It is easy to use, and once the arms supporting the propeller are extended and fixed ...

Pour fuel into the fuel tank. The capacity of the tank is 1 gallon (about 3.8 liters), and it is capable of emitting flames for a total of 100 seconds.

After that, set the tank at the lower part of the machine ......

I just skip it.

It's like this when I actually shoot the flame. The range of flame radiation is 25 feet (about 7.62 m).

While flying, the controller camera displays the image of the aircraft camera.

The intended use is, as the name wasp, meaning hornets etc., is the

extinct bee etc.

This is a picture of actually burning the honeycomb.

The aim is quite accurate, as the fuel injection nozzle looks like an aim.

Other uses are field burning for agriculture ...

It is assumed that melting work of ice and snow.

Something like cloth is caught on the wire ...

When the drone emitted a fire, the parts entwined in the electric wire were burned and the trash fell.

It looks like the wires are safe.

The

official part of Throwflame's official site , which developed 'Throwflame TF-19 Wasp', actually sells extended parts, and the price is $ 1,499 (approximately 160,000 yen). It was also possible to ship to Japan, and the shipping cost was $ 279.29 (approximately 30,000 yen).

However, it is necessary to pay attention because the act of burning things outdoors is basically prohibited by the Law on Waste Disposal and Cleaning . In addition, even the use of the legal range can lead to serious fires and injuries. In the past, there were also cases where a man who used a handmade flamethrower unauthorizedly sent documents.
