Design and Development of Solar Powered Quadcopter using 3D Printing Technology

Abstract

This solar powered Quadcopter is aimed to collaborate the concepts of photovoltaics and Quadcopter, thereby creating one device that combines all these technologies, to create a product that has the capabilities of that of a traditional battery powered Quadcopter. The major concepts explored through this project are the functionalities, capabilities and the production of solar cell power of Quadcopter. The usage of 3D printing technology has made it possible to decrease the weight of the Quadcopter without compromising on its strength. The change in the design from X to H shape has not only improved the stability but has also decreased the system complexity. With the use of simple mechanisms, the Quadcopter can be made to move on the ground as well. This project has made the device economical and efficient to use, filling the requirement gaps of the traditional Quadcopter.
