Me neither, but it makes sense. I have a propane 'weed torch' around here somewhere.
I can see this working well for the high-$$ organic crops. But it needs to scale up by a couple of orders of magnitude to be useful around here. IIRC, this company had an autonomous crawler version, pair that with a Mr. Fusion and just turn it loose in the fields. Then the number of hours won't matter 'cause it is just a robot, hhh.
