A couple days ago I was using the website
StumbleUpon, and it produced a video for me that I found really neat. It was about a life-saving device called the Mine Kafon. See the blog devoted to it
here.
The device, which is made of bamboo, steel and plastic, is designed to roll across mine fields, safely detonating mines as it goes. The style of the design makes it possible to blow multiple mines in one go, because a single blast will only destroy 1-2 arms. The designer, Massoud Hassani, grew up in Qasaba, Kabul, and was inspired by some of the wind powered toys that he and his friends used to play with.
