Makerlunch Guest Massoud Hassani – Mine Kafon

Wednesday 9 December 12:30 @Makerlunch, Foundational Lab, IDE, TU Delft

Next week Wednesday Massoud Hassani will join us during the MakerLunch. His work focuses on creating a fully automated process to clear mines.

The original  Mine Kafon is a wind-powered device that is heavy enough to detonate landmines as it rolls across the ground. Massoud drew inspiration for the project from his childhood growing up on the outskirts of Kabul, where he would play amongst the minefields with homemade, wind-powered toys.

Currently, Massoud is Kickstarting a new project, in which a drone will be used to clear mines in a more structured way. More information about Mine Kafon can be found here.
