A means to bore into the ground using water and or air under pressure to loosen the ground so as to make the ground vacuum able. The water and or air under pressure may be directed to impact the ground as a constant, steady force or as an intermittent pulsed impact force.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed:  
     
         1 . A means to pressurize a container with air, and means to then add pressurized liquid into the container thus causing the air to be further compressed and pressurized, and means to abruptly discharge and direct the liquid discharge.  
     
     
         2 . A means to pressurize a container with water and means to cause an electrical spark of sufficient power to vaporize a portion of the liquid, thus using the pressure of the water vapor expansion to propel the liquid, and having a means to abruptly discharge and direct the liquid discharge.  
     
     
         3 . The means in  claim 1  or  2  wherein a vacuum hose suction end is placed in proximity to the material being demolitioned or made vacuum able.  
     
     
         4 . The means in  claim 1  or  2  wherein a diaphragm is located between the liquid and gas.  
     
     
         5 . The means in  claim 1  or  2  wherein a processor means controls the pressure, fill or discharge.  
     
     
         6 . The means in  claim 1  or  2  wherein multiple orifices discharge the liquid in multiple directions.
