A bomb makes one think of an explosion such as with a fire cracker.

A pressure vessel with a non-compressable fluid such as water or oil
will have a leak, lose some drops of fluid, and have reduced pressure
very quickly.

Gasious tanks, oxygen, argon, actetelne, are all compressed and will
expand to many times their presurezed size. My scuba take is 80
cubic feet in less than a 2 cubic foot space.

Damage from ruptured hydraulic leaks on farm and construction
equipment is often in the form of a squirt of oil in the eye.

But, steam engines are a different animal.

Anyway, I would be interested in anyone who has a home pressure
washer and the desire to get a 10 mil orface and see if it will cut
butter or a chicken wing or a piece of wood.
