Afghan Harnesses Wind For Landmine Detonation
You might think brothers Massoud and Mahmud Hassani are working on a modern art installation. In fact they're fitting a 40 dollar landmine detonating device. The Afghan siblings say Mine Kafon - which means Mine Detector in the Dari language - offers a low-cost solution to deactivating deadly mines hidden in the ground in war zones. (Natsot - boom) They've produced dozens of the devices, made almost entirely from bamboo and biodegradable plastics.
