An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system energized by power lines includes a UAV, a charging mechanism and an electric circuit. The charging mechanism is operatively coupled to a body of the UAV. The charging mechanism can connect to power transmission lines deployed near an air space in which the UAV is airborne and operating. The charging mechanism can draw power from the power transmission lines to power a flight of the UAV. The electric circuit is onboard the UAV. The electric circuit can generate charging currents based on the power drawn from the power transmission lines to power the flight of the UAV while the UAV is airborne.
