You can now buy a flamethrower to attach to your drone for $1,500
The TF-19 WASP is a powerful flamethrower you can attach to an existing drone to "instantly deliver precision streams of fire" up in the sky, Throwflame says in its video.
The TF-19 WASP can shoot flames up to 25 ft away, and has a one-gallon fuel capacity. The flamethrower has more than a minute and a half of "continuous firing time."
Throwflame envisions the flamethrower drone being used for tasks such as "clearing vital infrastructure, igniting remote vegetation, and eliminating pests."
In the past, flamethrowing drones have been filmed burning off garbage and debris from electrical wires.
The design of the TF-19 WASP attachment makes refueling as simple as screwing and unscrewing the nozzle for the fuel tank.
The flamethrower attachment can be used with any drone that has a payload capacity— how much weight the drone can hold — of 5 pounds or more. In the video, the TF-19 WASP is attached to a DJI S1000 octocopter drone, which sells for $1,500.
The DJI S1000 drone goes for $1,500 on websites like eBay and in stores such as B&H.
Using a drone like the DJI S100 gives you the ability to attach a camera on top, which produces scary views like this of flames shooting from the TF-19 WASP.
The TF-19 WASP flamethrower has apparently gotten a lot of attention since it was released earlier this month. The drone attachment is already on backorder, and Throwflame says it could take four to six weeks for your delivery to be processed.
