Sebastian Elbaum (from left), Dirac Twidwell and Carrick Detweiler have developed a patent for setting range fires with small drones. The drone injects a liquid into plastic spheres to start a delayed fiery process that allows the balls to fall to the ground before igniting. Elbaum and Detweiler are holding flaming tennis balls similar to those carried by the drones.
