Glass Heat

AI Thread Summary

To heat glass to temperatures of 200-600°C without combustion, resistance heating is a viable method, similar to air heaters. However, achieving the higher end of this temperature range, particularly 600°C, may require alternative techniques. Sunlight can be utilized for heating, but its effectiveness is limited to daytime use. The discussion emphasizes the need for appropriate heating methods based on the desired temperature. Overall, resistance heating is the most straightforward approach for this temperature range.

You could put a resistance and heat it, much like how an air heater works. Also, that temperature range is pretty big, if you really want 600C you would have to resort to other means.

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
