February 9, 2015: Jet plow



English Russia points out that the Ruskies have developed this super-effective system for plowing airport runways.



It is what you think it is! A jet engine mounted to the front of a truck. They call it the "Gorinich", a fire-breathing dragon. This can't be an economical or environmentally-friendly way to get the ice off runways, but they say it works really well. I guess! I wish we had pics of it in operation.

Below is the tanker that carries enough fuel to get you partway across the world... or to clean your driveway in 2 seconds.
