Cheap Drone

The article is about a cheap drone. You can see how it works in the video. You might say that this drone is not cheap because I used three drone motors. In this article only one motor was used:

You might say that it is not really a drone because it does not fly on its own. A real drone would cost a lot of money. If will require an expensive:

- receiver - $20,

- control system and motor driving circuit (Electronic Speed Controller (ESC)) - $20.

When I ordered the motors they came with the wires. I did not use a soldering iron. I used a 1 mm thickness metal wire to secure wire to sticky tape spool so that the drone does not rip the wire.

Components: sticky tape spool, drone motors - 4 (you might need spare), propellers for motors, sticky tape (clear, masking tape), insulated wire, power source (AA/AAA/C/D batteries), battery harness. 1 mm metal wire (to secure wire to drone fixture (sticky tape spool)).

Tools: scissors.

Optional components: solder, insulated metal wire (to attach power source to cloth drying rack).

Optional tools: soldering iron, pliers, wire stripper.

I attached the power source with insulated metal wire. I could have use rechargeable batteries.

At 3 V power supply the drone is moving slowly.

Testing showed that the drone does not really hover even thought I used three motors unlike the author of this article:

However, the drone moves at greater speed and looks more like an average drone. The flying object in the link above looks more like a plane.
