  • Hi my Friends, today a Friend assistated How to make video. This is how to break the rock/stone easy way, anyway do not try this at home, some knowledge needed to do this. My Friend do a cave work as his hobby and he uses this method in caves to open a cave corridors and I find it interesting as I have a lot of big stones all around so I ask him to work with me on this project. Enjoy this video and if you like it than share/like/subscribe.

    There is one serious design flaw with this device: Once you own one, you will get an uncontrollable urge to demolish every single rock in a large radius around your workshop. I doubt there is a single rock left, larger than a foot across, within a five mile radius of where those guys live.

    Over 30 years ago , my Father & I, were removing from the garden a large wedge shaped section of the garden to build a car port. We found a large rock that was about 2 meters in diameter. We had drilled about 20 holes in it to try to split it. We put in steel pins at try to burst it and hit them with hammers, that didn't work. We were working on it early on a Sunday morning , when my Grandfather turned up with a shotgun shell, he had replaced the shots with a single lead shot. We drilled one hole out a bit larger and put the shell in it , he then hit the shell with a hammer and the blast split the rock. Shortly the neighbors were out of their houses wondering what the load bang was. We said it was the rock splitting.

    As a kid of 10 in the seventies my uncle and grandpa taught me alot about explosives,How to shoot, hunt fish,and fire a howitzer etc, all the things a kid needs to know.
    My uncle, ex military and a miner, showed me how mining worked by doing exactly what this guy is doing, exactly!
    Years later a good mate bought a remote property somewhere in Australia. He wanted to build a small house in one of the cragy areas.
    We,he, I and numerous good mates, have built a 6 bedroom 3 story house / Cave. We kinda upscaled this technique a 'little bit ', just a tad.

    Clever... But next time, draw a line on the rock or concrete, and take your hammer, and hit the rock on the line, starting at one end, work your way to the other end. These hammer hits do not need to be hard and heavy hits, just many of them... When the sound changes from higher pitched "PING", to a "THUD", give one last hard and heavy hit with the hammer, at the opposite end your last hit was that you heard the sound change to a "THUD", and hit right on the line, and the rock or concrete with fracture right along that line. Often times, the fracture line will appear as if it was cut with a machine, due to how flat it is, not always, bit often... The thicker the material is that you are trying to fracture, the longer the tapping will take. A 3 foot thick by 10 foot long slab of concrete, may take 5 to 10 minutes to split down that fracture line. The harder the rock material, the faster the fracture line works.. Good luck...

    Use eye and face protection. Drill holes in a line along or with the grain of stone.(looks like wood grain only less obvious) get oak or ash dowels and insert them into holes they should be tight and have to be tapped in. Soak tapped in dowels with water. Let wet sponges rest over holes. Works faster when temp gets freezing at night/day.

    The top of a BIG rock was sticking up out of the ground in the bottom of the hole where my septic tank was to go. I hammer-drilled a series of holes a few inches apart around the perimeter of the rock-top at the dirt level. Then I hammer-drilled two larger holes (1/2" x 4" deep) straight down from the top. I blew the dust out of the holes like in this video. Then I put a fuse in each hole and packed 100 grains of black powder in each hole. The two fuses were exactly the same length. I filled the holes to the top with sand. I put an upsidedown wash basin over the rock with cast iron weights on top. I twisted the fuses together and lit them and climbed the ladder out of the hole quickly. After it blew, the wash basin was shredded and the top of the rock was blown clean off, flush with the ground. Not the easy way but it was fun and it worked.

    I had to chuckle a little bit when "the easy way" entails owning machining equipment and fabricating the tool first. That said, a single .22 will drive a nail in concrete, so the power is there to be exploited.
    I like the idea of the weight that the charge cannot overcome as a breech block. Your guards seem completely workable to me.
    It does not look very controllable as to what breaks where from what I could see. Pretty cool.

