primitive technology: natural draft furnace
Bookmarked 421 weeks ago
i built a natural draft furnace to test ideas about how hot a furnace could get without the use of bellows natural draft is the flow of air through a furnace due to rising hot air the hot gasses in the fuel bed are more buoyant than the cold air outside the furnace causing them to rise fresh combustion air then enters the base of the furnace to replace the rising combustion gasses keeping the fuel bed burning this effect increases with: 1 the average temperature of the fuel bed relative to the outside air and 2 the height of the furnace two other important factors are the size of the tuyere air entry pipe and lump size of the fuel bed as these effect the resistance to airflow through the furnace the furnace was tested with wood fuel and some ore was melted but produced no iron high temperature were indeed produced probably about 1200 c these types of furnaces were once used for smelting copper and iron ores in around the world in ancient times usually using charcoal as a fuel and in some cases
