Technology - SkyGrids

A black drone with a Skygrids power receptor attached to the front. It is hovering near a Skygrids beaming station which has a mobile black circular attachement on top of a smooth silver base.

With the dedicated beaming station a direct link is created able to cover distances of several kilometres and potentially scaling up the technology to hundreds of kilometres.

On the receiver side a dedicated power receptor attached to the drone ensures an efficient energy conversion and provides a constant power supply used to operate and charge the batteries, wherever and whenever.

SkyGrids use cases

Inspection of industrial facilities

Inspecting industrial facilities is time consuming as operators need to fly over large facilities. By using long range wireless charging the need for landing and switching batteries is ellimated, automating part of the operation.

Surveillance from the sky

For surveillance it is important to keep an eye in the sky for prolonged periods of time. Todays drone systems need to land and switch batteries on a frequent basis, which is taking valuable time.

Remote package delivery

In the pursuit of remote package deliveries, flight time is an essential factor. Using wireless power transfer stations the flight time can be increased, enabling technologies such as automating deliveries using drones.

Increased payload capacity

Traditionally adding heavy payloads will decrease flight time significantly. But with wireless power transfer the flight time can be maintained or even increased, even with heavier payloads.
