Flame-throwing dog?
When you think of a "flame-throwing dog," do you imagine a dog breathing fire (like a dragon) or a dog using a flamethrower?
Meet Thermonator, a robot dog that’s fitted with a flamethrower. It has been created by Throwflame, a US company.
Wow! What can it do?
The Thermonator can be controlled using a remote. It can shoot flames up to 30 feet and has a one-hour battery life.
It can be used for various tasks, like clearing snow and ice, burning fields to clear old plants and controlling pests. Pests won’t survive getting burned!
These tasks can be carried out safely using the remote-controlled dog. Such a cool technology, right? The company has made the robot dog available for purchase.
Concerns raised regarding the Thermonator.
The Thermonator's ability to shoot flames raises safety concerns, especially in crowded areas or near flammable items. Accidental use could cause damage or injury.
What if people use it to harm others? The possibility of using the robot dog to injure others is a serious worry. So, certain rules need to be established first for its usage.
