A Chinese earthquake rescue team deployed drones to light up the night and aid search and rescue operations after the devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar.

At that point you're probably better off with a mirror on the bottom of the drone to provide light.

Ahh, a disco ball perhaps?

For rescue parties.

That is a good idea

Just make a small reactor to generate energy on board.

Just no. Transferring electric wirelessly is like trying to drink water by licking moisture in the air. It just doesn't work and will never be practical.

Transferring energy wirelessly is very easy. They had cannons that managed it quite well many centuries ago, and for example the catapult before that!

Transferring electricity wirelessly is much trickier though, you're right about that.
