I would say yes, since the Predator's camera feed only shows a visible image. Painting your tanks RealTree doesn't really help against a thermal imager.

I wonder if he considered what happens if the parachute lands on top of the solar panels.

Bearing in mind that, from the sky, a mirror on the ground isn't going to show grass. It's going to show sky, horizon, treetops. It's going to look nothing at all like the grass surrounding it, so it'll be very easily visible from drones.

Unless of course the stuff is supposed to be magical adaptive camo rather than mirrors in which case sure, why not?

You'd never bother looking with a normal camera. With the heat output of those things you'd be able to see them with a thermal imaging satellite.

If we're going to get serious about camouflage, I think we should equip those tanks with a camera at the bottom and a large printer to create the sheet that goes on top. Why settle for an approximate pattern, when it can take an HD picture of the spot it landed on and become truly invisible instead?

1. Drop tank drones with solar panels
2. Immediately cover those panels with camouflage pattern to avoid detection
3. ???
4. Land supremacy

Estimating an area of 3m*4m and panel efficiency of 20%, you'd get about 2.5kW power peak at best, which it will never reach because the panels are parallel to the ground.
Expect high-speed maneuvers.

Regarding electrical terminology, I prefer "line terminal compartment" to "peckerhead" for the definition of the location where a motor's stator is connected to a power source.

For the high voltage motors, those compartments are the size of a washing machine and we generally have differential current transformers in there to make sure that all the current that goes into the motor's stator comes out stator to the Wye point. It's like a GFCI or RCI. If current going in doesn't equal current going out, there's a big problem inside of the motor, and the motor needs to be shut off.

"Pothead" still makes me giggle.

I have never heard of a switchgear pistol-grip switch referred to as a "horse cock".

Ahh, but you miss the subtle brilliance. As long as they are just sitting there like landmines with guns, they are thermally neutral and don't need the solar panels either!

Some people have problems taking statins and they don't play well with some other drugs you might be on. They're still probably a ton safer than pigging your arteries with a tiny tunnel boring machine though.

Seriously, if you even want to go down that road, a tiny version of a toilet snake operated the same way as a cardiac catheterization would probably work much better and be safer than a free floating robot.

I'm honestly a bit surprised that the person who put up the sign at the top didn't accidentally topple in while trying to stick it up.

I mean I'm just assuming they stood on the wobbliest chair they could find to reach, but I can't imagine them using anything else.
