Wat does it do then

It goes "bang" or, if embedded in a large diameter pipe, "whump". It can also be modified to spray gore or brains or whatever on command. Done wrong, it can also explode into small bits of lethal shrapnel, to take care.

Its not that complicated, just need to know how it works and then you could easily build one.
And to the maker of the vid, you used DWV in the tee.
I may be wrong because some tees look like that and are pressure rated but check. And if it is then replace it or you can keep useing it but your life will be at risk, no joke

It is a smidgen complicated, but no one piece of it is hard, there are just a lot of pieces.
I used DWV in the big Tee, but the tee is not itself pressurized. The pressure is held through the tee by other pieces of pipe, all of which are schedule 40, and my working pressure is 40psi.

Just because its SCH-40 doesn't mean that its pressure rated. Unless it actually has a pressure rating on there in PSI, its not pressure rated.

Sch-40 is mostly a size specification, true; diameter and wall thickness. It should be marked with its ASTM code, and a variety of ratings including pressure.
Sch-40 for water supply use, however, is all going to be roughly the same because of the demands of that use. Have to be careful to avoid the Drain/Vent stuff (which is a different schedule usually) and the foam-core stuff.

OH, and an addendum, PVC is not rated for _air_ use regardless; all PVC pressure ratings are for water, and any use with air is heavily discouraged and generally unsafe.
