Add this to the list of merits of the Texas Tech College of Engineering: Apparently, it's fun. Popular Mechanics this month featured the college in a list of five fun university engineering programs as part of its "Educated Destruction 101" article. There isn't a direct link to this story (that I can find) but take my word there is a great photo of a 2x4 exploding against bricks (so buy the paper version). Ah, the enchanting power of the wind cannon. Cited was the ability for students to create their own hurricanes and track down tornados. That's education.
Of course, the folks that run the cannon are used to blowing bricks and boards up for media cameras.
