Quad Pod

Update: 9/5/2015 I had a chance to do a fun little test using a flashlight as a beacon, check it out: https://youtu.be/QsDrN7l00Pc https://youtu.be/4ifEz35iZg0 This was just a test for fun with a big heavy Cree flashlight in the Quad pod set to strobe. The idea here is that you could use a light weight form of electronics to achieve this effect also, perhaps have it on a switch or a contact switch so it get's set off during the dropping of the pod, or while it's descending via parachute. It would help with locating the pod or tagging an area. Many useful scenarios. Update: 9/5/2015 I just did a quick test of the "water filtering" capabilities of the pod. It was fun. Let's be honest, it's not going to put brita out of business, but in a pinch, it will get some of the nastier stuff out of the water. Ofcourse you would want to be sure to boil the water if it came from a stagnant source. The water didn't come out crystal clear, but it was definitely much cleaner (refer to pictures). Also, one thing I noticed is that my test sample smelled fishy and gross, the filtered sample has no odor at all, so that says a lot right there. Update: 9/1/2015 Here are a few videos I did to test out the concept, check them out. Initial drop test: https://youtu.be/VBxGSgPIV5g Second drop test: https://youtu.be/jPZGLZl68Dc Quick explaination about FPV and how it would be used https://youtu.be/89-kDtkdHTE Third drop test, high. https://youtu.be/Tt3lnj0q6xM Just having fun https://youtu.be/W1Bv06t6n-A Potential items to include within the quadpod: Cell phone (designed to fit a standard sized smartphone) bandages and antibacterial cream knife food supplies fire starter, matches information, maps etc. life preserver flashlight small weapon for protection, ie gun, slingshot etc. etc. ______________________________________________________ I started this project the first week of the challenge. One of the first things came to mind when thinking about this challenge was to use the quad as a delive
