Enye yamandla amakhulu emhlabeni, General Electric, usanda kumemezela ukuthi namhlanje banephrojekthi eqhubekayo abanethemba lokuthi bazokwakha uchungechunge lwama-drones afakwe ubuchwepheshe obanele ukuze bakwazi thola ukukhishwa kwe-methane nokuvuza kwegesi ngokujwayelekile zamapulatifomu abo. Ngenxa yalezi zidroni, amathemba amazwe omhlaba ukuthi lezi zinhlekelele ezishaqisayo ezibangelwe ukuvuza okukhulu njengalezo eziye zabonwa eminyakeni yamuva nje zingagwenywa.
Le phrojekthi entsha isibhabhadiswe nguGeneral Electric uqobo njenge 'Iphrojekthi yeRaven'futhi ubizwa ukuba abe okujwayelekile ukuthi yonke imboni kawoyela izolandela kancane kancane ngoba iveza indlela esebenza kahle kakhulu futhi esheshayo yokuthola noma yiluphi uhlobo lwenkinga epulatifomu. Ukunaka imininingwane ehlukile ebone ukukhanya kuphrojekthi, izindiza ezinophephela emhlane zeRaven Project zizokwazi ukuthola ukuvuza kwegesi kude ngamamitha ayi-800 ngaphezu kokuthola ukukhishwa kwe-methane okungasongela imithombo kawoyela.
IGeneral Electric isebenza ekwakhiweni kwama-drones athile ukwenza ukuhlolwa kuma-rig ayo kawoyela.
Izindiza ezinophephela emhlane ezakhiwa yiGeneral Electric zigqama ngokuba nobude be- 540 mm ubude nesisindo esiseduze 9 amakhilogremu. Ngaphandle kobukhulu obuqukethwe, lawa ma-drones azokwazi ukundiza ngejubane le- Amakhilomitha angama-80 ngehora ngokuzimela okudlula Indiza yemizuzu engu-40. Ngokuya ngemiphumela yezivivinyo zokuqala ezenziwe kule phrojekthi, ngenxa yalezi zimoto ezingavamile, ukuhlolwa kungenziwa ngokushesha okuphindwe kathathu uma kuqhathaniswa nokwenziwa ngabantu njengamanje.
