Abstract

Drone also known as quadcopters or quadrotor were one of the earliest vehicles to have the ability to take-off vertically to the sky and successfully landing. Drone is basically a multirotor helicopter that uses four rotors to take-off and stay in flight. The objective in this project is to develop a drone powered by the RF energy harvesting. The development and implementation of a drone powered by RF energy is presented for the Bachelor Degree Final Year Project. This project is introducing the latest update technology in the world which is RF energy harvesting. RF energy harvesting is an alternative energy sources to power up the operations of the drone, by converting the RF energy to DC power. RF energy is obtain from ambient surrounding which transmitted by unlimited amount of radio transmitter and telecommunications medium around the globe such as wireless internet, mobile phone, base station, broadcasting station, WiFi and so on. RF energy is an alternative of renewable energy which can last for as long as Radio Frequency signal is presence in the surrounding. 32bit Acro Naze32Brushed Flight Controller is used in this project as it is easier to program with the BetaFlight software and able to operate with minimal supply of 3.7v. This project gives benefit to community needs as improve and increase the quadcopter flight length and reduce the cost of renewing the batteries of drone. Thus, by implementing this project, it can save the cost of maintain a drone and improve the ability of flight for the quadcopter for a much longer flight.
