Automatic Green Sea Drone

The first project:

Target: Keep CPU and Arduino always on

CPU: Intel Atom
OS: Linux
MB: Mini ITX
Storage: 60GB on line SSD
             1TB powerable SATA

Total power cons. in stand by prevew: less than 30W

Power IN:
- 2x 20/30W Solar Panel
- Wind Axial generator
- Sea waves power generator


It can capture:
Via USB device (can be powered off)
- images and videos from 3 or 4 cams
- gps position

Via Microcontroller (Arduino)
- Enviromental: temperature, pressure, humidity
- Electro magnetics sensor
- Wind (via wind power generator)
- Wind direction
- Battery voltage
-

It can connect to the net and send live/stored data via:

- 3G, umts, gprs 

- wifi

Active part controlled by Arduino:
- 2x main water engine brushless motor (0-100W) via 2x ESC 10A
- 2x mini geared motors for anchor - via mini brushed ESC
- main lighting power- via 10A ESC. The main lighting plant can be dimmed
- Powered USB Switch 1 - via relays board

- Powered USB Switch 2 - via relays board

- Mass storage usb hdd - via relays board 

- Motors circuits (to switch off all ESC) via relays board
- Wind power in switch off - via relays board (less important)
- Solar power in switch off - via relays board (less important)
- 4x LED aux lighting via digital out

Battery:
20-40Ah LIPO 11.1V pack (4x - 8x  5000mah 3S LIPO)
5-10Ah NiMh 12V pack (20x-40x AA battery)

To develope:
- Very long range 14Mhz or 28Mhz (7-11 m) reciever with DTMF like decoder
It can allow send commands from a very remote station.

- long rang DTMF or Morse transmitter
50W pulse can reach great distance!


Total size: cm 80-90 x cm 180-200 (?? to define!)
