How Drones could save Millions of Lives Via TechinBiz

This video talks about how drones could be useful in the medical field, an example is that a patient was waiting for an organ to arrive at the hospital she was having surgery at and took days for the organ to arrive so they could start the surgery. I personally think that if we used drones for shipping items faster it would be a great benefit . Some problems with this is that say the drone somehow breaks in the process of shipment you could risk damage to whatever is being shipped. Also the number of jobs such as UPS and FEDex drivers would decrease a significant amount.

On Wednesday night, 100 drones took to the sky to perform a synchronized “ballet” to live music played by the Sydney Youth Orchestra.After a coordinated ascent to 105 meters, the 100 LED-equipped quadrocopters performed a series of intricate formations, creating three-dimensional figures above the water at Sydney harbor.

Drones are much more easily deployed than conventional search-and-rescue operations. Though the teacher remains missing, the military drone was able to provide a high-tech scan of a large forested area in a short amount of time.

The ability to shoot outstanding video footage, is taking a giant leap forward going into 2015. The specs on GoPro's new Hero 4 are jaw-dropping-- UltraHD 4k video at 30 frames per second?! 1080p HD video at 120 frames per second?! WiFi & Bluetooth all in a box that weighs about as much as a Snicker's bar and priced at only $500?! Jaw appropriately dropped. Along with the continually improving camera technologies, drone tech is keeping pace and it's giving cinematographers options for new perspectives that up until a year or two ago were imaginable only with CGI. To get a sample of the creative options this combination offers filmmakers and cinematographers take a look at PlexiDrone's video: http://youtu.be/hROA-vOyId4 ;

"If you’re a six-foot human standing on a paddleboard, it’s just as well you don’t know that a 60-foot, 40-ton humpback whale with 16-foot flippers is surfacing directly beneath you. The only thing more unsettling would be if there were four 60-ft., 40-ton humpback whales with 16-foot flippers doing the same.  Just such a don’t-look-down moment played out off the coast of the Hawaiian island of Kauai in 2016. Ordinarily, it would have been the kind of experience that the paddleboarder—who came through unharmed—would have described to his friends with a helpless “You should’ve seen it.” As it happens though, his friends did see it, as did more than 200 million people so far on Facebook, YouTube and uncounted other websites around the world."

The hardware and software that run unmanned vehicles in the Arctic must be hardened against the extreme environment and have excellent acoustic communication with their mother ship, since ice, and therefore the vehicles portals to the ocean water, are always moving.

While Aerovel is focusing on building drones for commercial purposes at this point, the company actually signed a contract with the Navy back in 2012 to develop the Flexrotor for maritime surveillance.

The photos from the drone provide a near-infrared reading that provides information concerning how efficiently plants are absorbing sunlight to facilitate photosynthesis. Farmers can use the information to adjust their distribution of water and fertilizer to their crops.

Serial hacker Samy Kamkar has released all the hardware and software specifications that hobbyists need to build an aerial drone that seeks out other drones in the air, hacks them, and turns them into a conscripted army of unmanned vehicles under the attacker's control.
