Abstract: A secondary communication system for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is provided. The secondary communication system comprises at least one motor on the UAV and a motor controller in each motor that generates a signal from noise generated by the motor. A connector is configured to connect a towed sensor assembly to the UAV. A sensor acts as a receiver for the UAV, wherein the sensor receives a signal from a transmission source other than the UAV. The sensor is towed on the connector at a distance from the UAV sufficient to prevent or minimize interference of the received signal by the noise generated by the motor.

Abstract: The invention provides a hygroelectric charging and power management system. The system comprises at least one single layer or a bilayer of flexible hygroelectric polymer stacked together in series to generate power on collision with a water molecule, and at least one rechargeable battery having an input terminal and an output terminal. The input terminal is electrically connected to the single layer or the bilayer of flexible hygroelectric polymer to receive and store the generated power. The system further comprises at least one charger module to modulate between the single layer or the bilayer of flexible hygroelectric polymer and the rechargeable battery. The system applies Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) on the charger module to balance real-time recharging of the battery and to ensure constant power supply to a device under active load.

Abstract: A self-charging modular portable survival drone that recharges by natural elements is disclosed. The self-charging modular portable survival drone is capable of conventionally charging other devices, performing remote flight operations, and signaling for help. The natural elements include wind and water. The self-charging modular portable survival drone is configured to rapidly and repeatedly charge mobile battery units stored in ducted fan assemblies. The ducted fan assemblies can be used to charge personal electronic devices and power remote flight operations via modular drone. The self-charging modular portable survival drone can be used to signal for help using onboard high-output LEDs during SOS flight operations. The self-charging modular portable survival drone can further be used, during SOS flight operations, to broadcast current GPS coordinates over local search and rescue bands.
