[QUOTE=pentium;50557342]The related video. Jesus christ. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTKodUpErR8[/media] Like, what do you even do in a situation like that?[/QUOTE] Holy hell, that's terrifying. I wonder how they clean up something like that after it's cooled; you can't exactly use a mop on solid steel.

Also most of that stuff in the explosion is slag, molten steel throws off a lot more sparks than that, and the slag will pretty much turn into stone/dust when it cools. [video]https://youtu.be/w0Zp3GGLZgM[/video]

[QUOTE=da_maul;50558403]I'd be interested in seeing that, if nothing else an example of how to waste that much time in a story.[/QUOTE] I didn't knowingly waste any time actually, i just had a huge setup for the story. I set up the main main character's upbringing with two chapters, then the introduction of the current day charicters, then set up the story, and then it was 130k. Paolini had a page and a half of detail describing a table in Eldest, i'm just that manic about everything i guess. I'd rather not post it though, i feel like it was a really cool premise and i'm chums with a professional editor who said if i went at it with a lawnmower it might sell well. Just throwing a half baked version out there might be a shitty idea [QUOTE=mecaguy03;50558079]Well, I imagine put out whatever fires its starting and wait for it all to cool down. Spraying lots of water probably helps. Then afterwards there is going to be a lot of work to get all that shit out of wherever it ran into. Also considering the place is designed to handle molten steel, I imagine there are some kind of design considerations for this sort of thing. I think this belongs here. (steel mills are some of my favorite places) [video]https://youtu.be/ZLkOvBpPpU8[/video][/QUOTE] Water is what [I]caused[/I] that. According to the uploader a water jacket melted and dumped water into the bath. That flashes to steam so fast it's genuinely an explosion. And in the overflow in the ladle pit, it'd be so hot it'd boil the water in midair, it'd never touch the metal. I found a picture of an overturned torpedo car, and trees 10 feet away from any actual metal were on fire from the heat alone. Water from a hose wouldn't get close for hours And steam explosions are bloody powerful. if the crown sheet went on a 300+ PSI steam boiler with 50,000 pounds of water in it, it has about the same explosive energy as 15,000 pounds of dynamite. Wikipedia has the math [QUOTE=wikipedia wombles]A steam locomotive operating at 350 psi (2.4 MPa) would have a temperature of about 225 °C, and a specific enthalpy of 963.7 kJ/kg.[6] Since standard pressure saturated water has a specific enthalpy of just 418.91 kJ/kg,[7] the difference between the two specific enthalpies, 544.8 kJ/kg, is the total energy expended in the explosion.[/QUOTE] One of the heaviest locomotives ever made was the Allegheny's. And one of them blew a crown sheet once. [T]http://www.thefairchilds.org/trains/full/all906.jpg[/T] I've yet to find photos, but the post accident report said that the explosion was enough to rip the boiler and front frame clear off the rear frame and train, and fling it 20 feet ahead of the explosion site, while the decapitated locomotive and train ground to a halt. I have the report [URL="http://puu.sh/pAnfz/40a95f98d4.txt"]here[/URL], but it's pretty dull if you're not interested in that sort of thing. And hey, here's more steel [video=youtube;vNzP9cvHSkM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNzP9cvHSkM[/video] The guy who uploaded this is a real bro. I was modeling a Ladle and overhead crane a while ago for a project, and he was super kind and passed on a shitload of super high res reference of his old melt shop's equipment he took before it was shuttered. Apparently he also sold some reference to the people who made Red Orchestra 2 as well, so that's cool. He said he was listed in the credits but i never checked to see if that's true

I dont know, that room doesnt look awfully big and fire hoses can put out a lot of water in an hour, at 200 gallons per minute a fire hose can spray about 50 tons of water in an hour, and even at the melting temperature of steel air holds about 4 times less energy per kg than water. I dont know how big that room is or exactly how hot the air is or what sort of flow is going on there, but I dont think there is enough air to boil that much water even if it is near the melting temp of steel. It was kind of hard to find trustworthy flow rate numbers for a fire hose, so the 200gpm might be wrong, I have seen a manual that said "our fire apparatus have the ability to pump on average up to 1000 gallons per minute at a large fire" although it might mean several engines and several hoses.

There are about four steel mills within 20 miles of where I live. I should get a tour at one of them some time. Those bottle cars (cars of molten steel) will glow at night and you can feel the heat from a good thirty feet away. Steel country is awesome, and I plan to work as a plant engineer when I get out of school.

On the topic of liquids we're not used to seeing as a free-flowing entity, have the Great Molasses Flood of 1919: [IMG_thumb]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/BostonMolassesDisaster.jpg[/IMG_thumb] Here's a plaque which commemorates the disaster and explains some of what happened: [img_thumb]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f8/Molasses_Flood_Historical_Marker.jpg[/img_thumb]

Isn't Vancouver the only Canadian city where the chinese are allowed to buy property?I don't think this is going on in Montreal for example. And btw they're pretty dumb if they're dumping millions on a graffiti home. Should put it in a managed portfolio of shares or something...

Why pour slag? Why not form it into bricks for low cost 3rd world building material or something?

[QUOTE=Binladen34;50567075]Why pour slag? Why not form it into bricks for low cost 3rd world building material or something?[/QUOTE] Slag is toxic.

[QUOTE=Binladen34;50567075]Why pour slag? Why not form it into bricks for low cost 3rd world building material or something?[/QUOTE] It's usually not all that strong, and it's probably too heavy to ship cost-efficiently.

[QUOTE=Binladen34;50567075]Why pour slag? Why not form it into bricks for low cost 3rd world building material or something?[/QUOTE] A quick search of wikipedia: [I]Because of the slowly released phosphate content in phosphorus-containing slag, and because of its liming effect, it is valued as fertilizer in gardens and farms in steel making areas. However, the most important application is construction This previously unwanted recycled product is used in the manufacture of high performance concretes, especially those used in the construction of bridges and coastal features, where its low permeability and greater resistance to chlorides and sulfates can help to reduce corrosive action and deterioration of the structure.[3] The slag can also be used to create fibers used as an insulation material called slag wool.[/I] So I guess it is used in some places but i'm pretty sure most third world countries don't lack access to cheap building materials [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slag#Modern_uses[/url]

Why are they always naked

[QUOTE=paul simon;50570137]Why are they always naked[/QUOTE] If you are going to die in one hit anyway you may as well take all your armor off to reduce equipment load and roll faster.

[QUOTE=paul simon;50570137]Why are they always naked[/QUOTE] Why not?

[QUOTE=paul simon;50570137]Why are they always naked[/QUOTE] They ain't always, just some renaissance masters was really about anatomy and mathematics, and then to put this into a science they just make fencers nude so you can say for sure what things should be like.

Also, throwing someone into a suit of armor makes them kinda nondescript as to how their body is supposed to be shaped, as it simply becomes "his arm is in this direction" as opposed to "he is twisting his wrist and pushing from the elbow" etc.

[QUOTE=paul simon;50570137]Why are they always naked[/QUOTE] these manuals were written before the invention of clothes

[QUOTE=paul simon;50570137]Why are they always naked[/QUOTE] In the 1800s, some duelists fought duels nude or semi-nude, to prevent dirty cloth from being forced into the wound, making it much less likely to be infected. I'm not sure if that advice is accurate, and it never seemed to be particularly common, but perhaps it was followed anyways, and earlier than the 1800s. Plus what G-Strogg and Zillamaster said.
