This is a rotary-type machine “Teren” that literally breaks up the ground and simultaneously destroys explosive objects.
Our development, rolls out 10 hectares per day using conventional equipment – a tractor. The tractor works with Starlink. We have moved away from radio frequencies, because they are jammed by electronic warfare.
The rotor rotates from the side and the field is rolled out in a circle without stopping. There is no need to waste time turning the equipment.
This technique does not destroy ammunition, but picks it up, which is important from an ecological point of view. 900 hectares of land have already been cleared with the help of the invention. The installation is inexpensive and can demine up to 10 hectares per day.
We have developed a technology for humanitarian demining using a shock wave from a controlled explosion, which is used in the operation of a mobile complex for humanitarian demining.
The mobile complex is a mixer of components, 90% of which is ammonium nitrate, which has been a generally recognized fertilizer for agriculture for decades, and 10% of environmentally friendly additives, the main part of which is a leavening agent. The result of mixing is an environmentally friendly explosive – liquid explosive foam. This foam is formed in the form of a pipe using polyethylene film into a 200-meter pipe, which is then blown up using a detonator.
When such a “pipe” is blown up, a flat shock wave is formed that detonates any explosive device, from the smallest “petal” mine to an anti-tank mine.
The machine produces foam right at the demining site. The diameter of the “pipe” with foam is 25 cm. It turns out that the specific gravity of this foam is 600 kg per cubic meter. During the explosion, a flat shock wave is created in both directions, it creates a pressure of 120 to 160 bar on any explosive device with a push-action mechanism. This means that any mine in the area of action of this wave will detonate, of course, if its detonator is cocked and in working condition. Thus, an area of 2 hectares is cleared in one controlled explosion.
After the explosion, it remains to collect from the field the film into which the foam was formed. The explosive itself is actually converted into fertilizer for the soil.
You can help demining Ukraine and save people’s lives in one click.
At present, about 200,000 square kilometers have been mined in Ukraine. People cannot move freely through territories, forests, parks, because mines are everywhere.
By planting trees together with us, you speed up demining because a part of the funds from each tree goes to purchase a machine that clears the territory.
Without specialized equipment, demining will take at least 260 years (see table).
During the spring 2023 – spring 2024 season, we collected UAH 439,000, which we transferred to the development of a new mobile automatic (remotely controlled) demining machine. We had to develop a local alternative as foreign ones do not meet all the requirments and are very costy.
By making a donation to our project, you agree to their redistribution/use in other projects (for example, changing the purpose of fundrising from “demining machine” to “demining robot
The development of the machine lasted from May to the end of July 2024. Now, in August 2024, it is submitted for testing by the State Emergency Service. All materials of its appearance, places of development still remain strictly confidential. As soon as the car is accepted by the employees of the State Emergency Service, we will be able to officially publish it and report it to you.
If we have leftover on the sums collected, e.g. it was not enough to order new robotics machine, we will transfer the amount to existing deminig funds, who collect for amunition and will publish the receipts here.
We also have an open fund collection for a large mechanized demining machine “GCS-200”. The price of such a car in the minimum configuration is 1,000,000 million euros
Due to the fact that such an amount is collected very slowly by our efforts, we have informed that we will be able to collect it only in cooperation, which can bring a donation amount of at least 10% of the total amount of the machine. And if we can plan 10 such collaborations with different companies (or with one) within next 2 years. Please, check with us on it.
The more you plant, the more you demine. Thanks to you, trees will grow in forests instead of mines, and children will be able to enjoy nature in safety again!
