Engineers from a technical university in Moscow invent a tool that will facilitate oil and gas exploration. To find these fuels they make holes 20 m deep and then launch explosives. So far, explosives were manually put into holes, but on many occasions this practice was very dangerous.

To avoid this problem, Moscow engineers have invented a cannon that directs the explosives to the epicenter of the explosion. Once the hole is made, the cannon turns to place it on the hole and throws the explosives into the hole. This way, in addition to increasing safety, you can save time and labor.
