To Design a Fire Ball Extinguisher Launcher Attachment to Drone

Abstract

Drone technology are the future of various fields. Malaysia has announced the use of
more drone technology as it can be used to create more than 100,000 job
opportunities for Malaysians. In 14 October 2021, drone technology will be going on
full throttle with the TPM Area 57. Area 57 provides infrastructures and facilities for
UAS innovators and developers to test their technology as well as studying them.
Moreover, other countries have already started their investments and research in
drone tech which gives them more applications of drone in their jobs. For instance,
firefighting. Countries like China, India and America has already started using drones for these operations which increases the percentages of survival thus gives more percentages to rescue and put out fire. Some of the product uses water and some uses fire extinguishing ball. This project is the design of fire extinguisher ball launcher as the
newest technology of this design was designed to only drop them from a higher
ground. Methods mentioned before, dropping the FEB could cause damage to the
drone us drones need to fly above the fire source thus causes updraft forces inflicted
to the drone. These forces can case drone pilot to lose control which can result to
drone crashes. The purpose of this design was to launch fire extinguishing ball to fire sources while being attached to the drone itself. Targeted objective was reached however, there were some difficulties faced that the design did not reach the full requirement made by customers.
