Melting cast iron at home - Element Cube Collection (DIY)
Переглядів 30 тис.2 роки тому
We have reached the seventh cube for the element cube collection: Cast iron! Made from a pair of disc brakes, which was quite a challenge to get melted due to cast iron's high melting point. As something new the cube is engraved using electro etching, where an electrolyte of vinegar and table salt is used. The power supply is set to 12V and draws around 500-1000 mA. Please remember good ventila...

Teapot Melted into Copper Anvil
Переглядів 8322 роки тому
A teapot falls out of the sky and is melted into a 500g copper anvil. The anvil is casted using a 3D-printed pattern designed by my brother Sebastian and myself. It is printed on the Prusa i3 mk3s and the casting sand is our home made "green sand". Music by: Jon Stage (First song in this video) jonstage.com

This series explains how to build an electric kiln/furnace/oven, which can be used to melt metals, fire ceramics, burn out casting moulds (and make marshmallows). In part 1 we start by cutting an old almond oil drum into the bottom and top lid pieces. Then fire bricks are cut to the correct shape to form an octagon shape, and finally they're mounted in the oil drum. The silicate insulation mate...
Casting a Yellow Brass Cube - Element Cube Collection
Переглядів 5172 роки тому
Next cube to be added to my element cube collection is Yellow brass, which is a common alloy consisting of 33% zinc and 67% copper. First the copper is brought up to its melting point around 1089°C, and then the zinc is added. As seen in the video; the copper is too hot which causes some of the zinc to burn away (the green flames and white smoke). The first attempt results in a cube with a big ...

Awesome, thanks
Would you have the plans for this project , please?
Awesome video! I was wondering though why is the bloom first hit on a stump instead of straight to the anvil?
how would they do this process back when they didn't have magnets? use gravity and water to sort out the heavier stuff?
4:13 xD
Nice, the wire is just impossible to order anywhere, what a useful video /s Been looking for hours on every website i can find, no fucking kanthal d, only a1 for fucking vapes
1:37 MINECRAFT ‼
Hvad er det for noget isolering du lægger nederst? Det er jo forholdsvist fast, og jeg kan ikke finde information om dette på internettet. Har du evt flere oplysninger på det?:) Tak på forhånd
this is legit
The most impressive thing for me was the fact that you were able to sun dry the sand in Denmark :D. Nice job chaps
Welp , i know where im getting my iron for my future forge , fan the fire , raise the belows boys we got smelting and smithing to do .
Codys Lab has a very nice video on how to separate magnetite from dirt using a magnet and gravity.
Simply awesome, waiting for part 5.
You Just made tamahagane
Almost felt like a good way of starting making that brand new mercedes g class jeeep like this, yet this is just raw iron, yall still needed some chemical sht to make a metal out of it. Anyway, take a look at this playlist and try to answer questions about info in black frames... ua-cam.com/play/PLG69jx24qoyGfKZ7WLLEi0hO5OnJuWqYO.html&si=D03vECfesmWSRl4q
Have you thought of using a router with a tapered bit
Hi Jacob. I can't find part 3. Is there an episode for the lid?
Exceptional. Thank you.
❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
where is the part 5?
it didnt work 😮😢
Magnetite is thought to be found only as large crystals, but those are extremely rare. Instead magnetite is found as banded iron formations or in iron sand. In igneous rocks the grains of magnetite are very scarce and minuscule but are concentrated into sand due to weathering.
bronze isnt an element
How did ppl extract black magnetite from dark sand back then? Do you think they just smelted all sands together?
Do you have any advice on how to get this kiln smaller? I mean 5kw is waaayyy too much for my application. I don’t use large flasks. I tried fiddling with the math you use here but whether I bring down to just 1.5kw I still end end up with 3 meters stretch coil.
I don't think I have seen anyone with a combination of metal works and electrical engineering. Your content is great man. You should seriously consider offering consulting services worldwide.
Please send email . Be project in Indonesian
I need one. How you can help me
This bloom looks very good
If it's iron sand and high carbon due to charcoal isn't it Carbon steel and not Pig iron?
jeg er også dygtig til at smede. og jeg elsker de processer som ses i jern industrien. herunder udvinding af jern fra jernåre, eller produktion af stål ud fra jern.
Are the bricks moistened with water? Or is there another solution?
What is the wall thickness of this lamp?
awesome thanks for the tutorial.
HI! What kind of firebricks did You use. What are the specifications. K23 or K26 or some different type JM23 or JM26 maybe?
Complimenti. Seguo da Roma questo importante e bel progetto. spero che tu possa continuarlo a migliorare. Grazie ciao Paolo
This is pretty damn cool, I might have tried making my own iron in the future but it really looks like doing this alone mighe not be a very smart idea lol. Possibly if a smaller scale is possible to make something that weighs only a few kilos, but you do need people around to prevent fire spread.
If you are an electrician, this is a piece of cake. If you are not, please do some real electricity courses before attempting! Regards: electtrician.
Sorry, but there is a problem with this type of lid design. When open the hot underside of the lid is facing anyone trying to access the inside of the furnace. At higher temperatures in particular this will make life difficult. This is why my furnace lid lifts slightly and then swings to one side, the hot underside is thus only pointing harmlessly downward and not towards me. This is just as easy to build as your set up here.... Martin PS. What holds your elements in? My attempts at an electrical furnace (3 phase 25 amp variac controlled) had elements just sitting in simple grooves and on cooling down the contraction of the elements slowly (over a few uses) pulled the elements out of the grooves.
HI, I saw your videos on building the oven, thank you very much! the tutorial is very well done and detailed. Now I want to build one too and I'm looking for all the necessary materials. I found the bricks of 26T refractory material, but I can't find the tiles you used for the lid and the bottom, 50 mm high. Can you advise me where I can buy them? I imagine I will necessarily have to use 26T or 26J material and not a common refractory material. I also ask you, can you share the files of the shaped and processed bricks and the technical drawing of the oven? do you have a general list of the materials used? Thanks so much again
did you write up a kiln heater worksheet in LaTeX?
Well done very informative video . Question > how you knew what temperature you will reach with such element length , power ?
Hello, is it possible for this kiln to work on Single-phase current? And if i want to use the maximum volume and put on one or two more Rows of Bricks, could it be more kW on Single-phase current and is this insolation suitable for this?
Just an fyi based on my local electrical experience(s), when dealing with mains voltages and current above 5amps you should only use mechanical connections to secure conductors throughout the circuit as solder can & often will soften under load and break free from connections. Take it or leave it, just my 2 cents on an otherwise beautiful build. My hat is off to you sir! 👏🏻
The end of flexible electrical wires shouldn’t be drilled. Leave them straight and put some wire end ferrules on it. Also when you put more than one cable in it. Otherwise it might get loose due too heat expansion
May God bless you for this wonderful information
Great
R of wire change with Temp, it is not constant.
