new to me. pretty cool.

The compressed gas is much cheaper than explosives, but that doesn't really account for the heli time.
The Daisy Bell hangs 150 feet from a helicopter and moves snow by emitting precise blasts using mixtures of oxygen and hydrogen. The idea is this device, which looks like a space capsule, will replace the need for moving snow with explosives
The Daisy Bell costs $130,000 and weighs around 1,100 pounds, including gas bottles.
