AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The aerial clearance system can make harmful devices self-destruct and can also reveal any harmful device visually. It is designed to minimize damage caused by blast and reduce the cost of repairs compared to present ones. The system is safe for operators and doesn't cause any physical or mental damage. The patent describes different arrangements of the system using fan-housing-drag chains and housing-drag balls. The ultimate version is a combination of both arrangements.

Problems solved by technology

This aerial clearance system can, nearly one hundred percent of the time, cause harmful land devices to self-destruct and the other very, very small percentage of the time will visibly reveal any harmful device.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]An aerial clearance system for hidden harmful land devices is comprised of a physical structure and an electrical system.

[0026]FIG. 1 is a front view of a version that is mainly for roadways RW, it drags several chains 12 along a roadway RW and sends a strong forced airflow AF onto the roadway RW. This physical structure 10 can be carried by a medium-sized helicopter MH. The physical structure 10 has three electric motor 30—vanes housing 37 assemblies. They are supported by a center upper line 20 and its branches 20A, 20B, and 20C, and stabilized by two upper side lines 22A and 22B.

[0027]FIG. 2 is an enlarged top view of the three electric motor 30—vanes housing 37 assembles. The upper holding rings 32—shown enlarged in FIG. 3—and the chains 12 and upper lines 20, 20A, 20B, 20C, 22A, and 22B are omitted in this view for clarity. The motors 30 are held together by connecting bars 36, their ends are welded to the motors 30 or screwed into the motors 30. The motors 30 are mounted...

Abstract

This apparatus is for the destruction of land mines, improvised explosive devices and mechanical booby traps by creating strong forces on the ground. The apparatus comprises a physical structure having an electric motor-vanes housing assembly, that is connected to an electrical system. The electrical system comprises a portable control panel and a portable power supply. Undiscovered land mines pose problems for many countries of the world.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]I am told that at the rate that the government and nongovernmental organizations are clearing landmines it will take 450-500 years to rid the world of them—and that's just if no more are placed. However, when a serious conflict breaks out the U.S. Military is in need of a way to clear mines and IEDs, fast, economically and accurately. The invention could also speed up the humanitarian de-mining effort worldwide.[0002]The countries of Canada and Mexico, for example, do not have the problem of landmines at all. Therefore, strategy is very important in facing this worldwide problem. It is a problem in many areas of the world where fighting has taken place. These areas should be located and recorded. Undiscovered mines pose problems for countries that need to reclaim as much land as possible for agricultural purposes.[0003]There are many devices, methods, and equipment for the detection or clearance of IEDs and landmines. The following are a few examples...
