The advantage of getting a machine to do the flinging is, it can be done remotely - you don't want cells exploding like grenades in your face while you attempt to shovel the flaming and disintegrating battery outside like this poor guy in the video below - I bet he wishes he'd had a Flaming Ebike Fire Flinger! His kids wouldn't need pills to deal with the trauma of surviving the experience and his family would still have a house to live in. I also bet he'd have preferred his neighbours car burned to a crisp instead of his family's home and belongings. It's all very well saying we must be awake while charging, but there's got to be a better plan than to charge while awake so we can run for our lives to watch our homes and belongings burn from a safe distance, should the very extremely unlikely ever happen. Fling the damn fire out!
'It took the fire brigades five minutes and the house had gone': How a family lost everything after e-bike battery exploded
Andrew Beaton describes the harrowing moment the e-bike's battery of his son 'exploded like grenade' while charging and destroyed their family home. It's the latest case of a house fire linked to an e-bike or e-scooter battery, and the government is facing calls for more regulation.

My power supply is only 2A - so unless I add wings, propeller and radio control, I expect about 1ft flinging distance... which would be far enough for the boxed flaming battery to fall into a water butt under the window. Or into a pre-dug hole to be covered by an automated soil flinging escooter. The lesser evil and personal inconvenience and cost to myself, of setting my neighbour's car ablaze would require illegal derestriction of the escooter (might not be illegal if used in private airspace), a 300A power supply, and a second escooter to fling out the first, when it's motor bursts into flames after it's flung out the flaming battery 50ft. Still, it's good repurposing for otherwise dangerous and utterly useless escooters. I've sent blueprints to Zelensky, which might be intercepted by the Russians. It could win the war.
