Abstract
The final aim of study is confirm a new technique that can crush frozen soil and/or ice on the farm by underwater shock wave generated underwater explosion of explosives. In the cold region, for example, North Japan, Russia, Norway, and Sweden, etc., this technique can makes carry out early sowing and having large harvest. Especially, in Hokkaido prefecture Japan, if sowing is carried out in April, we may be expected to have a 150% of harvest of ordinary season due to the total of the sunshine hours. At first, we carried out experiments, which use explosives and ice block. The process of of shock wave spreading in the ice solid was observed by using of the high-speed camera.
