Excavation for the Trickhart’s basement began yesterday.
Armed with an issue of the “Journal of Mining Science”, Nobert decided to save money by doing the excavation himself.
The journal describes two necessary equations used for compressed volatile explosives detonation. The “2-D inviscid flow equation of mass, motion and energy conservation”, and the “isentropic JWL equation of adiabatic expansion of the detonation product”. There was also some pesky scientific jargon regarding aqueous dissolution rates and geological surveys - all of which Nobert interpreted as:
Ignite 20 pounds of gasoline-soaked gun powder in a sealed Tupperware bowl.
The resulting explosion seared the paint off the south side of my home, blew out three windows, and caused significant structural damage to my roof (See photo above). The magnitude of the blast was so intense that debris particles were still falling from the sky nine minutes after detonation.
Apparently Nobert’s basement is to be crater-shaped.

Ouch. Just found you and Norber's blogs. I am strangely fascinated by this saga.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I done used 35 pounds of black powder, do to the 9 foot ceeling height we's wantin'. And you think this one did some damage, just wait until I makes the whole for the ceement pond.
