SYSTEMS AND METHODS UTILIZING NANOTECHNOLOGY INSULATION MATERIALS IN LIMITING TEMPERATURE CHANGES DURING PRODUCT DELIVERY
First Claim
1. A system to limit temperature changes of a product during transit, comprising:
- an unmanned delivery vehicle comprising;
a body comprising a nanotechnology insulation material, wherein the nanotechnology insulation material comprises material having been manipulated at a molecular level during the macroscale fabrication of the nanotechnology insulation material to enhance insulation effectiveness;
at least one propulsion system configured to induce movement of the unmanned delivery vehicle;
a control circuit coupled with the at least one propulsion system to control the operation of the at least one propulsion system and control a direction of travel of the unmanned delivery vehicle, wherein the body physically supports the propulsion system and the control circuit; and
a product cavity defined within the body and configured to receive at least one product while the at least one product is transported by the unmanned delivery vehicle to a delivery location.
