Acoustical TDR for characterizing conduits.  Best to know what it looks like 
before you try to blow something through it.

What's this for anyway? 


Big sharp noise through a pipe is what I believe you said you wanted.....but 
what is the purpose?

I suppose a gunshot sounds sharp in human terms, but it's really rapidly 
expanding gasses being released.  In hindsight it makes sense that there would 
be an initial burst followed by diminishing secondary noises.  If that's an 
issue, then aren't echoes in the pipe an issue too? I don't see how you would 
avoid the echoes.

  Seems gunshots are not a sharp impulse.  Just a burst of noise I have 
discovered.  No where near a perfect impulse.
  So having fun and probably scaring people driving up the highway but on a 
quest for a high quality shock wave/sound impulse.  
  Recording engineers use balloons and clappers.  

  I have a high power speaker driver coming.  Going to see what happens when I 
get close to blowing it out with a capacitor discharge.
