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.

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.
