Dubai now has a patent for charging drones continuously

Dubai: Dubai Electricity and Water Authority’s (DEWA)’s Research and Development Centre has registered a new patent for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) charging system that enables continuous charging for UAVs (drones) and thus provide longer flying hours with a large storage capacity. The innovative system uses a group of UAVs to charge the main one through electromagnetic induction, the authority said on Sunday. The innovative system can be used for government, military, commercial, and personal operations. This is in addition to improving the efficiency of charging and facilitating the charging process. Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, managing director and CEO of DEWA, praised the researcher’s continuous efforts which have resulted in an innovative system to increase the efficiency of operations that use UAVs. Al Tayer noted that patents registered by the R&D Centre support efforts to make the centre a global platform for promising technologies. This maintains DEWA’s position as one of the best utilities in the world. The system enriches the scientific community in Dubai and the UAE through spreading knowledge and qualifying Emirati researchers. “At DEWA, we work to include innovation in our different strategies and initiatives,” said Al Tayer. He said the new initiative is part of the
