That's called "Ringing An Anvil" A good cast steel anvil will "sing" loud enough to hear several hundred yards away.

In a perfect world, that anvil would have landed on Pelosi's head. As it did not, however, blowing up shit just 'cause it's there makes about as much sense as creating things to sell on late-nite infomercials that nobody needs.

Reminds me of the crazy schemes of Wile. E. Coyote and the Roadrunner.

Poor safety there.

Once in a while, the corners of the foot break off and fly sideways.

The base need to be sitting in a hole at least 6" deep to protect spectators.

It won't fly as far that way, but you won't lose your house because a small chunk of metal gets stopped by a spectator.

I remember reading somewhere that this was done by poor pioneer types as a necessity to convince the attacking injuns that that pale face had artillery. (Make-um run other way)
