Melting some more iron sand.<br />Experiment..<br />The temperature of the liquid iron must be below 1083° Celcius because the copper electrodes did not melt.<br />I used dishwasher soap again to trigger the process.<br />It looks a bit like lava with it's elasticity.<br />Adding salt didn't create any special effects or colour of the flames.<br />Watch the ammeter pointer jump, when the electrodes are moved. The base load is around 20 Ampères at 240 Volts.<br /><br />Note of caution !!<br /><br /> This experiment is done with 240 Volts mains , so utmost care has to be taken when trying it out during experimenting with this exercise.<br /><br />I'm in the process of sourcing carbon rods so more tests will follow, with an arc furnace set up.
