Even I want to iron it

I think a spark transmitter will broadcast over quite a wide section of the radio spectrum. Everyone will get a bit 🙂

I once saw a demonstration (I think on TV) of an anvil which was turned upside down to expose a recess in its base about 2ins square by a half inch deep. This was filled with black powder and another anvil placed on top with a fuse to set it off.

Bearing in mind the anvil weighed around 50kg, when the charge was fired it shot it around 100 feet into the air. Some kick:eek:

Anvil firing – another quaint colonial tradition. Quite a few videos on Youtube
