BSHARK: How a Hydrogen Fueled Drone Can Overcome Flight Limitations

August 29, 2018 by Sponsored Post 2 Comments

Commercial drones are proving their worth in industries across the globe – but they still suffer from a major limitation.  Most rotary aircraft require a great deal of energy to stay airborne: while most battery technologies are heavy for the energy they provide.

When energy is transferred into or out of these batteries, heat is generated. That heat is not only wasted energy, but it can also damage the battery. Each battery has an upper limit as to how much energy can be pushed into the battery or drawn from it in a given period of time: and these limits on the batteries affect the flying experience and endurance time.

Integrated 4G Module: Unlimited Range

“BSHARK” offers an innovative solution with their complete hydrogen-powered drone system that can be controlled beyond national borders.

Conventional drones are restricted in their range by a limited transmission power. In addition, the transmission through obstacles and topography is severely restricted. In an urban environment, video transmission often only reaches a few hundred meters.

In contrast, BSHARK’S Narwhal 2 hydrogen-powered drone offers almost unlimited application options with the integration of the 4G network. Optimum data transmission is achieved not only in rural areas, but especially in inner-city areas with its excellent 4G NETWORK COVERAGE, despite the high density of buildings.

Stable Flying Experience

The Narwhal2’s B1-flight controller  is powered by a PX4 flight management unit, which runs on an APM processor. The gyroscope and accelerometer on the B1-flight controller are constantly sending the data they receive from these disturbances (and changes in the Narwhal 2 hydrogen drone position) to the main processing chip, which in turns sends commands to the motors through the newly developed  4-in-1 ESC, rarely found in other drones, and the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), the most widely used estimation algorithm for nonlinear systems, have been adopted into the navigator system, elevating Narwhal 2’s stability. A PID (proportional-integral-derivative) control algorithm is employed by Narwhal 2’s flight control, the most stable and adjustable algorithm in the drone industry. Through this entire loop, the flight controller manages to keep your quadcopter very stable.

The Narwhal 2 hydrogen fuel cell drone retains a low center of gravity even when loaded with its parts and payload, due to the use of the carbon fiber frame, keeping a light weight enabling higher and further flight. But don’t underestimate the durability of Narwhal 2 hydrogen-powered drone: the tough exterior is crash tested.

The Narwhal 2 hydrogen-powered drone is simple and easy to set up, ready to fly in a matter of minutes. Its airframe has been optimized for easier transportation with a quick-release landing gear design with detachable folder frame arms.  Through BSHARK’s efficient manufacturing process, the Narwhal 2 hydrogen fuel cell drone with all these features is still competitively priced at under USD $8,000 for the entire package: the Narwhal 2, Hydrogen Fuel Cell, Gas Tank & Valve, AIO, Control Station and Video Transmission.

The Narwhal 2 hydrogen-powered is just one of the creations from the house of BSHARK.  Based on size and efficiency, the Narwhal 2 is suitable for many industrial applications  including mapping & surveillance, firefighting & rescue missions, pipeline inspection and agriculture spraying.  With durability, endurance, and a competitive price, the Narwhal is a new solution for the industrial drone market.
