Abstract
A drone is defined as any airborne vehicle that receives remote instructions from a controller or relies on software for autonomous flight. Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), perform tasks ranging from routine to highly hazardous. Initially designed for military and aerospace purposes, drones have gained widespread acceptance due to their heightened safety and efficiency benefits. Operating without an onboard pilot, drones eliminate the risk to human life in combat zones and can sustain flight without the need for rest as long as there is fuel available.Presently, advanced drones find applications across a diverse spectrum, including delivery services, law enforcement, surveillance of flood-prone areas, and numerous others highlighted in this report. The technology outlined in this report caters to various fields falling under the umbrella of Mechatronics, encompassing mechanical, electrical, and digital components. This project focuses on coming up with and developing a general-purpose drone that can be modified to serve a particular purpose

Abstract
An inverter is an electronic device use to convert direct current (DC) to an alternating current (AC). The alternating current can be set at a required voltage and frequency, which depends totally on the transformer, control circuit (chipset) and switching use during the time of production. An inverter is essentially a household device that convert power stored in a battery, windmill, solar panel to power every household appliance within it load capacity. That is to say, it supplies AC power from a DC source. Solid state inverter does not have any moving part like motor and areused in wide range of applications, from small switching power supplies in computers to heavy electric utility high voltage DC applications that transport large amount of power. Also, an inverter performs the opposite function of a rectifier. When designing an inverter, there is one thing you want to be cautious of, which is; what appliances am I using with the inverter. After Designing, the circuit was divided into four stages which are the; Drivers stage, Buffering stage, Oscillation and the Output stage. All these stages put together make up a whole inverter
