Another load of wood waste is dropped into the 46th Test Wing's new air curtain incinerator Oct. 31, 2010, at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The air burner destroys test materials used to detect direction and velocity of bomb explosion fragments. The burner consumes massive amounts of the wood waste quickly and minimizes the amount of pollutants released. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
