They've been around for quite a while, I saw one demo'd in 1985 and it wasn't new then.
The lady that demo'd the thing blew a hole straight down thru a 12" shaft, then cut a circle out. The 12" long by about 3" diameter slug dropped out on the ground.
It wasn't a precision tool but a quicker way to scrap heavy stuff.
Nobody ever used it to my knowledge, it just sat there collecting dust.

petrogen or something like that. Seems like there is even a manufacturers demo video out there somewhere on one apparatus.

auburn, if you are planning on cutting with this 'rig', don't waste your time building it, you cannot cut with air, except plasma, and that's a different process completely.
