UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Researchers at Penn State’s High-Pressure Combustion Laboratory on the University Park campus will conduct a series of ongoing small-scale detonation experiments over the next few weeks that will each generate a loud noise. The next test is scheduled to occur between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Friday, May 27.
Testing will occur intermittently through the month of June. Each test will generate a single, short, loud impulse noise similar to the sound of a rifle shot, which may be noticeable outside of the test facility.
The facility is located on Big Hollow Road, between Services Road and Tower Road, behind the Intramural Fields.
Test plans and this notification procedure have been developed in consultation with Environmental Health and Safety at Penn State.
