Oxy-Acetylene Hail Cannon in country Victoria, Australia

[Clarrisani]

Where abouts in Victoria is this? I didn't even know we had them here.

@Clarrisani In the Goulburn Valley, Just out of Shepparton. They're pretty common in fruit growing areas.

What is it doing every time it makes that loud noise?

[tradward]

@oXFalconXo it's igniting with a spark and combusting. it doesnt sound loud on the vid but the boom thumps you to the bone.

[GoodrichTires]

@tradward and that loud noise is called a sonic boom

[GoodrichTires]

@oXFalconXo its firing a vortex in to the air to stop hail that's why it is called "hail cannon"
