Dronaqua’s swarm-drone PFOS project
Dronaqua describes solar-powered floating drones designed to detect PFOS in waterways, treat sampled water with biochar, and map readings across an area.
- For
- Waterway monitoring teams and environmental researchers
- Worth noticing
- The displayed heatmap uses simulated data for a 20 m × 20 m sampling area; the page lists S$600–800 prototype unit costs.
Field notes
The page describes a three-stage workflow: a molecularly imprinted polymer sensor reads PFOS, a replaceable biochar cartridge treats sampled water, and GPS-tagged readings travel over an ESP32 mesh to a Raspberry Pi station. Its illustrated 20 m × 20 m heatmap is simulated, not a field result; the page lists prototype unit costs of S$600–800 and identifies component-level costs. It presents DronaData as a future growing record, not an existing dataset.
