"Water Rescue Drone\nThe HERO Water Rescue Drone is a state-of-the-art, remote-operated marine vehicle that marks a new era in lifesaving technologies. Engineered for rapid response, this drone speeds through the water to reach drowning victims faster, significantly improving safety for both the victim and rescuer.\nWith the ability to eliminate the risk of a rescuer being drowned by a panicked victim during a rescue attempt, the drone ensures safe access in frigid waters or hard-to-reach areas inaccessible by boat or swimmer. Not limited to rescues, the Water Rescue Drone is also a versatile assistant in moving equipment or managing environmental hazards like fuel spills.\nChoose from two distinct models: the Standard, with manual controls, and the Platinum, featuring smart technologies such as auto-activation, auto-power down, and return-to-home functions. Each Water Rescue Drone includes a battery, remote control, power adapter with supply cord, and a comprehensive user&#39;s manual.\nExperience the cutting-edge technology and peace of mind that comes with owning a HERO Water Rescue Drone. \nSpecs\n\nWeight: 35.3 Lbs.\nDimensions: 47&quot; L x 31&quot; W x 10&quot; H\nMotors: 2 x Brushless DC\nSpeed Modes: Dual Modes include Normal and Turbo\nLoad Capacity: 440 Lbs.\nOperating Time: 60 Minutes\nOperating Temp: -4 to 122 degress F\nStorage Temp: -4 to 122 degress F\nNavigation Lights: Yes, Red and Green\nHandles: 4 total, 2 either side\nPower: Rechargeable Battery\nCommunication: Remote Control (2.4 GHz Frequency)\n\n\nSpeed - Normal Speed Mode\n\nSpeed: 11 mph No Load\nSpeed: 5 mph Loaded\n\n\nSpeed - Turbo Speed Mode\n\nSpeed: 14 mph No Load\nSpeed: 8 mph Loaded\n\nIn the Box\n\nWater Rescue Drone\nRemote Control\nWall Charger 110v\n\nFAQs\nQ: Does the Water Rescue Drone require fuel?\nA: No, the Water Rescue Drone is an electrical device that relies on a Lithium battery and does not require any fuel.\nQ: What is the Water Rescue Drone’s maximum speed?\nA: Approximately 11+ MPH in standard mode and 14+ MPH with Turbo Initiated\nQ: What is the Water Rescue Drone’s speed when carrying a person?\nA: Approximately 6 MPH\nQ: What is the remote control&#39;s range?\nA: The Water Rescue Drone&#39;s remote control has a 2,600 foot range or approximately 0.5 miles.\nQ: Does the Water Rescue Drone automatically turn on in the water?\nA: Yes, the Water Rescue Drone automatically turns on once in the water to enable operations. The Water Rescue Drone also has a manual on/off switch on the left side of the unit.\nQ: Can the Water Rescue Drone be thrown into the water and, if so, from what height?\nA: Yes, the Water Rescue Drone can be. thrown into the water from a maximum height of 60 ft.\nQ: How long does it take the Water Rescue Drone to reach a person in the ocean 100 yards away?\nA: The Water Rescue Drone is estimated to be 6x+ faster than a lifeguard in a rescue, able to reach a drowning victim 100 yards away in about 22 seconds. In comparison, we estimate it will take a lifeguard (carrying the standard rescue tube in the ocean, with surf, waves, current, and wind), approximately 1.5 minutes (2.3 MPH).\nQ: Is the Water Rescue Drone made out of plastic?\nA: No, the Water Rescue Drone&#39;s hull is made out of fiberglass, which is much more durable, in our view, than plastic and drives through the water and tides more effectively - the same reason why they build boats out of fiberglass and not plastic. In addition, plastic degrades in the sun after a period of time and cannot be repaired if damaged, whereas fiberglass is readily repairable.\nQ: Does the Water Rescue Drone have a hull shape?\nA: Yes, because the Water Rescue Drone is made of fiberglass, the unit does have a v-shape type hull, which enables the device to cut through the water more effectively than other devices that have a flat bottom. The v-shaped hull is a similar shape to boats, which also provides better turning as opposed to skimming the water. The v-shape also provides a more stable device on the water, meaning it does not flip over as easily as other devices.\nQ: What is the Water Rescue Drone rated for in terms of wave height and wind speed?