Lightning disasters bring disastrous disasters to industrial and agricultural production and national defense construction, causing huge losses.

[0032] In addition, the control cabin 2 of the fixed-wing UAV is also provided with an autopilot, a flight computer, and a navigation system, wherein the navigation system includes a GPS positioning module and a radio tracking and measuring system, wherein the remote controller, the signal transceiver, and the wireless communication module are a flight control management system, and the fixed-wing UAV can be remotely connected to a remote control device, such as a handheld remote control or a background remote control device, since the remote control and automatic driving of the UAV are well-known technologies, they will not be described in detail here;

[0033] Example 2

[0034] See also Figure 2 and 4 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a human intervention lightning elimination unmanned aerial vehicle device, including a multi-rotor UAV; and also includes a carbon metal powder foil ejector 5, a laser lightning eliminater 13, a high-voltage ionization generator 8 and an electronic jammer 12 installed on the multi-rotor UAV;

[0036] The multi-rotor UAV includes a body 21 and a controller and a power supply arranged in the body 21. A camera 22 is arranged on the front side of the lower surface of the body 21. Different from Example 1, a carbon metal powder foil ejector 5 and a high-voltage ionization generator 8 are respectively installed on both sides of the bottom of the body 21, an electronic jammer 12 and a laser lightning eliminater 13 are installed in parallel at the bottom center of the body 21, and a parachute compartment is also arranged on the top of the body 21, and a parachute 23 is arranged in the parachute compartment.

It should be noted that the principle of opening the parachute 23 is consistent with the principle of opening the parachute of the existing UAV, and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] In addition, the body 21 of the multi-rotor drone is also provided with an autopilot, a flight computer, a navigation system, a remote controller, a signal transceiver and a wireless communication module, and can be remotely connected to a remote control device;

[0039] In summary, when the aircraft device is used, the electronic jammer 12 is turned on through remote control or self-driving to prevent the flight of the UAV from being interfered by lightning, so that the UAV is flown to the high altitude of the cumulonimbus cloud, and then the high-voltage ionization generator 8 and the carbon metal powder foil ejector 5 are started. With the cooperation of the two, charged carbon powder is sprayed to form an ionization channel between the cumulonimbus clouds, and human intervention causes flashover between and within the clouds, thereby reducing and eliminating the discharge of thunderstorm clouds to ground buildings, personnel, equipment, facilities, etc., thereby reducing the lightning disaster caused by direct lightning strikes;

[0040] At the same time, the laser lightning eliminator 13 is turned on, so that the laser lightning eliminator 13 generates energy by emitting high-power femtosecond laser pulses and focusing them, thereby reducing the breakdown voltage, causing the positive and negative charges in the thundercloud to breakdown when they are lower than the static breakdown voltage, eliminating the lightning charge, reducing the lightning energy, actively intervening in the formation of lightning, and guiding the excess lightning current to discharge to the ground through the laser ionization channel, thereby achieving the effect of active lightning protection. At the same time, before the lightning strikes, the lightning charge is actively ionized or broken down to discharge the electrical energy in the thundercloud. The electrical energy discharged before the lightning strike is less than the electrical energy generated when the lightning strike occurs, and therefore it is more conducive to lightning protection safety.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
