Posted by ArielTechGeek 412 days ago (https://newatlas.com)

The search for survivors at disaster sites is one of the most commonly suggested uses for drones. If those people are buried under debris, however, they won't be visible from the air. That's where LUCY comes in, as it could let drones locate survivors by sound.Continue ReadingCategory: Drones, TechnologyTags: Fraunhofer, Rescue, Disasters, Sound, Microphone

Drone-mounted tech delivers real-time air pollution reports

Posted by ArielTechGeek 496 days ago (https://newatlas.com)

While it's important to track and quantify airborne pollutants, most gas sensors are located at ground level, not up where the pollutants spread. A new lab-on-a-drone system is designed to address that limitation, by taking the tech to the sky.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: American Chemical Society, Air quality, Pollution, drones

Drone-mounted "bat shield" could help prevent wind turbine collisions

Posted by ArielTechGeek 768 days ago (https://newatlas.com)

Wind energy is often thought of as "clean" but, in fact, the technology has the blood of thousands – if not millions – of bats on its hands. That's not only because bats can fly into the giant wind turbine blades and die, but because the turbines create a low-pressure field which causes the bats' internal organs to explode when they pass through it. A new drone-mounted system shows promise in rer
