For cleaning high-voltage overhead power lines dangling from the debris the Chinese have created a drone equipped with a portable flamethrower.

Chinese engineers have created a drone, equipped with a flamethrower. It is designed for cleaning debris hanging on power lines. In the network appeared the first live test of the air of an arsonist.

On a high power line, the wind often throws debris. Most often it is plastic bags, various packaging. In order to remove it, usually using a car-rig. The problem was, each bringing the aerial platforms into working condition is very time consuming, which negatively affects the efficiency of the crews cleaning debris.

To improve the performance of this process in the district Xiangyang hosted the first test of a drone-flamer for quick cleaning dangling on wires debris.

In the video you can see that for the tests were taken modified oktokopter.

DJI S1000+ is capable of lifting up to 11 pounds of cargo. On it was mounted a small flamethrower to ignite the bags and rags. It is obvious that the use of “flying fire shooter” only on the high lines, as the wires to them without insulation.

It is not known whether adopted by the flying “dragon” to work or will remain a prototype. But it looks very impressive.
