ABSTRACT:
A mine clearing device has an outer body forming a cavity capable of holding a pressurized substance, a conduit in the outer surface for expelling the pressurized substance from the body to thereby cause the device to rotate and traverse a mine field, and a plurality of anti-axial projections on the surface of the outer body that interact with the terrain to impart unbiased motion to the body as it rotates. A regulator controls the flow of the substance and a nozzle directs it as it exits the conduit. The outer body is made of blast resistant material. A shock absorbent material, disposed within the shell, absorbs the explosive force of mines. Circuitry or a marker substance may be used to record the position of the device.
