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.

I can't wait for when wireless charging is able to extend multiple/hundreds of feet.

Wired drones are already capable of so much, and powering them wirelessly is going to be a civilizational game changer.

Edit: I'm talking high concept sci fi. The likes of which is probably outside of our reach but what we can strive towards. On par with Star Trek Transporters and Communicators from the 60s.

Wireless energy decays exponentially as distance increases. Wireless charging over hundreds of feet would require massive amounts of energy to the point it wouldn’t be worth it.

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
