/multicopter rather than a unmanned flying vehicle
@@MrGG-rz3he Drone? Heh. There was a *manned* solar powered plane (Solar Impulse 2). One of its flights was 117 hours long.
It will be hard to implement something like that outside of prototype stage though. Lithium sulfide batteries are still not in mass production.
Good article. I'm interested in longer flight times for drones and this was illuminating, especially the first one, the US-1. The fact that they can get two hours of flight time is interesting. It always seemed to me that the weight of adding more batteries would counteract the longer flight time. This must be a min/max problem.
Thanks, I think 2 hours is the threshold for now, which is pretty incredible for electric.
My cheap Parrot Disco flying wing with 10A li-ion battery mod flies 2.5 hours with unlimited video stream because of a 4G softmod. Last week I traveled 50km's in 77 minutes. I had 40% battery life left and never lost my video feed. I love my drone.
Whaaaat?
Cool thanks 🙏🏻
Great video! As for the hydrogen source, it’s very easy. Build a makeshift electrolysis set up (basically running an electric current into water, separating the oxygen and hydrogen) and there you have it :)
H2 gas is not the issue…… the cryogenic freezer required to take the gas to liquid and the pumping system to fill your drones’ tanks with liquid hydrogen is.
@@hoppish088 Why bother making it a liquid? Just use a compressor with a pressure tank.
Awesome! First I heard about 'on sale' internal combustion/electric hybrids! Yaaay!
we ,Kids, used to suck energy from High voltage power lines without connecting any thing. We position a coil at the nearest possible location from the power lines... Induction...
Place magnetic resonance charge stations strategically and drones can avoid the hazards of landing. Building them on towers would be an idea to look at.
alo lindo video desearía que permanezcan haciendo material de calidad... Voy a continuar mirando sus creaciones. Les envio un abrazo chau 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Nice!
Come to watch video for long flight times. Thinking like 40 50 minutes. Number 7 is 2 hours HAHA.
Incrível !
what type of combination of motor batterie have the hybrix 2.0?
fuel gen directly to elec motor,or generator+batteries + motor?
Wheres the link to the guys using resonance to charge drones??? Are they still alive ??
A hybrid with a gasoline engine in it and it's still only weighs 5 lb that must be running a nitro engine like you see on RC cars
I thought I had novel idea using RC motor hybrid. Too many people for unique ideas. Lol
Greg Scott don’t let that deter you
More like a chainsaw engine
Gunns 'n' Bikes it would have to have large propellers. I guess depends on the size of the drone. The ones they are building as hybrids are larger than what I had in mind.
Heat and/or light can be used to generate electricity. If you put some kind of solar collector on the bottom of a drone, could you charge the batteries in-flight by shooting a laser at it?
Can you name me the Vtx of highest power that have good antannas can be used in a night eagle 2 pro ( a night vision camera )?
There are RC solar planes that can fly around the clock, because at daytime they recharge regular lipo batteries for the night. Quadrocopters are actually really inefficient. That's why they need hybrid systems to carry more energy. But you obviously cannot hover with a fixed wing and depending on your application, this may be necessary.
id have thought all the longest flying drones would be planes, particularly gliders or solar planes
it is read his comment
@@grass8741 whose comment?
U should have mentioned that all of these drones have an astronomical price!
what else would you expect for great expectations?
For missions that only require intermittent or occasional VTOL or hover, why aren’t there more examples of fixed wing designs -especially “flying wing” designs - that mount the vertical thrust motor/prop units in the body, so that there is little compromise necessary in providing the option of either mode of operation? I would think that transitioning from “copter” mode to “fixed-wing” mode and vice-versa would simply be a matter of changing which motor(s) were activated. Since holding the craft aloft solely by thrust consumes orders-of-magnitude more energy, having a fixed-wing modality available would mean a significant increase in flight duration and coverage area, and more options to trade off those things with payload limits and/or speed performance. It seems a lot of mission profiles follow a pattern wherein a vertical or greatly shortened take-off is followed by a high-speed, less observable and less vulnerable transit phase, then resuming vertical operations for delivery (such as weapons or cargo) or inspection or performing an observation interval, then transitioning again to a transit phase for a rapid return to base. Any thoughts?
