RE: Aluminothermic Reduction of Iron Ore
Thermite is quite an interesting substance! I was honestly quite surprised with the results of this test because there are quite a few impurities in the iron ore so I did not expect as high of a…

RE: Aluminothermic Reduction of Iron Ore
I am interested to see how other metal oxides will interact with the final product as well. I am also curious as to how hard it is going to be to control to carbon content in the final product by…

RE: Smelting Iron Ore
No problem! I enjoy sharing knowledge which is why I am here! I plan on using the iron I make, depending on how much I get, to make a blacksmith's hammer and a knife.

RE: Smelting Iron Ore
The air turbulent (in terms of flow properties) when it comes out of the nozzle which gives it a cone like spread. I can simply move the compressor away from the air inlet to lower the air inflow.…

RE: Smelting Iron Ore
In terms of the earthen door question, I could 'theoretically' remove the bloom from the top but that is borderline impossible and then I would have no good way to clean the furnace. It honestly…

RE: Smelting Iron Ore
I decided to build it because I really like to challenge myself and not many people can say they made iron (however small the amount) from rock. Now I just need to get enough to make something useful!

RE: Making Iron From Scratch: Processing the ore and building the furnace
I have seen primitive technology and I will say his natural draft furnace is very impressive. My only concern about that furnace type is that the air flow is not as penetrating and regulated so you…

RE: Making Iron From Scratch: Processing the ore and building the furnace
Depending on the Iron yield, I will probably make a few knives and possibly an axe. I have about 300lbs of good quality ore at the moment and will probably end up doing a 100lb ore run to start and…

RE: Capturing Plasma in Magnetic Fields & Updated Hardware
I will dedicate an entire article to this shortly after I get a few more flanges and components. The short version is that the electron beam current has relation (i think its linear-ish) to both the…

Yes I have! I built this one first because it was very simple and I don't think anyone had tried this particular setup before. I plan on building a hall effect thruster at some point soon which uses…
