An Elitzur–Vaidman bomb-tester is a device that lets you test whether a light-sensitive bomb is a dud or not at arbitrary precision, without blowing it up. It is an example of interaction-free measurement.
The method does not really have any practical uses so far, although it has been demonstrated experimentally.
