Mine Kafon

I found this odd-looking piece of technology to be pretty interesting. It's basically a giant, electronic tumbleweed that is used to detonate land mines. It's made primarily of bamboo and biodegradable plastics, but also contains a GPS in the center of it. Attached to the bamboo reeds are those spiky, plunger-looking objects that will activate mines as it rolls over them. The structure isn't harmed by the mines and is light enough to be moved by a small breeze.
