RE: Patent Assignment

An excellent patent list! I like your idea of inducing positive buoyancy. Does any one patent it? Is it feasible while people are looking ways to miniaturize the drones? How much volume is required to reduce the net weight of the drone? I remember that the German company Festo has done something similar to float their robots. Here are the links of AirJelly and AirPenguin.

    I saw another patent (on buoyant underwater drones) and this one, which Boeing got. This one seems to use the idea. The video explains that drones would be inflated like zeppelins and would be able to have power supply cables on board for the ability to recharge while floating. So it looks like the idea was taken.