\nA: According to the manufacturer’s sea trials:\nWave height: 8 ft. (Rated 5 on the Douglas scale)\nWind: 30 knots (Rated 7 on the Beaufort scale)\nQ: What is the Water Rescue Drone&#39;s payload and what is the weight it is able to transport in the water?\nA: The Water Rescue Drone can support or transport approximately 440 lbs., which is equivalent to two people. The unit is also able to, therefore, transport other materials of similar weight or pull lines for floating environmental retention barriers or even small vessels, so as not to expose workers.\nQ: Does the Water Rescue Drone have a camera?\nA: Although a camera is not installed on the Water Rescue Drone, there is a camera mount on the bow or front of the unit to allow for use of a camera selected by the operator.\nQ: Can the Water Rescue Drone operate at night or on dark stormy days?\nA: Yes. There are two LED navigational lights representing port (left) and starboard (right) of the Water Rescue Drone.\nQ: What happens if the Water Rescue Drone flips over, can it still operate?\nA: Yes. The Water Rescue Drone has a self-righting technology, whereby the operator simply selects reverse on the included remote control by pushing backwards on the remotes accelerator or trigger. The platinum version now provides an auto-righting feature, whereby the unit automatically flips to its correct operational side.\nQ: What is the Water Rescue Drone’s shipping weight?\nA: The Water Rescue Drone shipping weight, with box, is approximately 60 lbs.\nQ: Does the Water Rescue Drone go in reverse?\nA: Yes, the Water Rescue Drone is able to reverse in the water, however, the speed is much slower than in forward.\nQ: How long does it take to fully charge the Water Rescue Drone’s battery?\nA: The Water Rescue Drone takes 2-3 hours to fully charge from a low battery level.\nQ: What is the Water Rescue Drone’s warranty?\nA: Hero provides a 2-year warranty and offers an extended 5-year warranty at an additional cost. Under the warranty, Hero provides all service, parts, and labor, however, shipping is incurred by the customer.\nQ: How far can the Water Rescue Drone travel on one battery charge?\nA: The Water Rescue Drone can travel approximately 3 miles on a full battery charge.\nQ: How is the Water Rescue Drone&#39;s battery charged?\nA: The unit&#39;s series of batteries are charged by simply plugging in the included charging cable into a US electric outlet and attaching the end of the cable to the upper front charging input of the device, located just under the camera bracket.\nQ: What is the Water Rescue Drone’s expected useful life? \nA: Based on usage, the manufacturer estimates the Water Rescue Drone’s estimated useful life is approximately 10 Years, assuming the battery is replaced.\nQ: How much does the Water Rescue Drone weigh?\nA: The Water Rescue Drone weighs approximately 32 lbs.\nQ: How many and what type of motors does the Water Rescue Drone use?\nA: The Water Rescue Drone has 2 jet-type brushless motors at each end of the unit, taking in water and then pushing the water out to maneuver the Water Rescue Drone.\nQ: What is the range of the Water Rescue Drone&#39;s remote control?\nA: The Water Rescue Drone&#39;s remote control has a range of approximately 0.5 miles.\nQ: How does sea level/elevation impact the range of the remote control unit?\nA: Sea level does have some impact on the range of the remote control to communicate with the Water Rescue Drone - the increase in elevation from Sea Level to a 33 foot elevation, increases the remote control’s communication distance by approximately 650 feet or 20 feet for every 1 foot increase in elevation. The average 6 foot lifeguard chair, therefore, will theoretically increase the remote control’s communication capability by 120 feet, from ~2,600 feet to 2,700 feet (0.5+ miles).\nQ: What colors is the Water Rescue Drone available in? \nA: Orange, however, custom colors may be provided upon request.\nQ: How does the remote control communicate with the Water Rescue Drone?\nA: Communication is via radio frequency at 2.4gHz\nQ: What is the Water Rescue Drone’s shipping weight?\nA: The Water Rescue Drone shipping weight, with box, is approximately 60 lbs.\nVideos/Docs\n"
