Subject: Hi and a Boulder splitting question

Hi all,

Has anybody explored stuff called "silent explosives", I believe it is used
extensively for splitting boulders that get in the way of foundations.
Evidently they just drill holes and pack them full of this stuff, go away
while it does its thing and low and behold the rock is split!.

I think it works by slowly expanding sideways in the hole.

Best regards Clive
