Power harvesting through drone and solar panel
Field of the invention:
The present relates to field of drone and specifically relates to drone with solar panel embedded to harvest power throughout the day.
Prior - art to the invention:
1. Titled "Energy-Harvesting Mechanisms for UAV Flight, by Dynamic
Soaring" authored by "V. Bonnin, E. Benard, J.M. Moschetta", published on
September 1, 2015, it describes "Dynamic Soaring is a flying technique which
extracts energy from an environment where wind gradients form, with the
potential to increase the endurance of small unmanned vehicles. The feasibility
to use dynamic soaring flight is questioned here; it requires the identification of
energy-extraction mechanisms as well as accurate understanding of the way
energy-harvesting performances are governed by trajectory constraints, vehicle
characteristics and environment conditions. A three-dimensional energy-neutral
trajectory is derived out of a specified optimization problem".

wherein, the present invention produces power through the day even if there is no sunlight
Objects of the invention:
The primary object of the present invention is to produce power throughout the day, the secondary objects of the present invention is to power generation without polluting the atmosphere.
Summary of the invention:
The green power harvesting is one of the worlds most required thing as of today. The pollution due to power harvesting is one of the major contributors. So, the green power harvesting is achieved by the drones and solar panels embedded together, drone initially power by the battery with the help of remote controller, it is being positioned in the particular attitude. Along with this there is connection to the ground and that is connected to the battery. This connection i is eMblisThedtaloyngtwithKI^ires for p^we^transmission arid' for ^firmness it is

given strength according to the height that is the rope could be varied based on the stiffness requirements. In that altitude the drone starts hovering, it has ground attachment, so could move from that height. Now, this drone has been put in the autorotation mode that is, setting the angles of the propellers to rotate on the existing airflow in that zone. In this case the power is generated by solar panel and the autorotation of the drone also produce power, could be transmitted to ground.
Brief description of drawing:
Figure - 1 is the schematic view of power harvesting through drone and solar panel.

Detailed description:
A drone (1) is one of the major contributors to versatile industry. The power supply to the drone (1) is given by a battery (3) pack which is kept outside the drone (l) separately. The drone (1) is embedded with a solar panel unit (4). This should be controlled for maximum power harvesting, that is automatically positioning the panel towards the sunlight with the help of a sensor (5). The drone (1) and the battery (3) are connected by a rope with wire unit (2).
Embodiment 1:
Initially the drone (1) is positioned on the desired height with the help of remote control. Once it attains the altitude, the drone (1) is put under auto-rotation mode. In this mode, the drone rotors are made to rotate on their own by the upcoming air flow. The drone rotors are also adjusted by remote control from ground. Once it attains the sustainable speed, the power supplies to the rotors are stopped. The auto - rotating rotors keep the rotors of the drone (1) in rotation. They are connected to the generator unit and starts generating power. It is transmitted to the ground with the supply of rope with wire unit (2) and stored in the battery (3). This battery (3) unit is a rechargeable one.
Embodiment 2:
The other embodiment is the solar panel unit (4) and a generator (6) unit to generate the power on the air, positioned on an altitude that will produce more power than it will produce in ground. Along with this, to produce maximum power, the sensor (5) will automatically sense and rotate the panel such that it faces sunlight, during day time. During night time, it automatically closes itself and positions itself back into the drone (1) itself and there is no power generation at night by this embodiment.
Both the embodiments are efficient in terms of power generation throughout the day, by utilising wind and sunlight.
