Video Shows Huge Drone Descending on Unsuspecting Dog and Blasting It With Water
"Nothing in millions of years of evolution has prepared this dog for this scenario." The post Video Shows Huge Drone Descending on Unsuspecting Dog and Blasting It With Water appeared first on Futurism .
A video has surfaced online, showcasing a colossal drone hovering above a dog and spraying it with water, leaving viewers divided in their reactions. The footage, believed to have been shot in Linyi, Shandong Province, China, depicts the drone, equipped with hose attachments, hovering menacingly over the canine before dousing it with water. The dog, seemingly undeterred by the ordeal, wags its tail and then proceeds to shake off the excess moisture before walking away unscathed.
The event was staged by a local tech firm in Linyi, Shandong Province, showcasing the functionalities of their latest invention: a solar panel-cleaning drone. The video has sparked a wide range of reactions on social media, with some finding the clip amusing and others speculating on the potential dystopian implications. One Reddit user quipped, "Nothing in millions of years of evolution has prepared this dog for this scenario," while another pondered the possibility of using such technology for crowd control with tear gas.
Spectee, a video aggregator, reported that the demonstration was conducted by an undisclosed Chinese company specializing in drones designed to clean solar panels. However, the authenticity of the video source remains unverified. China, being the world's leading solar energy producer, boasts an impressive 1,300 gigawatts of solar capacity.
The country's largest solar farm, situated on the Tibetan Plateau, spans over 162 square miles. To maintain such a vast infrastructure, innovative solutions like robotic panel cleaners have emerged, with some cities employing these machines to clean rooftops. Scientists are also working on self-cleaning coatings for solar panels to minimize maintenance efforts.
The question remains: is deploying a swarm of drones to wash solar panels the most practical approach, or does it represent a wasteful use of water? If drones could eventually be repurposed for on-demand dog showers, the tradeoff might be deemed worthwhile.
