Generator Hybrid Firefighting UAV System
Firefighting drone technology offers a modern alternative to traditional firefighting methods, incorporating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into the firefighting field. These systems can operate both autonomously and remotely, providing safe and rapid intervention to the fire scene. Drones can undertake a wide range of tasks, such as fire detection, mapping the spread of the fire, and delivering water or chemicals to the fire.
Challenges Encountered in Controlling Fires
Firefighting teams often work in challenging environments such as intense heat, high altitude, irregular terrain, and low visibility conditions. Traditional methods can often result in loss of time, making it more difficult for the fire to spread. In addition, the lives of the teams can be at serious risk. Drone technology offers an innovative solution to overcome such challenges.
Generator Hybrid Drone System and Technical Specifications
This project presents a hybrid firefighting drone system with a generator that goes beyond the limits of traditional battery-powered drone systems. The generator system allows the UAV to remain in the air 8-10 times longer than equivalent systems. These long operation times make the response to fires in large areas more effective and offer less interrupted response. While battery systems need to be recharged frequently, hybrid systems can remain operational for longer periods.
Project Advantages
Positive Effects on Human Life
Advantages Compared to Manual Systems
Unlike traditional systems, drones require less physical effort and less time. This significantly shortens the response time to a fire.
Advantages Compared to Battery Systems
While battery systems need to be charged frequently, hybrid systems with generators offer longer operation times and are effective in large areas.
Potential Areas of Use
Rapid and effective response to fires in mountainous and hard-to-reach areas. Response to fires in high-rise buildings that fire ladders cannot reach. Fire extinguishing in industrial facilities and sensitive areas.
It can be used in the areas listed below, as well as many other areas, and has the potential to be used:
Mechanism Design
The fire extinguishing hose grip mechanism is an innovation that supports the carrying and speed capabilities of the drone. This mechanism ensures that the fire extinguishing hose is carried end-to-end safely and delivered to the desired point.
Fast Access to High Altitudes and Effective Fire Response Ability
The drone's rapid access to high altitudes offers a much more effective fire response in conditions where traditional fire systems are inadequate.
