Quote:
Mine Kafon is a revolutionary landmine clearer/detonator that is very cheap to make, and could save many lives, not only in Afghanistan, but any other country which may be troubled by landmines. The Mine Kafon rolls around powered by wind rolling over and detonating deadly land mines. Made simply of bamboo, iron and plastic, each one is relatively cheap to produce and can clear up to four bombs before being destroyed themselves. Each Mine Kafon will have a GPS tracking device linked to a website to show which areas have been cleared. The Mine Kafon is the brainchild of Massoud Hassani, who at the age of 14 fled war-torn Afghanistan, where there are more landmines than people.