      Закалить пруток можно и нагревая его в костре, закаливать в любом старом машинном масле или растительном масле. Возьмите пружину или торсион 8 мм. От старого автомобильного амортизатора например 2евро.
      Болванку (утяжилитель, груз) можно сделать из кувалды или залить свинцом банку и закрепить на прутке обычными хомутами. Это груз чтоб при отдаче не улетал штырь ( пруток), как снаряд.
      You can temper the rod by heating it in a fire, temper it in any old engine oil or vegetable oil. Take a spring or torsion bar of 8 mm. From an old car shock absorber, for example, the price is 2 euros.
      A blank (weighting, load) can be made from a sledgehammer or pour lead into a jar and fix it on a rod with ordinary clamps. This is a load so that the pin (rod) does not fly away like a projectile when recoiling.

      This is ONE way, reasonably easy but not necessarily the cheapest or the safest option. Use a larger drill bit (12 to 20mm, the larger the better but depends what your tool can handle), than insert a dry wooden stick of the exact same diameter into the hole and start pouring water on top of it. It takes a while but it will eventually split the boulder.

      Yes, it is a .22 cal blank, … and it is the percussion from the cap that will break the rock, … having a good, concrete, rock bit is essential, but one need not necessarily have to drill that deep into the boulder, as if after the shells are placed, place a straw, or some type of flexible tube, down into the hole, fill it with water, & place some type of an insulating accouterment in the path of the blast, … that rock will split just like a jeweler cutting diamonds, … they use a “face drill” in the underground coal mines, then tamp the explosive, into place, & then fill the balance of the depth of the hole with a flex bag, and fill it with water, tamp it in tighter, then blast, … the whole “face” of the wall will shatter, then they come in with the mining loader, which claws pretty much everything up off of the floor in front of the face, & then loads it onto a loader transport, … or they buy a miner which hydraulically removes the face, with either a ball type miner, or a drum type miner, … it has the crab claws that rake everything into the back of the mining machine’s container until a loader gets there, a good miner operator can make anywhere between 15, to 70 feet into the face each day, if there is a loader ready to get into position, a few minutes after the previous loader leaves, … depending upon the type of strata they are removing, … then, there is also a short wall miner operation, where the roof, of the mine, is allowed to collapse in behind itself as they mine through while following a vein of whatever ore they are attempting to remove, … it is all, very, very, dangerous/hazardous work, … and more miners have been killed, over the eons, than any other trade, … I would surmise, because the planet is not so hospitable to those looking to disturb Momma Nature’s disposition’s, … breaking rock, depends on its composition, hardness factors, & the locations where you are trying to extract it from, … such as the permafrost areas in the far north of our planet, where methane is being released due to global warming, … of which I do believe that mankind has had a larger part in the resurgence of warming our planet by our movement towards progress, ever forward, yet losing the planet over a few inches of progress is most disturbing, … perhaps, one day our governments will ban all activities regarding the use of any types of fossil fuels, and restrain mining operations to the untold numbers of asteroids in space, … bringing only the proper types of ores in/around our planet, until they could fully make all operations deplorable in space, …

    But then again, it’s much easier to use the 10,000 year old “hole wit rock splitting wedges” way, or gunpowder, wadding, and fuse way…

    interesting. I have spent hundreds of hours splitting rock with drilling and wedges/feathers it works ok for a small boulder but a larger boulder needs say 3 drillings and you can lose the wedges in the rubble. But if drilling granite that is not a separate boulder you can spend hours trying to rescue the feathers when the rock does not fully split.

    • @UpcomingJedi
      @UpcomingJedi 2 года назад +1

      To help not lose your wedges, paint them with flourescent paint so you can find them easily. Then after every break, account for your tools each time before someone distracts you and you forget to find them.

    I heard about a similar technique, I was afraid to try it because one of his friends nearly lost a hand (major injury). I don't remember exactly how they were doing it, but you're improvised blast shield looks pretty effective and safe.
    I prefer to use more gun powder and be far away from the blast. I'm doing it in a cave, so I'm more nervous about the surrounding rocks moving.

Just setup the steel dovel, build frame you can setup accurately on the ground and then ether just release sledge that is mounted on bearings, or for repeated hits build pulley system that allows you to reset the sledge after each time it hits. That weight on the dovel is pretty required or you turn this into improvised mortar and might shoot the dovel out, then again rock is out to give up before "chamber" pressure get high enough to get that steel rod moving. For bigger bangs maybe 9mm version, though getting hit into primer might be issue.
