Why haven’t other companies and/or hospitals exploited on this if the technology exists?
Matternet is trying to sell systems to hospitals, entirely autonomous system. Focusing on college campuses because of US laws. College campuses have everything packed together, small city. Don’t work with the public. Amazon is not delivering with drones because it’s cheaper to have a person actually drive around. A drone is a liability, crooks may steal it.
What are your thoughts on drones flying over private airspace?
Technically there is no such thing as private airspace, airspace is owned nationally, and controlled by the FAA. They are entitled to use air above their houses, we can fly higher than that.
How much should our product sell for?
Gig economy paid for doing a task. Take an Uber driver, picks you up, drives to the place, then gets paid. Gig economy service type thing. Have to compete with other people. Look at zing.com or matternet.com. How much does it cost a hospital right now without anything? 15-20 bucks an hour for one dude, so maybe charge a bit less than that. 50% ratio. Better time. Positives and negatives, stats, failure rates. Hospitals don’t buy anything, only sell. Likelihood of hospital contracting with a private company that does something the hospital already does is low. Maybe just sell them the equipment. The hospital needs to profit.
What should be the drone's operating radius? By this, we mean what is the furthest distance a drone should go?
Limited to the line of sight by law. 3000-foot radius. Most third world countries don’t have laws or FAA. Go third world countries, where they can’t do this.
Do you happen to know how to make our payload larger or make our battery life longer?
Make aircraft lighter, don’t have the technology to make a better battery. Carbon components, 3D printer components, as light as possible.
Do you have any tips on how we can make our own drone?
Carbon as much as possible, 3D printed. Start with heavy parts, then make it lighter and lighter. Fiberglass too heavy. Use heat molding. A standard electric motor is brushed, contact at points electricity jumps, sparks. Good for power, not for speed or efficiency. No points of contacts, two magnets, incredibly efficient, only bearings wear out.ESC electro speed control takes the signal from a remote control, plug battery goes to, 3 wires to the motor, brushless motor you can swap wires around and turns another way. Four ESCs, control motors independently. The test demo project can get away with lower quality. If commercially, needs to be reliable, only DJI and 3D Robotics are Industrial Grade Reliability. ActionDrone cost a lot. Cheapest 300, A3 1800, 3 GPS antennae, need high quality if need to be commercial. Make the drone idiot proof.

Research from the previous page!
- The Donation
- Red Cross asks for a donation of 1 pint of blood per person
- Take some extra blood in test tubes
- Donation is kept on ice during shipment
- Processing
- Blood information is accessed
- Separate blood donations
- Red Blood Cells
- Platelets
- Plasma
- Maybe processed into components
- Cryoprecipitate
- Helps blood to clot
- Cryoprecipitate
- Maybe processed into components
- Each component is called a unit
- Testing
- Tests for multiple diseases
- Trypanosoma cruzi (anti-T. cruzi) (2007)
- Hepatitis B virus (HBV) Surface Antigen (HBsAg) (1971), Hepatitis B Core Antibody (Anti-HBc) (1986), HBV DNA Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) (2009)
- Hepatitis C virus (HCV 3.0) Antibody testing (1990) and Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) (1999)
- Human Immunodeficiency viruses, Types 1 and 2 (HIV 1,2) Antibody testing (1985) and NAT (1999)
- Human T-Lymphotropic virus (HTLV-I/II) (1998)
- Syphilis (Treponema pallidum) (the 1950's)
- Zika virus NAT (2016)
- Babesiosis (Babesia microti) Antibody and NAT (2012)
- West Nile virus (NAT) 2003
- Results are processed electronically and stored
- If results are positive, donations will be discarded
- Tests for multiple diseases
- Storage
- Units are labeled and stored
- Storage Data
- Red Blood Cells
- 6 degrees Celcius for up to 42 days

- Room temperature for up to 5 days
- Plasma and Cryoprecipitate
- Frozen and stored for up to 365 days
- Red Blood Cells
- Distribution
- Blood is ready to be shipped to hospitals 24/7
- Hospitals have small shelf space so they ask for extra medical supplies constantly
- Transfusion
- Blood transfusions are given to patients in a wide range of circumstances
