Ask HN: Methane to electricity generator for drones
Are there any small methane to electricity generators which I can install into quadcopters?
I am annoyed with small battery life of quadcopters, want to make quadcopter which can lift ~10-15kgs and want to get power from methane.
Any ideas or suggestions related to making battery life of quadcopter/drones live longer?
- aurizon 11y agoI saw a hydrogen one the other day. One problem is both methane and hydrogen are low density gasses and require pressure vessels = linits load. You could fuel with liquid methane or Hydrogen, as a small dewar flask of superinsulated pod would be light in weight, but would have limited shelf life. Catalytic break down of alcohol to Hydrogen might work?
