Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] Aerial device with bioelectromagnetic wave detection and measurement system

[0003] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The invention, as the title of this descriptive document states, is an aerial device with a system for detecting and measuring bioelectromagnetic waves. It is an innovation that offers advantages previously unknown within current techniques.

[0005] TECHNICAL SECTOR

[0006] The present invention falls within the sector of diverse industrial techniques and transport in aircraft, aviation and astronautics, especially in aircraft not provided for elsewhere, characterized by a special use.

[0007] Similarly, it includes within the sector current needs of life in agriculture, forestry, breeding, hunting, capture and fishing, especially in animal breeding, poultry farming, beekeeping, fish farming, fishing, animals for breeding or reproduction, not provided for elsewhere and new varieties of animals.

[0008] It can also be used for body recovery activities, and for use by emergency services.

[0009] STATE OF THE ART

[0010] The project arises as a response to the growing instability and economic decline that the fishing sector in Spain is experiencing.

[0011] Given this situation, there is a need to move towards alternative, fuel-free methods, with the aim of reducing polluting emissions and minimizing the costs associated with using traditional vessels, including maintenance, handling additional vessels, and personnel. Furthermore, the fishing sector currently faces unfavorable working conditions, along with practices that, in addition to being costly, generate a high dependence on hydrocarbons, which has a negative impact both economically and environmentally.

[0012] Fishing activity, as it is carried out in its traditional form, does not respond to the principles of sustainability, and continues to be a significant source of polluting emissions.

[0013] Accordingly, this invention presents an aerial device with a bioelectromagnetic wave detection and measurement system that reduces auxiliary vessel costs, improves working conditions, and supports fish detection, increasing efficiency and promoting sustainable fishing.

[0014] Currently, there is no known existence of any aerial device with a bioelectromagnetic wave detection and measurement system that presents structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal or similar to those described in this descriptive report, as claimed.

[0015] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] The object of the present invention is the creation of an aerial device with a bioelectromagnetic wave detection and measurement system that provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description.

[0017] This invention introduces advanced technologies into a drone to optimize fishing operations, facilitating the location and capture of species in a more efficient and sustainable way.

[0018] It is also applicable to other sectors or activities such as its use by emergency services for the detection of bodies.

[0019] The present invention describes an aerial device with a bioelectromagnetic wave detection and measurement system consisting of an improved drone with an enhanced light source, a night vision camera, a bioelectromagnetic detection system, a satellite data integration system, a communication system for transmitting images and video, an electrical power supply, and a control unit.

[0020] These components are specifically configured to enhance the drone's functionality in fishing techniques, enabling the location and capture of target species even in low visibility conditions or adverse sea conditions, in order to support the crew in carrying out efficient and sustainable fishing.

[0021] With bioelectromagnetic detection systems, data transmission and night vision, the device makes it possible to identify schools of fish in low visibility conditions and in choppy waters, which reduces costs, improves profitability and increases safety in the fishing process, while minimizing the environmental impact.

[0022] This innovation provides broad benefits to the fishing sector by optimizing resources and strengthening sustainability and environmental responsibility, promoting more efficient and careful fishing practices that respect marine ecosystems.

[0023] The drone features a main body with compact dimensions and foldable configurations, whose chassis is ideally made of a lightweight and highly corrosion-resistant material, such as carbon fiber or aluminum.

[0024] This device, for example, is of the type that has four propellers and brushless motors, which gives it excellent maneuverability and operational efficiency.

[0025] Furthermore, the drone includes an advanced satellite navigation system that incorporates, among other components, in the preferred configuration, a high-precision GPS navigation system, barometers, and magnetometers, thus ensuring accurate navigation. It also preferably features an obstacle detection system and high hovering accuracy, contributing to its functionality in complex environments.

[0026] The drone is controlled by a flight controller that allows for autonomous navigation and ensures the stability of the device.

[0027] Regarding the lighting, the enhanced light source consists of a high-power LED spotlight, typically with adjustable brightness and beam angle, located on the underside of the aircraft and designed to attract fish to the surface. The night vision camera includes infrared illuminators that emit light invisible to the human eye, the return of which is captured by the camera, significantly improving visibility in the dark.

[0028] Furthermore, the bioelectromagnetic detection system comprises sensors mounted on the drone, including at least one magnetometer, electromagnetic sonar and very low frequency (VLF) receivers, allowing the location of bioelectromagnetic waves emitted by the fish.

[0029] This system works in conjunction with navigation, which integrates a barometer and a magnetometer, improving the accuracy in detecting schools of fish by identifying their biological activity.

[0030] Additionally, the satellite data integration system can allow the download and analysis of environmental data through programs, such as the Copernicus program, indicating areas with a high probability of fishing, based on the concentration of phytoplankton, which attracts the target species.

[0031] This information allows the drone to automatically program its flight to these areas using specific coordinates, remaining stationary at a predetermined height to operate and use its spotlight to attract the target species.

[0032] The drone also incorporates a communication system that transmits images and video on multiple frequencies and generally includes components such as transmitters that use wifi or radio frequency technologies, antennas, encoders and video compressors, as well as connection interfaces.

[0033] In terms of energy, the power source consists of long-life batteries, such as hydrogen fuel cells, which allow for extended flight times and easy replacement once depleted. The drone may also have solar cells on its top to further increase its flight time.

[0034] Finally, the control unit is a remote controller that can be configured to operate on multiple frequencies and includes a touchscreen, a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity module, and protection against moisture and dust. This remote controller also features a USB-C fast-charging battery, dual-operator mode compatibility, navigation sensors, and storage capacity for flight data and maps.

[0035] The touchscreen, which consists of an LCD screen, allows real-time visualization and monitoring of data from the bioelectromagnetic detection system, including the position and concentration of located schools of fish, similar to a fish finder.

[0036] To use the aerial device with bioelectromagnetic wave detection and measurement system, the user must follow an operating method that begins with the identification of high probability fishing points through the analysis of previously downloaded satellite data.

[0037] Next, the user must automatically navigate to these points of interest and activate the concentrated LED light to attract the fish to the surface.

[0038] In addition, it is necessary to monitor the fish stocks using the bioelectromagnetic detection system and the night vision camera.

[0039] This procedure allows the vessel to conduct purse seine operations efficiently and with precision. Each stage focuses on specific features that enhance the functionality of the aerial device, transforming it into an advanced tool for fishing operations.
