Video: The whole snow in the steel furnace 2,000 degrees

A group of scientists experimented with putting a lump of snow in a steel furnace at a temperature of 2,000 degrees Celsius to check the ability of the refractory material.

According to Mirror, a group of scientists from the US General Electric Corporation of General Electric decided to do an experiment to test what would happen if a piece of snowball was put into a steel furnace with temperatures up to 2,000 degrees Celsius

The snowball is stored in liquid nitrogen, then placed in an empty sphere, made of 3D printing technology from high-temperature resistant materials, often used in jet engines.

The snow is still intact, though burned in a 2,000 degrees Celsius steel furnace (Photo: GE).

After using the chain to lower the sphere to the steel furnace at an old foundry, they pulled it up, waited for it to cool and opened it. As a result, the snow ice inside is still completely intact.
