Ah ya beat me by 3 weeks 😂
Been looking everywhere on TH-cam for a video inside of an Arc Furnace. Perfect timing !

@@crabflinger the perfect timing was this being uploaded. They were already looking.
But yes, your phone probably listens to you too.
Ever thought about sitting in a ceramic kiln with an asbestos blanket on?
Or maybe shoving your tongue in an outlet?

Now that is impressive! Most people are unaware of the temperatures involved here.
Thanks. You are absolutely right. Molten steel is at the temperature of about 1600 degree Celsius
Yes most people don't realize that gloving molted metal is actually hot.
87 degrees at least.
Why would they need to be aware of that?
@ DomVelando ….because they are unaware of the temps involved here.
Guys this is extremely cool! Don't underestimate the advertisement/PR power of showing these things to the public on social media!
Extremely cool *and* extremely hot
Thanks for your positive feedback
@@logikatechnologies can you do komatiite magma
Will you please send us an email to info@logikatech,com mentioning your detail application?
No it aint, it's bloomin white hot!
Props to the cameraman for surviving the furnace!
The cameraman never dies.
Remember the photo of a black hole? Also his job!😅
This ain't funny anymore. This joke is pretty old
There's rumor he was doping.. with nitrogen.
@@staravs360Nah, old for you but my first time hearing it. 😅
These cameras are amazing. A fire testing laboratory my company used has mounted air cooled camera, and the view in a large 3000F test furnace was amazing - just like looking across a room. It filtered out the brightness of the inside of the furnace so it did not look like anything was at 2000F.
Thanks. The liquid steel is actually at a temperature of 2900 F to 3000 F, much higher than 2000 F.
@@logikatechnologies The fire test I’m referencing is conducted at 2000 F, a UL 17009 test, and there is no liquid steel involved. Most steel casting is done with the steel poured from the ladle at 2850F. Steel in a crucible may be higher than 2850, before it is poured in the ladle and sent to the caster.

Осталось теперь такие камеры на Венеру отправить
WOW! What sorcery is this! haha. But seriously, looks like the perfect camera to mount on rovers for exploring the surface of Venus!
One imagines the durability of such technology is only for brief endurance. If the entire atmosphere is at hundreds or thousands of degrees, no technology known can keep the camera's temperature down. And digital cameras rely on microcircuity, which relies on metal strips. It's just not possible by our technology.
The camera stays inside the furnace environment for 25-30 secs (our housing design & cooling mechanism is enough to sustain even bit more time, but we think this is safer limit), captures the view and comes out. Obviously no camera can sustain that environment for extended period of time because electronics will fail after a certain period of time due to excessive heat.
@@borderlineiq Thanks for the clarification. Still impressive.
@@logikatechnologies That's still impressive engineering! I'm truly amazed. Thanks for clarifying.
Surface of Venus isn't even remotely that hot. Venus is about 475°C, Arc furnaces operate at around 1760°C. Issue with venu isn't just the temps its the pressure.
Didn't even know about this type of furnace! Pretty crisp (no pun intended) image quality while in such hellish space.
This is called Electric Arc Furnace where scrap is melted to produce steel

