Arc Furnace | Furnace Starting Heating #shorts

[ChevyConQueso]

Poking the ore in an arc furnace is not something I have on my bucket list of things to do before I die. Those graphite electrodes live in one of the most terrifying evironments created by man, short of the epicenter of a nuclear bomb.

I take it they're running at a really low voltage.

Neat to see even if it isn't fully powered up.

The sound of the switch and electric hum is enough to make your hair stand on end. You know you are dealing with a metric f-ton of energy.

I wonder what the power consumption is and the maximum that would be seen here.

Don't poke it with a stick, my Dad told me

This is a little bigger than our furnace 😅😂

Can that arc, arch onto you if you were standing close. Would it vaporize you?
