Here you go: take a brad pin of 1/8 inch diameter and whack it into a pine board with a 90 pound blow from a taffee hammer.



The penetration pressure is ...gee whizz - 7000 psi.



Who'da thot it?

Hey! You want to deploy a system that puts out pressures of 30,000 psi plus? Come along now! that could go off like a shrapnel hit yada, yada, yada.

Oh, by the way: I KNOW the pressure that a sledge can exert because it produces plastic deformation when it dings a mild steel plate.

The REAL hydraulic engineer on this list can probably tell us all over again just how DANGEROUS that is, yada, yada, yada.
