Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	This disclosure describes a power unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that may generate a current from a magnetic field of an overhead power line. In various implementations, while the power UAV is flying, the power UAV may receive another UAV at a platform. A control element of the power UAV may generate signals to cause the power UAV to fly to a location of a conductor of the power line. The control element may also determine a position of the secondary coil with respect to the power line and generate control signals to adjust the position of the secondary coil based on the determined position of the secondary coil, a determined safety distance, and/or a determined threshold distance for efficient current generation. A shielding substrate may also be provided to shield electronics of the power UAV or other UAVs from magnetic fields.
