One of the main drawbacks for NAVs technologies today is the flight endurance, which is directly limited by the on-board battery capacity. The flight endurance (FE) is usually limited between 5 to 20 minutes before requiring a forced recovery to replace exhausted batteries. The objective of this poster is to further investigate the viability of extending flight endurance by complementing the battery source on-board the NAVs with new technologies that can harvest energy from the environment and to make the system selfpowered and energy independent. It can be used to possibly replace batteries or at least extend the lifetime of a battery. Traditional and novel battery with add of novel supercapacitors technologies are explored to extending and sustain NAVs flight missions. Subsequently we have been developing plasmonic Nano-generators (NGs) able to capture infrared emission. Infrared emissions can generate a substantial amount of energy, during day and night to constantly supply these flying objects for whole day.

Abstract
One of the main drawbacks for NAVs technologies today is the flight endurance, which is directly limited by the on-board battery capacity. The flight endurance (FE) is usually limited between 5 to 20 minutes before requiring a forced recovery to replace exhausted batteries. The objective of this poster is to further investigate the viability of extending flight endurance by complementing the battery source on-board the NAVs with new technologies that can harvest energy from the environment and to make the system selfpowered and energy independent. It can be used to possibly replace batteries or at least extend the lifetime of a battery. Traditional and novel battery with add of novel supercapacitors technologies are explored to extending and sustain NAVs flight missions. Subsequently we have been developing plasmonic Nano-generators (NGs) able to capture infrared emission. Infrared emissions can generate a substantial amount of energy, during day and night to constantly supply these flying objects for whole day.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
