Also, these fire weapons are used for destroying large wasp nests, and thanks to the head of Tesla and , more recently, of steel . But how to make flamethrowers are even more dangerous and useful? Correctly — to install them on unmanned drones with remote control.
It is considered an American company Throwflame, which has developed a lightweight, compact thrower that can be attached to almost any unmanned.

The volume of the tank for the flammable substance is 3.78 liters, which is enough for 1.5 minutes, continuous feeding of fire. Thanks installed on unmanned vehicles cameras, the owners of flying flamethrowers will be able to get right on target.
Flamethrower is created from the maximum of lightweight materials and weighs just 1.8 pounds. It can be installed on virtually any drone, but the developers recommend the use of a model called the DJI S1000 — it is equipped with eight propellers and can lift heavy loads, but it costs more than 200 000. However, sales there are models cheaper, which is also equipped with a large number of screws and can lift loads weighing up to 2.2 kilograms.
