The Mine Kafon Drone Can Identify and Detonate Land Mines

The Mine Kafon Drone (MKD) is an autonomous device capable of mapping, detecting, and ultimately detonating land mines.

While there are an estimated 100 million lands mines around the globe, the creators behind the Mine Kafon Drone believe its possible to rid the world of these deadly land mines in approximately 10 years’ time.

Designed by Netherlands-based Massoud Hassani, the Mine Kafon Drone works autonomously and utilizes three separate interchangeable robotic extensions in order to detect and detonate land mines from a safe distance.

Thanks to GPS waypoints, the Mine Kafon Drone can can hover over mine locations and then release a detonator with a timer that can dispose of the deadly land mines.

I highly suggest checking out the MKD Kickstarter page and at least reading more about its mission to rid the world of land mines that are currently hidden beneath the sands in 60 countries around the world.

A Guide to Purchasing Inconel: Tips and Considerations

Inconel® is a family of nickel-chromium superalloys known for high strength, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. Well-suited to demanding applications, Inconel alloys typically comprise 50–70% nickel, 15–25% chromium, and other elements such as iron, cobalt, molybdenum, and tungsten. The specific composition of an Inconel alloy depends on its intended applicati

3D-Printed Metal Matrix Composite Could Boost High-Temperature Aerospace Components

A research team at the University of Toronto has created a metal matrix composite that stays light, strong, and stable at temperatures where most aluminum alloys fail. The material is produced through a combination of laser-based additive manufacturing and micro-casting, giving it a reinforced-concrete-like architecture on a microscopic scale. That structure delivers strength at both ambient and e
