22 Nov 2007 18:35 how to make electric arc furnace

In a very simplistic form, an arc furnace is a electric device which can work with a full short-circuit. In this sense, an Arc Welder (being simplistic again) is a transformer which was constructed to work with its secondary winding in short circuit (through the electric arc).

You can think use an Arc Welder with carbon electrodes to melt conductive metals. Some time ago I read about an article which explain how construct this device. I never found it, but surfing the web I could find this one:

Please be carefull, UV radiation due to arc, can make you blind. High currents can burn you and kill you.
