Luke Maximo Bell — I Built a 100% Solar Powered Drone - Will It Fly? (YouTube video)
A quadcopter running just off of on-board solar panels. Not sure he ever gets it out of ground effect, but still pretty darned impressive. At the end of the video he says that he wants to do more panels and break the record for longest flying drone, which I'm looking forward to.
