    I've posted photos of the iron prills that I melted together in a crucible to form a single ingot (it's in my community tab here: th-cam.com/channels/AL3JXZSzSm8AlZyD3nQdBA.htmlcommunity?view_as=subscriber) .This was done using the forge blower blasting air down onto the crucible covered with charcoal in a small furnace. It is indeed iron metal as it sticks strongly to a magnet and has a shiny metallic luster. I believe it to be cast iron as it is quite brittle, though in other experiments I've made malleable iron from the same iron bacteria which could be flattened when hammered cold. Thanks.

      You need a better way to process the finished brick and get the iron nodules out. I realize you can only use what you find or make, but is it possible to find a lodestone? Then you could crush it all into powder and then get the iron out using that. You'd be able to process the drippings in the ashes too.

    From what I learned in Microbiology Class in University iron bacteria live on iron-rich surfaces. They wouldn't contain much iron themselves because the uptake has to be strictly regulated (iron in high doses is poisonous).
    I would recommend using the bacteria as an indicator, not a source. So you should focus on taking the rock and mud the bacteria are living on.

      If you roast the ore over an open fire, it becomes soft and brittle, which makes it easy to grind. The trapped water bursts into steam, which forms tiny cracks, and some of the iron ore changes state (hydroxides and carbonates turn into oxides, etc) which further disrupts the crystalline structure.

    @SarafanUnin 6 ปีที่แล้ว +551

    I love this series, I really do. Sometimes it makes me scream at my screen though. So far you've been treating your ferrobacteria seeps as bog iron, but I don't think that's the case here. bog iron takes decades of compaction. I think those colonies are a lot younger, and will never compact before washing away given the erosion rate of that slope. In short, unless you've had your source material professionally assayed, I suspect your iron concentration is much lower than you think, and most of the viscosity is due to organics and clay. I think this could be easily tested with a large settling jar and a flocculant. What I've been racking my brain over is an appropriately primitive way of separating your iron oxides from any hypothetical clay.
    Then it hit me; Calcium Hydroxide. You've already produced slaked lime for mortar.
    Instead of drying and directly smelting your cake, perhaps consider roasting the dried slime to burn off any entangling organics, (no furnace required for this part, open fire with a wind break is fine) and then powdering. Finally mix your powder into a tall pot of water and lime. Then just let it sit. It will take a few hours for the clays/silts to clump and settle to the bottom, then a your Fe and Mn oxides settles on top of the silicates in a separate layer along with a few calcium precipitates over the next few days (depending on what's in your water). the light calcium contamination can be panned off if need be, but it's probably fine (depending on your water's sulfur content) as extra flux.
    I think this will give you a more accurate picture of the true iron content of your ore, and provide you with a higher grade charge to smelt

      @Talmiior 6 ปีที่แล้ว +47

      @Majster Prosty Think of it from his perspective. He is attempting to view things from someone discovering these hard beads of metallic material from burning this iron rich slime. Maybe he will assume that in his current location someone looking for a more durable metal than copper may not know what iron ore looks like, or what natural lime looks like, or heck, even understand how lime could be useful in the refining process of iron. In this case, he should be stubborn and see how well his current discovered method works. Likely after collecting maybe 500 grams worth of those iron pellets, he will probably attempt to melt them down into a mold and then test its strength. Likely yes, he will discover that it's very low grade iron that needs a lot more refining. When that happens, he will know something more is needed.
      My point being, view this like watching someone with a curious mind from around 2000 B.C.E. learning about smelting iron from the sources he has immediately available to him.

