A Bolivian man has made his own drone by using mostly recycled materials which he picked up from flea markets.
Alex Chipana's small drone with four propellers can fly for as long as 20 minutes, as high as 1.2 miles and as fast at 43 mph, the New York Daily News reported.
Chipana bought his own motor, camera and GPS but found the rest of the parts at flea markets and other places and fit the pieces into his own design.
Some of these "valuable" items include wood, pieces of a pen, and a cap from a deodorant or perfume bottle.
The inventor thinks these inexpensive drones would make the technology available to the public in Bolivia and be used for aerial crop management and connecting isolated communities to the Internet.
