    15 watts could certainly lift a drone, a 15 watt drone probably couldn’t lift a 15 watt fiber power receiver though. Really the fiber is just silly. Use a laser or regular wires

      DJI Mavic 3 (a modest camera drone) has a 74Wh battery with a claimed flight time of 46 minutes. That means it needs 48W.

      High speed racing drones, like the kind you might want to make into a kamakazie drone, will take a lot more than that.

        Mavic 3 is heavy. There are much lighter and much smaller drones that use less power. You wouldn’t need your tank-tethered drone to be fast.
