Things You Should Know About The U816 Quadcopter

By Rosella Campbell


The rise of modern technology has brought about so many innovative creations that do more than one functions. These stuff are made by creative thinkers who wish to make lives better. They have varied functions, all of which are aimed to make life easier and more fulfilling.

These ideas are turned into individually unique things, gadgets, appliances and other tools. They are utilized in varying fields such as in transportation, in the field of medicine, in the pursuit of knowledge, even in warfare and some in the field of arts and entertainment. One of the notable modern innovations is the u816 quadcopter.

This so called quadcopter is a combination of two words, as its name is originally quadrotor helicopter. This is a unique take on ordinary propelled copters. It is lifted and maintained airborne by all four turbines, instead of the usual main and tail rotor systems of standard ones. This one has four uniquely pitched turbines, two that turn clockwise and another two that turn counter. To make a quad work, one has to alter some of the characteristics of the torque that powers it, such as the load and the lift thrust capabilities.

Even though they have just become popular these recent years, quadrotors have actually gone a very long way. They have been around ages ago, back to earlier times as old as the 1920s and the 1930s. Even though they were made with a very good idea in mind, the earliest ones failed magnificently due to their poor performances. Years later they resurfaced again, only to be rejected by the public a second time because they imposed too much work on the side of the pilot.

When quads were finally functional, they were then used for so many varying reasons. The earliest known functions of the said creation was mainly for research work. University scholars and those pursuing for higher degrees often use them in fields of related study. Over the years, . Quadcopters have helped in the study and awareness of navigation theories, flight control, and even in the field of robotics.

They are widely used as test platforms for several number of reasons. They are generally cheap and are available in all kinds of sizes to fit various needs. They are also of a very simple design, which makes them easy for use and maintenance even by amateurs. Projects and testings that usually make use of these objects are often a collaboration of professionals in the fields of computer science, electrical and mechanical engineering.

Quads are also of great use for military and law enforcement. These unmanned aerial vehicles are often used for surveillance and reconnaissance activities. They are used to extract valuable information from enemies without having to sacrifice the life of a person, which makes them very important in warfare. They are also used for search and rescue operations especially in areas that are unreachable by humans.

Nowadays, there are even some toys and similar gadgets that take after the unique appearance of these quads. They usually come in a complete set with the quad itself, a USB charger, replacement blades, and other additional accessories. They are often found in the collection of the most avid toy collectors.

The u816 is the smallest model in the entire quad line. Its size makes it more lightweight and easy to maneuver. This is the perfect model for those who have not played with one before.
