David Wetz, professor of electrical engineering
An electrical engineering professor at The University of Texas at Arlington is helping develop a safer battery to power drones used to inspect mines for hazards.
David Wetz is part of a team working to design a battery that is intrinsically safe because it cannot cause sparking, a danger in mines filled with hazardous, explosive gases.
New Mexico Tech is the lead institution on the grant, which is funded by the Alpha Foundation for the Improvement of Mine Safety and Health Inc. The University of New Mexico is also a partner on the team. UTA’s share is $178,000.
