    The very first thing I thought about when I woke up today was how the Anglo-Saxons made glass specifically in between the seventh and ninth centuries.

      @pauljs75 5 років тому +11

      Isn't a kiln just a type of furnace able to reach temperatures capable of vitrification? So either one is technically correct, but one is specific when the goal is reaching high temperatures. (Alternately the term oven could be used just as well, but that is more commonly used in terms of cooking and food preparation.)

    • @macnudd
      @macnudd 5 років тому +4

      A furnace is to make the glass to the working temperature, a kiln is to slowly bring the glass down to room temperature.

      @farmerboy916 5 років тому +7

      Well if it's wool, it's basically inflammable and not a problem; issues will be mostly cosmetic, maybe some small holes. If it's a flammable natural fabric, the worst that can happen is a spot catches on fire and you slap it, putting it out. You now have a hole to patch and some slightly singed hairs, maybe, but that's it. Even if it the entire thing catches fire and burns off of you, you'd have to be quite daft to let it burn long enough to badly injure you and not take it off. And fabric being quife the insulator, does provide you with a decent grace period of protection from accidentally touching hot stuff.
      Now if you have a synthetic fabric, that's quite dangerous; it can burn, but melts onto the skin instead of burning off of you, and the natural reaction is to pat it out, driving that molten plastic into the skin of the melting area and your hand.
      Never work with heat with synthetic materials

    16:00 as a person who knows quite a bit about wood burning (mostly from experience) I can tell you that green wood (dampened wood) can work just as or even better than seasoned wood deepening on the circumstance, but you have to mix it two greens for every seasoned, and the seasoned has to go in first because the seasoned will burn just fine and even boil the water out of of the green wood and by the time the seasoned wood is burned away the green wood will be ready to burn this will increase the amount of time it before the needs wood to be replaced meaning fewer reloads and increases wood burning efficiency by 50-70% with little to no change in temperature

Also Spain, South America, and Africa won't rise up and try to kill you everywhere they find you for ending your son. And you'll pay off the weregeld faster than the debt it cost us to end slavery.

    Almost everything in the Roman world was made on a massive scale. This led to the loss of native industry, so when Roman economic structure broke down there was a loss of those industries in certain areas.
    This happened in Britain even to pottery, leading to the rise of the wooden bucket.

    • @SuperFunkmachine
      @SuperFunkmachine 5 років тому

      I don't think there really as much of a loss of pottery as some people say there is.
      There's certainly a loss of volume being made but pottery would of reappeared as an industry on a local level with in a few decades but at a higher cost.
      Now pottery breaks as we all know, but the other wood, horn an metal don't.
      And if pottery is now the expensive choice vs horn and wood, any fool can turn a wooden cup or mould a horn, an then volume falls even more an pottery becomes much less in production an higher in cost.
      Cue pottery being expensive until some one can fund the building an running of a large kiln.

  • @rayceeya8659

    If I remember right, the glass makers eventually transitioned from wood to charcoal and then coke to fuel their furnaces. Gradually working their way toward more energy dense fuel. The advent of refractory materials to make proper crucibles, to concentrate that energy, helped a lot too.
