Thanks to the Throwflame company, no longer will the backyard mad scientists have to rig up their own flying fire gun. Their TF-19 Flamethrower drone attachments fasten securely onto your drone.
The TF-19 WASP is a drone flamethrower attachment designed for remote ignition of aerial and ground targets, bringing new levels of efficiency and manageability to agriculture,” the company’s website reads.
At $1,499, the 4-pound apparatus has a one-gallon tank that allows for about a minute and a half of firing time, and can reach up to 25 feet. It works on drone platforms with a capacity of at least 5 pounds, or you can purchase a complete set through the company.
The website goes on to note that they are indeed legal, but users must “comply with the FAA’s UAS rules in addition to local ordinances,” with a link to the Federal Aviation Administration’s guidelines.
