Let gravity do what, exactly?
The water is flowing out of the well because its internal pressure is enough to overcome gravity. Increasing the well-bottom surface area would increase the flow rate.
- foota 5y agoI think the idea is to collapse the well walls.
- klyrs 5y agoPressurized water isn't stopped by rubble, it's stopped by solid materials. Explosions turn solid material into rubble. Seems like a terrible idea.
