drone takedown tools: beam guns and eagles

[Paul Jones]

I had not given drones too much interest except around wildfire season in Southern California and when the someone illegally uses a drone for a better view of the wildfires and forces the water dropping planes and helicopters to be grounded. That is when drone elimination weapons would be useful. I think Cal Fire and other agencies will be able to use their own drones for better fire fighting logistics.

I did not have much use for drones until we started looking into placing solar panels on our southern facing backyard slope instead of the back roof top. I have a neighbor in the higher hillside area of Yorba Linda, CA that flies a drone for creating high resolution videos of the homes in the higher hillsides around 1,300 feet above sea level. We are farther down the hillside at 750' above SL and now considering installing solar panels on our southern exposure hillside. Our next door neighbor just did this but I had no idea who else in the area had installed solar electric until I found on YouTube the high resolution videos produced by the neighbor flying the drones (see for example

). This help me to make the business decision that installing solar panels on the back slope was more common than I thought and a less expensive option than a roof top installation.
