So called “vampire drones” have the capacity to identify electrical transmission lines and leech off them

This is still speculative tech, no?

I remember seeing a demo. It doesn’t honestly seem very hard.

I don’t think induction alone would cut it. Having the drone make contact and step down hundreds of kilovolts seem pretty hard to me. Plus the EM interference on the drones systems would be a challenge under the best circumstances.

I bet it won't by next month or so.
