Abstract:
PURPOSE: A solar powered vertical takeoff and landing flight vehicle is provided to reduce the energy to be required for the flight by the buoyancy of airship, and to improve the flight efficiency by further using the power source using solar. CONSTITUTION: A solar powered vertical takeoff and landing flight vehicle (100) includes an airship (10), a solar battery (20), an electric wire (30), a control box (40), and a propeller (50). The airship is charged with gas therein, and generates the buoyancy. The solar battery is attached to the airship, and generates electricity by using solar. The electric wire is connected to the solar battery and transfers the electricity that is generated in the solar battery. The control box is supplied with electricity that is transferred from the electric wire, and charges a secondary electric battery that is mounted in the control box and controls an electric motor by using the electricity. The propeller generates the driving force by the electric motor that is driven according to the control order of the control box.
Abstract:
A flying robot (1) which is carried by a gas balloon for use in interior spaces is proposed, wherein the gas balloon (2) can be adjusted in such a way that a horizontal hovering height which is provided or predefined can be adjusted or implemented. Working devices (5) are located in a valve unit (3) and/or a housing which is arranged underneath the gas balloon (2). Together with the valve unit (3) or the housing, a drive unit (4) whose direction can be adjusted is provided with respect to said unit and said housing for moving the flying robot (1). The flying robot can be used both for monitoring tasks and for filming.
Abstract:
Patente de Privilégio de Invenção para um sistema de células de radiocomunicação portáteis, leves e flexíveis para offload de tráfego de voz ou dados em eventos ou aglomeração de pessoas e ampliação rápida de área de cobertura compreendendo uma plataforma aeronáutica flutuante, denominada "CÉLULA FLUTUANTE" (20), que se comunica com estações móveis (21) através de uma ou mais modulações diferentes (25), incluindo tecnologias Wi-Fi, 2G, 3G e 4G, mas não limitadas a estas, e opcionalmente com estações de transmissão de solo (22) através de protocolo sem fio (24), que transportam a comunicação para a rede (23). A "CÉLULA FLUTUANTE" é compreendida por um invólucro (12) e seus acessórios, responsáveis pela sustentação da carga útil (19) e por um sistema de ancoragem portátil. A parte flutuante e a parte de solo se conectam através de um cabo de amarração (15). Na primeira vertente a "CÉLULA FLUTUANTE" funciona como um elemento de antena distribuída, transportando sinal RF sobre fibra óptica (radio over fiber), através do cabo de amarração (15). Na segunda vertente a "CÉLULA FLUTUANTE" embarca o sistema irradiante completo, com processamento e cabeça de RF, podendo ser uma combinação de Wi-Fi Access Points (AP) ou células miniaturizadas.
Abstract:
The present invention is an apparatus and system for providing surveillance of an area or a space. According to some embodiments of the present invention there may be provided a housing containing a deployable and inflatable surveillance balloon, which balloon may elevate and/or support a surveillance payload including one or more sensor assemblies. Data collected by the sensors may be transmitted to a user interface which may display the data to a user.
Abstract:
An orientation system is disclosed for a lighter-than-air aircraft having a lower stage suspended from an envelope. The orientation system includes cords interconnecting the envelope and the lower stage and means for adjusting the length of at least one of the cords between the lower stage and the envelope. Adjusting the length produces a shift in the angle of attack of the envelope with respect to the lower stage.
Abstract:
A neutrally buoyant airship, such as a blimp, contains a lifting body which allows the airship to remain neutrally buoyant in air and a fuel cell located in the airship. A method of generating power in the neutrally buoyant airship, comprising providing a fuel and a oxidizer to a solid oxide fuel cell to generate power, and providing heat from the fuel cell to a remotely located lifting body, wherein the lifting body allows the airship to remain neutrally buoyant in air.
Abstract:
Das „ A F O " ist gekennzeichnet durch das neuartiges System der Bauart wie beschrieben , und das A F O senkrecht über Grund und Wasser abheben und landen lassen ( Fig. 1 bis Fig. 5 ), dadurch wird die Flugsicherheit und Effizienz gegenüber den bekannten und herkömmlichen Luftfahrzeugen jeder Bauart wesentlich verbessert. Die aerodynamischen Komponenten mit Auswirkungen sind ein wesentlicher Faktor und wirken bei einer sinnvollen A F O Konstruktion ( Fig. 2 ) begünstigend , z.B. Autorotation zum Landen - Notlanden , bessere Stabilität bei Aktion und Reaktionskräften , der Bodeneffekt hebt zusätzlich den A F O Körper, wenig Rezirkulation da der Rotorabwind (downwash) durch den umfassenden A F O Körper ( Fig. 1 ) eingegrenzt ist. Bei einer Hybriden Konstruktion ( Fig. 3 ) wird der Luftschiffteil abhebefähig so konstruiert , dass der statische Aufhieb erst durch die dynamische Auftriebsunterstützung des A F O Systems erfolgt und somit das Hybride Luftschiff exakter und schneller manövrierbar wird. Die Machbarkeit ist gegeben und kann mit dem derzeitigen Stand aller bekannten Techniken sowie auch den bekannten und verfügbaren Mitteln ohne weiteres gebaut werden. Alle die beschriebenen Möglichkeiten sind vom kleinsten Modell bis zu den größten kommerziell einsetzbaren Luftfahrzeugen und Raumfahrzeugen anwendbar ( Fig. 1 ).
