Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

First of all, my congratulation to You on a very interesting topic of the manuscript.

The article is very interesting and interesting. The presented research will find a big role in the blasting itself and in nature protection. It would be interesting to add to the following research the measurement of noise as one of the main impacts on environmental protection. Comparison of the use of existing blasting methods and the methods presented in this article.
I also suggest that the proposed method be supported by additional literature. 

I suggest the following changes:

Line 121, 143, 169, 244, 286, 291, 302 - fix resolution on the figure and consider using Palatino Linotype font

Reviewer 2 Report

This is a reasonable experimental setup and clearly present results and discussions.

1.In the explosive driven shock tube experiment, the behavior of shock wave traveled through the metal cannot be photographed. However, a sphere-shape charge should also produce sphere shockwave. Can the author explain the influence of shock tube on the behavior shock wave inside the shock tube? Is there any drag, reflection and/or refraction that affect the travel of the shock wave.

2.Can the author discuss if there is any the scale effect (higher explosive charge) of this experiment and how it may affect the results?
