Publication number: 20190241264Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle comprising at least one rotor motor. The rotor motor is powered by a micro hybrid generation system. The micro hybrid generator system comprises a rechargeable battery configured to provide power to the at least one rotor motor, a small engine configured to generate mechanical power, a generator motor coupled to the small engine and configured to generate AC power using the mechanical power generated by the small engine, a bridge rectifier configured to convert the AC power generated by the generator motor to DC power and provide the DC power to either or both the rechargeable battery and the at least one rotor motor, and an electronic control unit configured to control a throttle of the small engine based, at least in part, on a power demand of at least one load, the at least one load including the at least one rotor motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2019Publication date: August 8, 2019Inventors: Long N. Phan, Sanjay Emani Sarma, Cody Miles Wojcik, Eli M. Davis, Benjamin Arthur Sena, Julian Lemus
