Massound Hassani, grew up in Kabul Afghanistan.
Afghanistan as you can imagine is a massive desert. He and his brother would make wind powered toys to pass the time in the desert.
Now Massound is an adult. He ended up catching a lucky break and was able to move to the Netherlands where he received his education. Now he is a designer.
The multiple armies that have invaded Afghanistan over the decades placed thousands of land mines around Kabul. Everyone in Kabul has been touch in some way by the devastating power of a land mine.
Masound has taken what he learned as a child to devise mine detecting tumbleweed. These tumbleweeds are inexpensive and use innovative materials to help people clear mine fields.
They are large tumbleweeds with bamboo for legs. The devices are light enough to be moved by the wind, but still have enough weight to set off a mine.
He calls his invention, the Mine Kafon.
