You know a machine is fun when it gets its own lab and a big interlocked cage. Testing this week at @sheffunieng.bsky.social's Thermomechanical Compression (TMC) facility: 500kN at up to 1200C!

An attempt was then made to destroy the explosive by controlled burning, which is riskier as there is a chance of a transition to detonation. This did indeed happen, but luckily we have drone footage to see the sand enclosure in action! 💥
