Single Part Drop Tank

grabcad

This drone accessory disperses payloads by tilting or spinning in flight. Its scalable size and customizable features cater to specific needs, from slower, precise dumping to rapid, widespread distribution. Potential payloads include ping pong balls with provisions for emergency victims, shark-repellent paintballs for beach-goers, mini-data buoys, seed bombs, or party favors. The design offers a universal mount system, hollow structure members for reduced weight, single-part construction, an open top for easy filling, and "no snag" internal geometry for smooth payload dispersion. Inspired by recent shark attacks, it demonstrates that not every situation requires precision; sometimes, a scattergun approach is more effective.
