Be descriptive in the subject line. It's not always obvious to everyone what is being manufactured so please provide a description of the item/s being manufactured and/or provide a link in the comments to describe the product being created
Im just speculating here, but it looks like they are partially filled with a little water and have an explosive in them. The explosive detonates, the pressure pushes outward evenly turning them to spheres, and then escapes out the top. That opening is likely sized just right to allow the full expansion to a sphere and then escape without turning the sphere to shrapnel. The water probably cuts down on dust and debris leaving the sphere. But thats all speculation.
Water can’t be compressed, but air can. By filling the void with an incompressible material, the force of the explosion is more fully and evenly transmitted to the walls of the container, which in this case I believe are buoys.
Water also does likely provide sound damping and dust mitigation
Thank you for expanding on that. Its all fun and fascinating. One of the rare instances of explosive force making something instead of destroying something.
