## About the Project

<div><figure><img src="/files/u9no0l4iLmBvHwucKzAa" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/nlcyOarEOGxCNKSlFzKo" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

* The JungleMaker is a Drone payload that can carry and dispense upto 320 seedballs over deforested land.
* The quick release mount design allows attachment to different UAV Airframes.&#x20;
* The drone and payload can be configured to drop 1-4 seedballs at a time at an interval of minimum 1.5m and above autonomously using a pre-planned waypoint mission.&#x20;
* The reconfigurable design allows for modification to accommodate various seedballs ranging from 15 mm to 60 mm spherical diameter.

## Objectives

To make a Seed-ball Dispenser with the following technical Specifications:

1. Boundary Dimensions: 500mm x 500mm x 500mm&#x20;
2. Weight: <5 kg
3. Capacity: 8.5 kg of seed-balls&#x20;
4. Rated voltage: 7.5-60V DC

## Methodology Used

The payload and custom parts for the drone were made with different techniques and technologies listed below.

1. MJF 3D Printing - Battery covers, Mechanism frame, Electronics weatherproof enclosure

## **Impact or Significance**

* In 2017 alone a total of 44,969 hectares (111,120 acres) of land was burnt due to wild fires.&#x20;
* This included the historic Pine Forest of Leiria of which 86% was burnt.&#x20;
* Reforestation is slow, time-taking and difficult.&#x20;
* By using modern techniques and innovations such as drones, the rate of reforestation and its success rate can be significantly improved.&#x20;
* The JungleMaker project is one such example.