    Make yourself a shallow, rimless ceramic pan, 15-18” in
    diameter, with a flat bottom 2” deeper than the rim, and 4-5” around. Fire it hard. Follow your stream until you find a sand bar, usually in a curve
    or under a small fall. Put a handful of
    sand in the pan, fill it with water and swirl the water around, moving out the
    lighter parts of the sand. This is
    exactly the same process as panning for gold, but in this case, you are looking
    for black sand. This is magnetite,
    Fe2O3, iron ore. If you find some, keep
    going. You need about 4-5 gallons if
    you can get it. Build your tall
    furnace, but poke a 1”hole at the base with a short furrow leading to a small
    basin about 6”x12” and 2”deep. Make a
    hard fired ceramic plug to fill the hole.
    Build your fire and add layers of charcoal, iron ore and crushed blocks
    of the “limestone” you made. Repeat
    until the furnace is nearly full. Fire
    it off and keep it going until the charcoal is mostly gone. Take your axe and break the plug out of the
    bottom of the furnace. The goal here is
    to remove the iron while it is still molten.
    If you are successful, you will have “pig” iron. It will have a high level of impurities
    which will have to be forged out. Make
    a stone hammer like your axe but with a hard dense stone like you used to
    hammer on your axe. Ideally, it should
    be about 2” around and 6-8” long. Heat
    your bloom of iron to yellow hot and beat it on an anvil stone to drive out the
    impurities, (mostly silica). You will
    probably need to do this a number of times.
    As soon as it cools to red, stop hammering and put it back in the
    fire. When you think you have it to
    where it is 65 to 70 % iron, fold it in half length wise while yellow and
    compact it as best you can. This is
    wrought iron. Break up pieces of bone
    into a meal and pack it around the iron in a ceramic pot with a lid. Heat in a fire until the pot is orange
    hot. Let cool. The iron should now be case hardened. Heat the iron to yellow, (all colors
    determined in the shade, not out in the sunlight), fold in half length
    wise. Reheat to yellow and sprinkle
    clean sand on the gap of the fold.
    Reheat to yellow, (don’t go to white, it will burn), take it out of the
    fire and hammer the gap closed. Don’t
    hit it too hard to begin with, but once the gap is tightly closed, you can hit
    it harder. You might want to make an
    apron out of green palm fronds to protect you from spatter. Repeat the case hardening and the forge
    welding. You are making steel in this
    manner. Once you have done this process
    3-4 times, you can begin to shape your ingot into what you want to make. You will have to decide what is the most
    important tool to make: knife, axe, hammer, chisel, eye punch, etc. Most streams have some black sand, but
    there may not be enough to make this process feasible. Any red clay will have a good bit of iron in
    it, but you will need to dry it out and crush it before you can use it. It will take a lot more of the red clay than it would of the
    black sand.

      You don't melt pig iron to get wrought iron. It is brought to a pasty mass in a puddling furnace with cilica added for flux, which is why wrought iron is so fibreous. If you melt it in a sealed crucible with burnt bone, however, you get an ingot of crucible steel that can be forged too and makes excelent tools and weapons, just like what the vikings had. Although they took what steel they made and used it for the faces of hammers and the edges of tools, welded to an iron body or iron core to make the most use of it. Although the ULFBERHT sword was one piece of steel, which is why it was so expensive to craft. Forging such steel is slow though, because it's hard under the hammer and the temperature must be within a narrow forging range or you'll crack it and have to melt it over again in another crucible.

He’s not one of those people who clickbaits either, people like Nicter or mainly fortnite youtube (or roblox) like to try to get to the 10 minute mark by blabbing out some random crap nobody wants to hear.

      Can't we all just agree that while Premieres work as a concept, when mixed with the already faulty subscription system, the broken notifications, and the generally messed up system of TH-cam as a whole; it just doesn't work to its full potential??

    Excellent work developing your furnace and fuel! Now that you have to replace those bars from the bottom, you can use those to crush into powder and add to new clay to make a crucible to handle higher heats. This will help in refining your metals later on. Look forward to more!

    Maybe the reason he doesn’t talk is because he hasn’t invented language yet because there’s no need to because he’s by himself

      Although he added English subtitles to explain what he's doing, which I'm sorry to ruin your imagination.

    I get your notifications every time you upload, you don't need to do premiers. Most of the time TH-cam premiers do worst than just uploading regularly.

    I really really really like can’t emphasize enough how much I don’t like the premiere feature. All it shows us is that a video is ready but we can’t watch it yet

      I really hope he listens to the almost unanimous opinion that this feature is disliked.
