the moment I saw the idea of the cone, I decided I thought it was brilliant

Very very cool. Thanks for this video. Might have to try this!!!

The glass plate was getting warm because it was also absorbing the microwave radiation, not because of the kiln transferring heat to it via conduction. If you remove the plate when using the microwave, it will be even more efficient since all of the microwave radiation will get absorbed by the heating medium (SiC) that covers the inner walls of the kiln.

Yes, thats right. I have seen it on an other Video. The Glass Plate getting hot and absorbing the Microwaves. More Microwaves -> more hotter the Plate -> absorbing more Microwaves.....

Hello! Very helpful video. Also, what size is the kiln that you're using?

Hello! Thank you for the video :) I'm writing with a translator, sorry for mistakes. How many waats does your micro wave have? And what was the separator? Could it be bisqit too?

Hello. I am interested in microwave kilns for scientific/lab purposes. I don't know much about how the cone system works, but it seems like the kiln had to get up to 1915 or 1945 F to melt that clay, right? Or is there more to it? Thanks!
@laurahaight26604 жыл бұрын
Hi Kenneth, Cones are a measure of temperature over time and are used to judge the "heat work" (basically has everything melted appropriately). So they are not giving us a exact temp. The cones are made of the same materials that our clay and glazes are made of and if the cone bends then it is a good indicator that our ceramic pieces have gone threw the appropriate amount of heat work. 1850 to 1950F is a good guess but cones are not meant to judge only temperature. I hope this is helpful.

@@laurahaight2660 Thanks! The reason I ask is that other sites say that microwave kilns can reach only 800-899C. Melting a cone 04 would significantly surpass that at around 1000C+! That evidence is really useful, as these kilns seem less studied and are harder to study, as getting measurement equipment in a microwave is tough ...

To get those high temps you would need to insulate
