So Who Knows The Answer To This Question?
ok here is the problem. i have a very large boulder in my driveway that i want gone. i have a med size old backhoe but it can not move it. i have tried a 110v jackhammer , pounding it with a sledge hammer , driving a steel wedge into a crack , air chissel and nothing seems to work...then i was thinking about the rocks around my fire pit how they are all cracking from the heat of the bonfires...if i get a torpeido heater and heat the rock up super hot and they dump a cooler of ice water or hit it with a co2 fire ext. do yas thing it would break it?.....or do you have another way to break it?
|
I don't think heating it would be feasible....I would try drilling it and use maybe gunpowder and a fuse and blast it apart. That would be more fun than a heater or jackhammer....:j:
Can you not winch it up on a trailer? |
That doesn't even sound like a safe idea at all...I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that thing when you dump ice water on it.
|
cant blast it too close to the house...cant winch it its too heavy...
|
yeah if that thing's even slightly porous and you heat it/cool it like that you're gonna have one hell of an explosion and in the need for 6 pall bearers. if it's that big and that heavy you got issue for sure. maybe use backhoe to dig a pit and then dig under the rock so it falls in the pit. cover it up and be done.

How big is this rock anyway? How tall is it? |
Ya got a Cummins man......throw a big ol chain around it and drag it in front of your neighbours place.

When i say blast it, i aint talking about using a suitcase full of C4 and sending pieces of it into orbit... just a small explosion in the drilled out center can fracture it where it will seperate.
Park your Dodge between it and the house when you light it off... |
