Hi, fairly new to drone making and I want to do it all myself. I need to create a safety measure for my quad copter as it has cost me a fair amount of money and i need to make a small self releasing parachute as well for a project of mine. I was wondering if you could share your thoughts on my design.
All it consists of is a tube with compression spring release system, but instead of having it trigger activated, i was thinking of installing a small electromagnet on the top with a servo in place as well. This will allow me to fly my drone around and when it gets low on battery or runs out the parachute will automatically release saving the drone from breaking on the ground or hurting someone.
Please let me know your thoughts, it is for a college project of mine as well as a personal addition to a quad copter.
