After Musk came up with the flamethrower, even robot dogs have learned to breathe fire.

Stand up, aim, breathe fire, complete a whole set of movements in one go--

Not only that, you can even "tap dance" while breathing fire:

This magical video quickly gained 7000 + popularity on Reddit, with netizens making fun of:

Thank you for reminding me to review the Black Mirror.

Another netizen suggested changing his name to Hot Dog: "I know someone must call him that."

So, what does this "hot dog" look like?

What does a fire-breathing robot dog look like? The fire-breathing robot dog is Thermonator, from a company called ThrowFlame.

According to the official website, its weight is about 16kg (37lbs) and the size is about 76 × 51 × 51 cm (30 × 20 × 20in).

But after all, ThrowFlame's main job is flamethrower, which "can be used for snow melting and pest control", so this flamethrower robot dog is actually a combination of flamethrower and robot dog, and the robot dog should not use its own product.

According to Gizmodo, in terms of appearance, the "reference example" of the robot dog is not Boston Dynamics's Spot, but Yushu's Go 1.

The flamethrower, filled with a mixture of diesel or gasoline, can shoot 30 feet of flame continuously for 45 minutes, combined with its largest battery, according to the US shopping website Uncrate.

The fire-breathing robot dog is not yet on sale, and the launch date is expected to be around Q3 in 2023, with about three months to go at the latest, according to the official website.

But for the time being, you can refer to the combination price of flamethrower and robot dog. According to the official website, the price of the Yushu Go 1 robot dog is as low as 16000 yuan, and the price of the ThrowFlame flamethrower is $699,899 (about 5k~6.4k yuan), which adds up to more than 20, 000 yuan.

Seeing this fire-breathing robot dog, some netizens were afraid:

We are in trouble when machines do not have to rely on humans to mine minerals, build machines, and build electronics.

However, some netizens joked that the fire-breathing robot dog was not so scary:

Don't be afraid, I have copied a version of "tears of the Kingdom", and until the battery runs out, only three bokbrins have been killed.

One More Thing, of course, is not just ThrowFlame.

Also in the Q3 quarter of 2023, Musk's SpaceX company will launch a "Starship Torch" (Starship Torch), priced at $175 (about 1260 yuan) on its website.

According to reports, the torch restores the starship shape with a ratio of 1RV 200, which is a bit like a peripheral model officially launched by SpaceX.

Of course, this is not the first product made by Musk's company that can shoot flames.

Back in 2018, Musk created a flamethrower to raise money for a tunnel for his boring company (The Boring Company), which was limited to 20000 units at a price of $500. it sold out in four days.

It's just that the flamethrower couldn't barbecue meat or marshmallows at that time, and the marshmallows blackened as soon as the flame came out.

Now, SpaceX launched this new Spitfire product, the official stressed that "you can rest assured to roast steak."
