Ho hum.............."

I bet that burned a little bit on the exit.

Cool vid though :thumbsup:

You post some of the more interesting stuff on this forum IMO.

that's a hot mess!

i'm amazed how much energy is wasted like that. that heat cost a ton to produce, and could have been recycled into making more product, or more likely steam. instead it goes into the atmosphere, yay.

Rubycon is one of the most interesting people on this forum....and she lives on the ocean.

Hey Ruby,

What do you do and where do you find these vids?

Based on your posts and knowledge, you have to be working in this industry... or you have a fetish for industrial things.

 

[grohl]

Ruby knows everything. If it was difficult, and built by humans, Ruby knows how it works, and could probably do it herself providing she had good tool access.

lmao, I saw the thread title and thought, "I'll reply with a video of them dumping slag." Damn it!

Cost of reclamation, transmission, losses, etc. make it not worthwhile.

It's a disease...

Big things that use/generate lots of kinetic energy always were fascinating to me. Nature is powerful and respected always but machinery running on the edge of control produces that same adrenaline rush. Knowing that one mistake could kill you...

Not many get the opportunity to experience the eerie blue glow of Cherenkov radiation and those that have without knowing (say tearing apart a high power source stolen out of a teletherapy device!) and dying later, that's too bad. :whiste:


Or how about these guys?

Yeah I wish that were true.
Not everything complex was engineered by humans.

I'm willing to bet one could feel the heat on their face from the immense amounts of IR for a distance of several km from the dumping site. "Hot pants" radius probably over 100 meters easily. :awe:

Air is a good insulator. But you knew that.

And now for something you didn't know:

god that's crazy. i think it would be fun as hell to work in a steel/aluminum/titanium mill.

in the specialty steel business, i want to say they can cast about 50,000 lbs per heat.

for "plain carbon" steels....i can't imagine how long they let a continuous caster run...

Watching this reminded me of my earlier bathroom adventure.

You can see this being done at Great Lakes Steel on Zug Island if you're anywhere south of the plant along the Detroit River. You're pretty far away, but the glow is unmistakable.

Rouge Steel (or what ever took over the Ford Steel operation in the Rouge Complex) used to have specialized trucks to transport those slag buckets. They looked like 15 foot tall steel spiders with the bucket hanging underneath. Visibility for the driver was pretty bad, I was told, and everyone gave them a wide berth.

Damnit, I laughed......:$

What you can't see in the video is that I'm all the way at the bottom cutting off the current with a hot dump of my own.
