ABSTRACT:
A mine clearing device comprises a substantially hollow body forming a cavity. An eccentric ballast is disposed within the cavity and is rotated by a motor powered by an internal power source, thereby imparting rotational motion to the device. A plurality of anti-axial projections of varying lengths and sizes are mounted on the outer surface of the body to interact with the terrain and, thus, impart unbiased motion to the body as it rotates and traverses a mine field. The outer surface of the body is made of blast resistant material. A shock absorbent material, disposed within the cavity, absorbs the explosive force of mines. Circuitry or a marker substance may be used to record or mark the path traveled by the device.
