Check out the "Blast Furnace" that me and my buds made when we were 14. We were pretty bored...

EDIT: In case you guys were looking for an update on our lives, where we are, etc.

  • THE VIDEO! IT DOEZ NOTHING BUT LOAD!

  • wuah, true that, i'll see if I can get that fixed

  • you guys made a forge, not a blast furnace.. a blast furnace converts raw ore into a metal by a thermochemical process. The blast furnace is fed by several tuyeres blasting HOT air (1500c)into the hearth causing the coke to ignite and react with iron ore and limestone (flux) to create pig iron. Blast Furnaces operate at around 3000F

  • agreed, however, as we were young and blissfully unaware at the time, the term "Blast Furnace" just seemed to stick.

  • haha, good thing i'm Canadian eh?
