This heat-resistent drone can find and help people trapped
2023年7月6日 · The developers of FireDrones used polyimide aerogel, a gel made of gas instead of liquid, around all essential elements of the drone. Aerogel is extremely lightweight and highly heat...
Drone takes the heat - IOM3
2023年9月1日 · The FireDrone has a protective structural shell of lightweight, thermally super-insulating materials such as polyimide aerogel with embedded silica aerogel particles and glass fibres. This prevents the materials from shrinking and pore structures degrading.
Aerogels: Thinner, Lighter, Stronger - NASA
2011年7月28日 · Polymer-enhanced aerogels and polymer-based aerogels have numerous potential applications, both in space, on distant planets and on our own Earth. They are light, durable and extremely effective at insulating and preventing heat transfer.
Academic insight: Dangerous work for drones
2023年9月27日 · The mechanical and thermal properties of the aerogel affect the design of the drone. For example, we added glass fibers to prevent the shrinkage of the polyimide aerogel in high temperatures and an aluminum coating to reflect thermal radiation and enhance the insulating performance.
This hero drone can fly into flames and may revolutionize …
2023年6月30日 · The “FireDrone,” as it is called, is equipped with an insulating jacket made of aerogel, enabling it to collect and transmit data from the fire scene, even under extremely hot conditions. A hero drone that can fly into fires and save lives is being developed.
Heat-resistant drone could scope out and map burning buildings …
2023年6月26日 · Imperial College London and Empa researchers have built a drone that can withstand high enough temperatures to enter burning buildings. The prototype drone, called FireDrone, could be sent into burning buildings or woodland to assess hazards and provide crucial first-hand data from danger zones.
Fire-resistant drone demo shows gadget resisting gas flame
2023年6月28日 · The joint research team picked polyimide plastic aerogel as the main insulating material, coating the whole drone – including rotors – in fire-resistant material (see pictures). Aerogels are air-filled polymers used by NASA, for example, in the insulation of space suits.
Unleashing FireDrone, the lifesaving heat-resistant revolution in ...
2023年6月29日 · Researchers from Imperial College London and Empa - the material science unit of Swiss Federal Laboratories - have built a prototype drone, called FireDrone. As per The Reg, the drone uses a...
FireDrone: Multi-Environment Thermally Agnostic Aerial Robot
2023年6月13日 · Herein, a thermally agnostic aerial robot comprising structural thermally insulating material and a phase change material cooling system, inspired by natural thermal regulation principles, is designed, modelled and experimentally validated.
Heat-resistant drone locates fire survivors - The Naked Scientists
2023年6月30日 · Scientists at Imperial College London and Empa in Switzerland say they have developed a heat-resistant drone that could be used to scope out and map burning buildings and wildfires. It’s hoped that the FireDrone prototype will provide crucial first …
