Flying Mechanical Insects in Swarms Near Power Lines
I propose we use some of the small MAV simulated mechanical bugs as our model. At the University of California at Berkeley, gentleman named Ron Fearing has designed such a flying bug. In my proposal I wish to use his design with a polymer muscle to flap the wings and that the wings pick up the energy leakage as it flies thru the electro-magnetic energy. As the wing goes thru the air it will pick up the static electricity until it sparks. Similar to when you drag our feet against the carpet. Once it is built up it will spark and move the polymer muscle and then flap the material memory wings and like a rubber band the wings will flap back. Thus you have propulsion.
