It is very difficult to overestimate the importance of fresh technology As it became known, Russian engineers from the Higher Military Engineering Command School. Proshlyakov invented a project for a new drone. Its distinguishing feature is the ability to charge directly from the power line. “alt =” A drone that charges directly from a power line was invented in Russia “In Russia, a drone that charges directly from a power line was invented />
It is reported that the novelty is a multicopter with several propellers. At the bottom of the device there are current clamps that can open at the operator's command. It is them that the drone uses to “hook” onto power lines, after which it turns over and recharges in this position.
After the device's charge is replenished, it unhooks, flips back and continues movement.
The drone developers said that today drones are limited in flight duration precisely because of the need to frequently charge. The new development is devoid of this drawback, since power lines are very common.
