[Th3BadWolf] decided to undertake a casting foundry job of legendary proportions. The hardest part of the develop is obviously the apparatus for melting the metal. It needs a vessel that can stand as much as the heat, as well as a heating technique that has sufficient thermal power to melt metal. He’s just completed the burner part of the build. His writeup includes info about the cement casting that completes up the vessel on which he had already done a great deal of work.
You’ll keep in mind that for the enclosure he started with an oil drum as well as lined it with a ceramic blanket. That was lined with terminate brick. In this update he surface it off by putting a smaller barrel inside to act as an inner form, then filled the staying space with 3000 degree cement.
The burner injects air, propane, as well as oil which are all driven by a blower as well as required with a nozzle into the chamber. You can catch a quick blower as well as burner test clip after the break. We can’t wait to see the next post, which we presume will be a test run of the final assembly.
