This is not antigravity.
Chasing A Sound of Peace.
Noise pollution is a growing concern in many urban and suburban areas.
Drones are increasingly being used for many things such as delivery, agriculture, and construction, and as such, the noise generated by drones can become a nuisance for people living nearby.
Slow Hover, Low Hum.
Currently, this prototype is only able to lift 40kg equipment, excluding its own weight. With every iteration, we manage to push the limits of buoyancy.
In the wild, loud or noisy drones can disturb and disrupt the behavior and natural habitat of wildlife.
Animals looking for food can be easily spooked by sudden loud noises, which can cause them to flee, hide or change their behavior. This can make it difficult to observe or study them, and may even cause long-term negative impacts on their populations.
It is also low altitude and very huge, making it impractical for military spying purposes. When it's up there, it definitely commands presence, making it exclusively ideal for search & rescue, and habitat observation. It is very very slow.
Version 1: The Capsule
Internal screens, solid capsule for easier manufacturing rugged design.
In addition, some wildlife species are particularly sensitive to high color contrasts and sharp edges. They could perceive this as a threat, lessening their chance to win their game of food.
This version allows for a friendly approach, with its simple curves and plain color.
Version 2: The Visor
Basic sensors, cameras, and auto fly.
Birds rely on their hearing to communicate and navigate, and loud drones can interfere with their ability to communicate and find food.
This unit not only hovers slowly, but it also sports a wide acrylic panorama that observers can use for better visibility without taking out camera equipment that might look "threatening". A mammal does not perceive a camera tripod like we do.
Version 3: The Veer
Main feature is obstacle avoidance.
By active detection, a scientist can fly solo, plot their flight path, and leave the machine to navigate autonomously. Solo missions leave more room for food and supplies inside, allowing for longer periods of wildlife monitoring, observation, and rescue.
Solo missions also allow for versatility since the scientist can quickly adapt to evolving scenarios on the field.
We want this to be free.
The countless hours we render here are for zero-profit, because we believe in making people connect again with nature. We follow the idea that everyone should have an equal chance for education.
So if you like, help us develop & create the first 100,000 SubbLevs for society. We are powered by volunteer builders and the engineering is fairly basic. Well, compared to an electric car.
We are also working to find ways to incentivize for-profit companies (without charging users) so they can help us build the first 100,000 units. Please do come to our presentation about this concept. Both this and the EF system are meant to be tightly integrated, and hopefully this'll be in a positive light.
- Side Note: We have already turned down 2 offers to privatize this idea. This should be publicly accessible.
- And just like no one patented the invention of the wheel, this must also be free from any patents.
- You can still copyright your car design, but not the roundness of a wheel.
- In the same way, you can copyright your SubbLev shell design, but not the tech that makes this possible.
Stop staring at your boring wallpaper. Experience this side of the planet. Humans are about to visit the next planet, but before that happens, it's a good time to witness forests first without converting our grasslands into roads.
So, let's hover over nature.
