Egr. Department of Electrical Engineering, Wright State University, 2015. This thesis is used to describe the proof of concept and design for a much needed answer to a major flight time limitation in smaller application drones. All small electric drones and small electric vehicles have the same major problem, short run-times. The average time a multi-rotor helicopter runs is for approximately 20 minutes. The concept idea of the combination of a permanent magnet generator (PMG) and a controller can extend this flight time. The basic idea is to add the similar function an automobile has, which is the alternator. This thesis will include, but not limited to the following for an Automatic PMG controller for a PMG primary source that would be theoretically added to the vehicles power systems:•Design needs for longer application usage•Design steps taken with conceptual reasoning•H-Bridge Buck-Boost description & operation•Simulation and testing of the proof of concept•Integration methods, and•Implementation.It also serves as design template of a voltage and current source controller for multiple small application platforms and will be compared to the state-of-the-art design concepts in trying to reach a similar goal. 2015 English text Wright State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1453458312 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1453458312 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
