León, Gto., January 21, 2019.- José Domingo Cajina Ramírez, student of the second semester of Physics Engineering of the León Campus of the University of Guanajuato (UG) develops a drone with which it will be possible to safely transport objects, dangerous substances and other elements without needing to touch them.

As part of the DLA (Drone with acoustic levitation) project, José Domingo Cajina is currently working on the prototype to incorporate acoustic levitation technology, which will allow transport of dangerous materials, substances that should not be Contaminated, as well as objects of varying dimensions and qualities.

The weight of the drone is one kilo and three hundred grams with the carrying capacity of three kilos in the arms of the device and additional to it an approximate weight of 10 grams with the technology of acoustic levitation.

According to its creator, the drone will have an advanced technology that is currently in development, but with great potential to be used in different sectors of industry, national security, the health sector, among others.

"It is a project that I have been developing for about two years and consists of three levels: the first level refers to the structure or skeleton of the project; The second, to the electrical-mechanical part that is made up of four motors, by the programming card and some other electronic components and the third level, which is what makes this project special, is the acoustic levitation ".

He explained that "this physical principle consists basically in taking advantage of the acoustic waves that can come out of a horn or other apparatus that produces them so that the particles or the sample can be levitated".

He said that this technology is already used in the pharmaceutical industry to obtain accurate results during drug filtering, but now the new technique can bring the levitation to the next level in another sector which will optimize work time, safe handling of materials and higher productivity.

Finally, he emphasized the importance of generating innovative technology and taking advantage of the knowledge and options offered by this type of gadgets that are becoming more popular and that are used by governments for military applications or search for people in natural disaster cases.

He added that within a period of approximately two years the project will conclude with an estimated investment of five thousand pesos.
