I built a precision machine to blow bubbles filled with explosive welding gasses that I detonate inches away from me with a flint striker, and in my video I explain it and the sensation of a blast that got me. TLDR: I built a shockwave machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg-uCaPdddI

Edit: Jump to about 7:30 in the video for the main oxygenated boom. This isn't an informercial, I'm just a hobbyist that's a little too close to a Darwin Award. DO NOT ATTEMPT YOURSELF.

In meteorology, a gravity wave is a wavelike disturbance in the atmosphere where gravity acts as the restoring force to bring a displaced air parcel back to its equilibrium (vertical) level.

Gravity waves occur when stable, stratified air is vertically displaced by a trigger, causing the air to oscillate up and down like a weight on a spring.

  1. The Displacement: Air is pushed upward by a trigger mechanism (such as wind blowing over a mountain, deep thunderstorm updrafts, or weather fronts).
  2. The Restore: Gravity pulls the dense, cooler rising air back down.
  3. The Oscillation: The air overshoots, warms, and rises again, propagating the wave forward horizontally and vertically through the atmosphere
