History and Development of Quadcopter




Quadcopter is also known as quadrotor helicopter or quadrotor. The Quadcopter is propelled by four rotors in which the two motors rotate in clockwise direction and other two motor rotate in anti-clockwise direction. The Quadcopter is controlled by speed of each motor with that it is moved forward direction, backward direction, right direction and left direction.

Who invented the Quadcopter?


Breguet-Richet designed the first four rotor helicopter in 1907 with the help from Charles Richet. The Gyroplane 1 which he made is flew upto 0.6 meters and Gyroplane 2 which had 2 blades had flew upto 7.85 m.

First Successful Quadcopter


The Quadcopoter was developed to solve the problem that helicopter could takeoff vertically. The First Successful Quadcopter was Omnichen 2, invented by Etienne Omnichen in the year 1920. The Flight had made 1000 Successful flights and flew upto 360 meters.

Remote Control Quadcopters

In Last few decades, many small scaled unmanned aerial vehicles have been used for various purposes. Recent development in electronics cheap and light weighted quadcopters were designed and manufactured. However early development prototype suffered from poor performance, poor stability and control.

Brushless Quadcopter motors


For past years they were using normal motors for quadcopters which drain the battery sooner so the quadcopters could not travel a longer distance. Replacing that Brushless quadcopter motors were introduced which is more efficient and reliable. It is used to drive the quadcopters for longer distances without draining the battery life. Now many quadcopters were using the Brushless quadcopter motors.

Types of Quadcopter

AeroQuad – Open Source hardware and software which is basically arduino projects which flew only minimum height and travels an small distance.

Parrot AR Drone – Parrot AR Drone are basically a radio controlled quadcopters which could be operated with the help of the Smart phones or Tablets.


Nixie – Nixie is a Small Camera Equipped drone which could be Wrist or Band. Nixie can be activated to unfold into quadcopter, which fly into its preprogrammed tasks such that to take photos or videos.


 AirBus – Airbus is a Battery powered quadcopter which is used as Urban      air taxi which fly autonomously in future.

Uses of Quadcopters

Military and law Enforcement


The Quadcopters are used in military and law enforcement for surveillance and rescue missions in urban areas.

Photography

The Quadcopters are used in photography for aerial imagery and it is suitable for this job because of their autonomous nature and huge cost savings

Drone –delivery

The quadcopters are used in delivering the food and products. Many Company were in the research field in drone delivery system.

Sports



The quadcopters are used to capture the photos and videos in clear view during the matches were the top view photos or videos were got with the help of this.

What if you could control the Internet

At present situation internet is the basic need for us, we are using the internet for many purposes from medicine to aerospace internet is used and helps in day to day life activates. Internet is spread out in all the areas and we could say it is the most powerful tool in the world, if you got a chance to control the internet what will you do.                                                Image Credit : Internet In general, more than 5 billion google searches are done all over the world and millions of hours videos are watches in facebook and YouTube daily. What if you got a chance to control the internet, whether it is possible to control the internet, the internet is actually controlled with the help of 7 keys and by 14 peoples all around the world. They maintain the DNS which helps in accessing the internet all around the world. The DNS helps in accessing ...

ARDUINO KEYPAD LOCK SECURITY SYSTEM WITH SERVO MOTOR

                    ARDUINO KEYPAD LOCK SECURITY SYSTEM WITH SERVO MOTOR ARDUINO:          Arduino is Basic system which is used for the controlling various system that does lots of work.The arduino develope in 2003,the arduino is basically a microcontroling unit the code return in the form 8 bit ,32 bit which is return in the language of C and C++`The RAM in arduino is SRAM. KEYPAD LOCK:                       A Keypad Lock is the microcontrolled Security System in which it can be controlled which is contolled by the keypad which is 4*4 matrix and we could be secured with that.Here is the simple project with that we can do the keypad security system.

Creating Artificial Planet

Already our Earth is loosing the habitable tendency due to the deforestation, Climate changes, etc. These all causes our Earth as inhabitable planet, for life better we should move into another planet to move into another planet we could create our own planet. But, it is possible to build a planet as like Earth with Atmosphere, Air, Water, Moderate Temperature, Gravity, etc. Theoretically, it is said we could build a planet like Earth. We could build our own planet right in our solar system for constant temperature as we get in our planet “Earth”. We could probably use asteroids in our solar system to build our artificial planet, but we are having only lower amount of asteroids in our solar system so we cannot build a planet as we expected so we are going to use OORT CLOUD to build our Artificial Planet but problem with this OORT CLOUD is it is so far from our Earth, we haven’t still invented that fast vehicle to bring that materials here, so this case could not help us. We have ...