If #1 has to hover near the ground in a charging circle then it's not really flying. It might as well land and replace the batteries. It could get back to whatever it was doing in the air faster than it can by hovering 6 feet off the ground in a single spot.
Where is the hydrone griflion availible?
Incorporate a solar powered charging on the drone and in theory it could stay in the air indefinitely or at least as long as the electronics and motors hold out for
Surely a gas powered quad would be a vibrating jello-fest?
Bloodgod40 with that in mind, reciprocating engines have been used as prime movers in aeronautical applications since the Brothers from Ohio.
What is the price for these tech planet
Is this the serious version of Randall the honey badger guy?
I like these except #1, I can't see the utility of it. If it lands then makes a little more sense to have it land at waypoints then continue its mission but why hover. If it has to stay in place then just land. Even if we consider ocean missions a floating landing pad seems better.
Maybe unmanned way points for a mission planner
In flight laser recharged drone? Yeah laser power limitations, atmospheric diffusion, and beam divergence are all issues but the inductive charging drone made the list
The last one resonant charging!? AWESOME! Now couple that with super caps and turn the hoop vertical and passthrough.
For the last one, charging only a few meters away from just landing and plugging in seems like cheating. It's a technicality.
Wow these drones are all way behind my drone features wireless chargingand can charge not only from the sun while flying but also through the Tesla coils that put power through the atmosphere and the Earth
They will only get better with newer battery tech, maybe even high energy capacitors which can charge within seconds!
Mine has thermoelectric generation. Sails on the side of and extendable sheets of fabric to take advantage of thermals.
I would assume these UAVs would be tens of thousands of dollars. I have a drone I built for less than 300 $ that flies for 5 hours. He should of included fixed wing drones cause they have far more fly time.
#1: that is actually what was Nikola Tesla dreaming about and worked on.
He was so amazing... So ahead of his time. Definitely one of the greatest minds that we have ever seen!
Are these for sale?
And for how much?
i can say that the griflion h is no longer for sale
Imagine what Skynet has.
No, these are not close to the LONGEST Flying Drones. What did he try to do with this video?
Waw naice
Who else was here just to find a drone that will last long charge fast and be medium size to play with? Not one that uses gas or hydrogen.
I have a drone what can go on for days upon days without batteries. It's called a wife
I had one of those. Even though the "warranty" had expired long ago, I tried to return it to the "manufacturer" because it no longer worked. Damn, I couldn't even get a store credit. I wrote a scathing review on Yelp, though.
There is a nuclear powered drone that can fly for 7 to 9 years continously before it needs to refuel... An insider ;-)
Maynard Hill achieved nearly 39 hours and over 1800 miles back in 2003 with almost conventional model aircraft technology. See:-

Which drone is longest flying with distance not how long you can keep it hovering 🤦♀️. How far can it go from the controller
Price
what about line of sight ?
Yeah yeah.
CHWAŁA WIELKIEJ TARTARII!!!
voice of engineering ch
Should be long flying drones you cant get
Why don't the solor drone people use batteries and let the solor panels constantly charge the batteries and build a proper drone and not that flimsy mess .
Define a drone. Model helicopter??..plane?? ..glider?
You don't know what a drone is?
unmanned flying thing
US-1 The dash is silent. Just say US1
In India our drone pratap is der.... He fly his drone upto 150km within 10 min.... Can anybdy challange him.... He is gold medalist in Germany Japan....
How on earth does this bird get 11 days of flight time? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar-tailed_godwit
you missed the world record for electric drones (190‘): th-cam.com/video/uyrub4EuL6A/w-d-xo.html
My drone can change itself from power lines 60kv !!
RC plane 7 8 7 . United Plane two engine $flight in sky 2000 feet
The drone package delivery market is estimated to be USD 2.1 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 27.4 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 44.7% from 2023 to 2030.

.
The last 2 are worthless, the solar cannot be used for anything and the wireless charging drone takes 6 minutes to charge for 25 minutes of flight, you'd be better off landing and swapping batteries.
Last one is for commercial purposes since landing is more riskier than continuous flight
