The American company Throwflame announced the launch of its most recent product, the Thermonator, a robot equipped with an integrated launcher, which is already being marketed in the USA.
Imagine a dog-shaped robot capable of shooting flames up to 9 meters away. Well, the American company Throwflame has turned that idea into reality with the Thermonator. This four-legged robot, powered by a gasoline tank and equipped with ARC ignition, can be remotely controlled and even has laser aiming for greater precision.
In addition, the Thermonator comes equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for smartphone control, offering even a first-person view for navigation. With a LiDAR sensor, it can detect obstacles and identify targets, becoming a versatile tool in various situations.
Although it may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, the Thermonator is a reality and is already available for purchase in the United States. The company suggests a variety of uses for the robot, including wildfire control, agriculture, environmental conservation, ice and snow removal, as well as entertainment and special effects.
The price of the Thermonator is $9,420 and is subject to different state regulations in the US. While most states do not have specific restrictions for flamethrowers, California and Maryland have their own policies, with range limitations and licensing requirements.

Conspiracy theories are speculations that are not based on scientific evidence. They can be fun to read, but it is important to remember that they are not necessarily true. Before proving any conspiracy theory, it is important to do your own research and evaluate the evidence. It is also important to note that conspiracy theories can be used to spread misinformation and harm people.
