Thermonator
Thermonator can be used for a variety of purposes: entertainment, snow and ice removal, agricultural management, etc. Despite its possibilities, many people are concerned about whether its use should be allowed because of its dangerous feature. The Thermonator is able to send streams of fire up to 30 feet for an hour. The owners control the fire throwing robot with their smartphones; the camera installed lets them see the same view as the robot. Although easy to command, it could cause irreversible disaster once it goes out of control.
