How to build a Drone that needs NO Battery? Wireless Energy DRONE 

This video is incredible Leon. It definitely deserves a magnitude of views greater than what it received. Wonderful work. I'll share with my subs in a few days.

I wish you a happy new year guys!!!

Happy new year!! Btw thank you for using English, helped a lot ,♥️♥️

This is awesome! Of course the interesting things happen when you don't have the camera running, haha. Now that you don't have the controller, I wonder if you could get some level of "self stabilizing control" back by using a separate transmitting and receiving coil for each individual motor. As it moved up and down each motor would kind of self regulate because it would move farther and closer from its transmitting coil. You would need 4x the circuitry though, so that might get too heavy. This was really fun though, looking forward to what's next!

Well done! And, this video brings back very good memories from the time spent at Imperial :) I remember that drone quite well!

Amazing , you deserve more subscribers.

Happy new year 😍

Nice work Leon! I was kinda worried about interference from the power transmitter, but I'm glad to see you got it working. Have you considered using a much larger/more powerful transmitter (maybe a Tesla coil, if it doesn't cause too much interference) to transmit power far enough to fly the drone for longer distances?

Really nice video, very exciting until the end. I am very excited about the following videos :D

Ich denke, du kannst den 3d gedruckten Rahmen für die Spule an der Drohne viel dünner machen.

Happy new year⚡⚡⚡

surprised this video doesn't have a million views

If you used a voltage regulator, why the dron died? So amazing and interesting proyect. Maybe, it could get more reach if you build a enoughly big and powerful Tesla coil that allow the dron flying around inside the room. Would you like try to do it? That would be super exciting! Greetings from Argentina! 🇦🇷 (Sorry if my English is not very correct).

I've enjoyed watching your experiments. This is very similar to a failed experiment of mine. I hope you have better luck on the end.

Incredible idea, execution, and video production. The only thing you didn’t explain is how you created a wireless drone without 1,000,000 views on board.

Make a ZVS driver with mosfet gate drivers so the gate voltage rises more sharply and further reduces losses. Also maybe make a megahertz ZVS drivers with some exotic transistors like GaN

If you make some sort of portable platform for it to hover over, keeping the drone stable above it could be a fun little game :D

try the main rotor structure of a 3 channel toy helicopter. those setups resist change, making them stable in the air without the need of a flight controller(except for the yaw, but wiring the motors in parallel should allow them to spin at the same speed, yaw is probably not a problem)

Great work!! Have you tried using a Tesla Coil for wireless power? Have had good luck with long distance and not having to be in close proximity just a idea, keep up the great work and the explaining the details. Also happy new year ⚡⚡

That was so cool and the outtakes were a lot of fun! I relate to messing up what you want to say hahah

Great Video Leon! Wireless charging. brilliant idea ;) love to see the result in the next video

Tesla will be proud of you ✌️

How about using supermalloy to the center of the coil on the drone? To consentrate magnetic field~

This concept is actually used to charge delivery drones without them having to land.

What would happen if you pulse the coil you have around the quad at 7.83 Hz, with as many Amps you can muster? 7.83 Hz is the Earth's resonant frequency. Would it lose or gain any weight without the motors attached? I wish I had the means and your setup to test that. Happy near year and thanks for your super interesting videos.

Nice! If this just had any usecases! :'D

I would like to see you attempt this with beam forming…

Good video

To go higher can you transmit more power farther with a bigger transmitting coil and hang the power receiver circuit and coil down below the drone? Would a bifilar coil improve performance? A bifilar coil has much more capacitance than the spiderweb coil if that's why you used the spiderweb coil. And didn't Tesla patent a bifilar coil?

Hello Leon, I must say I’m very impressed by all the things you do and it’s been an inspiration. Next year I have my „Matura“ (Swiss) and for this we need to do a project. I wish to do the project on building my own tesla coil(s). Any Tips?

Amazing. I've already try it But my zvs drive are not steel for it can't work's perfectly 😶

Excellent work!

du könntest eine starke tesla spule auf wireless optimieren und damit die drohne poweren ;)

Can you use a microwave for transmission in a video?

what is the size of the coil ? and wire gauge size ?

Thanks for the content

I've wondered how light can get a not wireless powered by a microwave oven literally design similar to the "Can a microwave power a plane? - Bang Goes The Theory - BBC One" RU-vid video. I've wondered about using lighter foil, foam or a lighter frame that's maybe not a foam styrene... though I'm thinking whatever is lightest and strong enough to be the antenna and parts of the actual drone. Wondered what an inductive mathematical analysis would determine as well. Maybe fractal antenna design or something a little wider band with polarity consideration also in the antenna design. Spiral conical if not a foil on foam fractal... maybe even mesh so like a polymer with the foil embedded in thin sheet rolled to get more of the penetrating photonic energy a well for being the structure?

i made a tesla coil, i ran it on 50v. instead of the tesla coil blowing up, the power supply blew up.

Nuice

But camera drone want software ?

Danke sehr technologisch fortschrittlich Video. Wie viel kostet die clamp-meter 210E in Deutschland?

Nice concept but you use a alternative source of power....The idea I was looking for was grabbing instant power from air

should have made the electricity go to a super capasiter that can store energy so that it could act as a battery as the drone would go out of range so it wouldent just crash but hover down slowly untill it got back in range of the power

Haters could say, you are using those thin copper wires to deliver power :D :D at 6:50

Parametric coupling has infinite range Lol

now remove the props - em flight. or step it right up and quantum entangle some batteries.
