UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Researchers at the High-Pressure Combustion Laboratory at Penn State plan to conduct a series of small-scale detonation experiments that will each generate a loud noise between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 17. The facility is located on Big Hollow Road, between Services Road and Tower Road, behind the Intramural Fields, on the University Park campus.
Each test will generate a single, short, loud noise similar to the sound of a rifle shot that may be noticeable outside the test facility.
Test plans and this notification procedure have been developed in consultation with Environmental Health and Safety at Penn State.
