The video discusses Cornwall's potential to supply a third of the country's tin needs. It introduces Blunderbuss, a device designed by Farnborough scientists to simulate supersonic bangs without public disturbance. The process involves using a Polaroid camera to capture sonic signals and a diaphragm that bursts due to air pressure, causing the bang. Models can be placed inside Blunderbuss to study the effects of these bangs. The video also covers the recording of sonic booms from the Concorde.
