Flying close to water???

[BossBob]

Imagine, an AI trained on YouTube videos or TicToc’s. It doesn’t bear thinking about.
In the lab’, we always used silica gel. 100g of silica gel can absorb 30g of water vapour.
Without the data, there’s no proof that the drone sensors got confused. No one ever supplies the data. The drone ‘jolted’ tells us nothing about what caused the ‘jolt’ but the data would show if it was a systems error.

Rice is commonly used as a very effective way of removing moisture from electronics. Check out these videos to see rice in action: Drone in water fix with rice , and Drone water damage fix.

I've done a couple of extensive searches for any evidence that rice is an effective desiccant and came up with nothing serious or scientific, only anecdotal stories and unsupported claims that defy logic.

You can find Youtube videos that claim that the moon landings were faked and that Elvis and Bigfoot appear regularly around the country. If you want to dry out electronics, rely on chemical desiccants and low-temperature heat.

My brother crashed his DJI spark in fresh water today, because he flew low over water without turning off the sensors!

Did you watch the videos and read what I posted just a couple of posts before yours? The infrared height sensors are designed to prevent the drone from lowering closer than 2ft to any obstacle below it.

The sensors are designed to prevent the drone from an unwanted landing. The sensors will only ever trigger the drone to automatically raise its height, not lower, unless an auto-landing is commanded. Even then, the pilot can abort the auto-landing by pushing up on the control stick.

Disabling the sensors removes that landing protection and only increases the likelihood of your brother crashing his drone when flying low over water.

That may be your opinion, but it is not supported by fact or logic.

Please show otherwise with a demonstration that can be reproduced by anyone else. Or produce the flight data log from your brother's flight so that others can analyze it.
