KDE Direct News Releases

 In addition to helping aerial photographers and hobbyists take to the skies with drones, brushless motors can also power explorers seeking to reach the depths of the ocean. Besides the apparent necessity of being waterproof, brushless motors for underwater applications must be equipped to perform in extreme conditions, enabling these motors to withstand the high pressure and oxidation levels found several fathoms underwater. Underwater Drones As of 2017, drones are taking both the skies and seas by storm. Drones capable of operating underwater feature technology able to advance marine research and undersea cinematography in addition to helping us explore...

You know the noise we’re talking about. The unmistakable, high-pitched whir that signifies that a dentist’s drill is being used. And since you usually only hear that noise when you’re in the waiting room or the dentist’s chair, that sound is typically one that creates stress and anxiety for patients. No one likes getting their teeth drilled, and that’s exactly what the sound of the dental drill represents. But what’s the alternative? Reducing the “Whirring” Noise The whir of a traditional dental drill has been unavoidable for years. However, recent developments in brushless motors have enabled us to significantly reduce...

The International Aerial Robotics Competition (IARC) is an annual competition challenging teams to develop aerial robots to solve engineering problems on the cutting edge of what is achievable by industry or government robotics. The current mission involved developing an autonomous drone capable of interacting with randomly moving robots on the ground to direct them toward a specific goal. The Robotics and Automation Society at the University of Pittsburgh (the RAS team) designed and produced a drone to compete in Mission 7 of the International Aerial Robotics Competition. The IARC team from RAS, sponsored by KDE Direct, competed in IARC Mission...

One of the decade’s most exciting developments in technology - and art - is drone photography. High flying cameras help you capture stunning new viewpoints of familiar subjects and are used in everything from cinematography to real estate. With drone photography, the cost of getting a camera airborne has dropped substantially, and a new industry was born. But there’s more to getting a good shot than just getting your camera in the air. Framing, brushless motors, and smooth panning work together to get you high-quality photos. Getting Started Many drone companies highlight ease of operation with encouraging phrases like “Fly...
