I built one of these when I was like 11 in circa 1962 and didn't heed the warning on using goggles. I ended up with a serious case of welder's flash, VERY PAINFUL!!! I melted anything I could get my hands on. I also laid the carbon rods on the cement basement floor and got a red hot spot on the floor. My brother told me how dangerous this was, the floor could have exploded in my face due to the expansion in the heated spot with no where to expand to other than to buckle and explode. Be careful......

Half and half. Fraternal half Alsatian, maternal half Hungarian. Real name, Muckensturm, which literally translated is "flystorm"???? Mucke = fly , Sturm = storm. The arc furnace came from a book, 700 Science Experiments for Everyone. My other Bible was The Scientific American book of projects for The Amateur Scientist. Both books are still on my bookshelf. I am very lucky to have all ten my eyesight and my life. Have experimented with some of the most dangerous stuff on earth. X-rays, explosives, very high voltages and currents etc. At age 50 I got seriously burned. Was very heavy into serious pyrotechnics (fireworks) Mainly rockets, but also shellbuilding and large aerial salutes. I have also gotten rear ended and thrown from my motorcycle and 30 days after that got t-boned in my van by a Chevy Blazer running a red light at +35 mph.

Be careful which batteries you choose, alkaline batteries will not work because (as far as I know) they do not have inner carbon rods, and also have highly corrosive alkaline material inside. You will make a mess and potentially get caustic gunk everywhere. What you want are Zinc Carbon batteries, usually labeled as "heavy duty".

Very good indeed with only one comment. a diagramatic version of the wiring or just slow down with the commentary, it is very important because regardless of what you are making, getting the wiring right is both important for it to work and also saves on replacing fuses because it was not wired up correctly. This is even more impotant when it comes to making welders, you dont get too many thumbs up from dead people Other than this very good indeed and worth watching, the one I wanted was the poly cutter hot wire but you just wentbtoo fast about the wiring.

Legend I made this: then: electric arc furnace and liquid nitrogen rockets. Now: DO NOT MIX SILLY STRING WITH SUPER GLUE SUPER DANGEROUS

[@nesca647]

Yeah before it was like: alright let's make a super dangerous arc furnace that can blind you, burn you or electrocute you Now it's like: gLuE iS DanGeRouS

Great guy, and well made videos for every level makers, we will alwayse miss you, rest in peace King.

What power source did you use on this experiment? My dad and I are interested! Is it possible to just use a 120 volt outlet? Also how many amps does it draw?

[@brydenpearson3871]

This is a bit of an odd question but do you have any idea if this could melt molybdenum? My big hobby is exploring abandoned mines and collecting minerals. I have been working on refining my own metals from the ore I collect. I recently collected a bunch of molybdenum crystals from a mine in the Sierras and wanted to make some ingots. However the furnace I made can only get to around 2000 deg F. Let me know you have any ideas. Thanks and keep up the awesome vids!

[@bwood6337]

How did you get into a hobby like that?

[@lovesrolopigeo8978]

Me too I'm trying to melt freaking carbon

[@RailwayPenguin]

@@lovesrolopigeo8978 I'm pretty sure it sublimes...

[@5467nick]

watch?v=mtxlIp52L9Y Melting molybdenum is kinda hard... Alumina firebrick melts long before molybdenum will and molybdenum will also burn if you don't have an inert atmosphere, preferably vacuum.

i know it's a year ago but no it's goes to liquid at 2900 C

how are the clamps not electrocuting you if you're holding them? very cool experiment

[@Talt9999]

He's wearing gloves that doesn't conduct electricity i think

[@CookingWithCows]

ah, the magic of gloves!

[@modetallah]

I know right, it's not like he's wearing gloves or anything. *facepalm*

[@ZombiesAteMyTV]

He doesn't get electrocuted because the max current is high but the voltage is low. I guess he wears gloves mainly for fire protection. I think he could touch the clamps even with bare hands (far from the electric arc) without getting injured. Anyway, safety is never enough.

[@inademv]

Check out his "metal melter" video to find out why.

[@Anishcj89444]

This is the video I watched and became his huge fan .we will miss u emperor of random rest in peace ☮️

[@evosagara]

This furnace can melt any metal known to men Me : so youre telling me i can melt *nEtHeRiTe*

[@presidentjohnhenryeden9450]

If you are talking something anything close to actual say gemstones, yes, yes you can

[@burntham8752]

Yes

Ya don't get it, do you?

It is hotter then lava

Very nice presentation.

[@StropSharp]

Very cool video!.....I used to tap furnaces for a living for a company called FMC Phosphorus Chemicals Division in Pocatello, Idaho for 10+ years, The furnaces there used like 8,000 to 12,000 lb carbon electrode segments screwed together eight high, and a furnace would have 3 of those coming in from the top to form what was called a Delta V arc. These electrodes would measure 50 to 55 inches across, and melt down mass amounts of phosphate ore briquettes along with coke and silica , that captured as a gas called P205, then condensed into elemental phosphorus. Each furnace had two slag tap holes and two metal tap holes.... they were huge. This plant had 4 furnaces total, and was touted as the largest phosphorus producer in the world back in its early years....Working there was like being on a whole different planet, very dangerous, and stressful, with plenty of horror stories....

Life is short. I'm glad he always had fun and taught what he knew. In a way he immortalized himself. I can see people who are not born yet getting knowledge and entertainment from this fellow.

Great video. Very instructive. You never cease to impress.