An interesting view which we would not ordinarily ever see.
You can also see EAF top view video in our youtube channel. I agree that top view (when the roof is moved) is more common.
It's over Anakin! I have the high ground.
Everyone says Doom but what it reminds me is the movie "The Core" and "Volcano (1997)"
that's pretty neat. it's indeed impressive that you figured out how to keep a camera from completely frying in an environment like that.
Thanks for watching. Good engineering makes this possible.
Finally, lost footage of my gramp's sauna
This looks like a level on Doom.
Truly! Must have missed a switch somewhere.. should be a platform in that lava pool! Lol
The amounts of IR Radiation will be insane
Very true
Really unique view!
Thanks
This is insanely awesome. Thank you!
Glad you like it!
@@logikatechnologies I’ve always wanted to see what it was like inside an arc furnace! I’d love to visit one some day. The sheer size of the equipment, the mind blowing energy transfers, the heat and noise and massive pieces of metal being produced, everything about these places excites me.
Wow, amazing.
can it be pointed/gimballed? also do the Arc furnaces Arcs ever come in contact with the camera?
It can be manually adjusted on the mount before it is inserted to get the desired field of view. We get furnace layout drawings from the customer and prepare FOV to understand the coverage by the camera. And normally this is not inserted during arcing - so no risk of hitting by arc. The camera & lens assembly is vortex cooled and purged, so usually it can keep away the small spatters.
i guess aside from peeking through such furnace it can also be used to peek through magma chambers and other similar structures in the future
after a visual inspection with an eaf camera, i can confirm that the furnace is indeed hot
Yes certainly ... very very hot indeed! However we at LOGIKA are equipped to handle the hotness :)
What's the lens made of? Putting a housing on a camera to enable it to survive thousands of degrees isn't the biggest problem, the big one I would think would be a lens that doesn't become opaque in the heat. Check out the cameras on the re-entering SpaceX rocket the other day to see what I mean. The camera survived, but by the end could hardly see anything because the lens was scorched to opacity.
Lens is made of special glass with a cover of sapphire window in front. Cooling media runs through the lens to keep it cool as well as clean.
Quartz glass ? 😉
sort of
what did you see that could not be seen by opening the door and/or swinging the roof? What is practical value of this camera?
Nowadays, companies are more aware about safety of their operators. Operators can monitor furnace condition / process by sitting in the operator room which reduces chance of accidents. Secondly, cameras can give 24/7 monitoring whereas it is not physically possible for the operator. Cameras remove personal error / bias as in the operator room many more people can view the process together and can take a collective action. These are some of the advantages of camera systems over manual inspection process.
In a fire testing laboratory you can better see the performance of the product being tested. Hydrocarbon fire tests are conducted at 2000 F, and without the camera you are limited to looking through a small glass window, so you can more easily see the change in the product during testing, when it failed, etc.
Don't you lose heat by opening the lid?!🤔
Just checking on my pizza...
😂
:)
Proof the cameraman never perishes:
:)
plot armor ftw
So what does a furnace like this do then? Melt down metals with super high melting points or just destroy things?
It melts down scrap to produce molten steel
You don’t see that every day. 👍🏻thanks!
Thanks for your positive comment
why do they always have like fire pipes shooting into it along the sides?
I wonder too. Maybe to burn off oxygen and make a protective atmossphere. Just a guess though.
stunning
It really is!
Do you have a distributor in South Africa?
As of now, we don't have any distributor in South Africa. We have initiated discussion with some but nothing has been finalized. We are looking for a good agent / distributor in that region.
A peek inside hell everybody!
Just needs the BFG 9000 .
What are those 4 things shooting fire around the circumference?
These are called Tuyeres
@@logikatechnologies So why is it burning? Is the added oxygen allow uncombusted gaseous products to react?
@@elmfuzzy1 i believe the arcs are literally ripping apart the atoms, which is what fire does chemically when burning.
Hell looks normal today.
:)
So how is the camera kept cool
Special housing design, some additional heat resistant material and vortex cooled compressed air
What is the cone in the middle for?
This is an electrode. DC Arc Furnaces have one electrode & AC Arc Furnaces have 3 such electrodes. Arcing happens through these electrodes and steel (scrap) gets melted because of that.
I can see bits of the graphite rod melting and dripping down. That's pretty hot.
You bet!
How this camera stands all that heat?!
Proper engineering, good housing design and proper cooling with right amount of coolant makes this possible. Thanks for watching!
What about blast furnace?
Blast Furnace View camera - please contact us at info@logikatech.com
why is the metal flowing into the furnace?
This cave like opening, through which the camera goes in, is called "Slag Door". Slag floating on the top is taken out of the furnace through this opening so that only molten steel stays inside the furnace. After deslagging, EAF is tilted back in it's original position and molten steel remaining on the slag door path, flows back into the furnace.
Temperature? I’ve seen some comments re this but hoping poster can provide some info
Thanks
Interesting video 👍🏻
Thanks. Molten Steel temperature is about 1600 degree Celsius
@@logikatechnologies Excellent. Thanks. So something like 2900°F 👍🏻
Yes
Is ambient temperature over 400C?
Temperature inside furnace is approx 1400-1500 C

So... You saying we can try landing on Venus again?
Haha
Need it to be highly pressure resistant and not soluble in supercritical carbon dioxide
What a time to be alive.
:)
Of course we want to see it being charged!
Is that melted Zinc?
No. This is molten steel.
Is it like really hot in there or something?
I’m joking
:)
GoPro eat your heart out👍🏻
Actually a lot of our projects start off with a new customer saying, "before your camera I tried a GoPro … but it melted". Then after they try a Logika camera we hear things like, "Wow! That worked great. Now I've got another area to view that I didn’t think was possible, so let’s try Logika over there too.”
This is fine
:)
Holeee moly! Microcosm of Hell...
I was hoping it would dip in.
:)
That's scary!
It's like an oven in there.
I love this comment.
Not like the old days when you had to have a guy climb down there.
Improving Operator Safety is the primary driver for implementing these cameras. You get to keep people safer, with the added benefit being that you give the operators 24/7 high definition / high dynamic range videos on the process with the capability to play back and take a closer look whenever needed.
Looks kinda warm in there
Surely!
Damn! that was hotter than mckinney!
:)
It looks like it could be a little bit hot in there.
:)
The sound is missing... :(
Unfortunately, camera can only record video and not sound.
cool.
Thanks
How the fuck can that thing survive and continue filming at those temperatures...
This camera is protected in a specially designed housing which is covered with heat resistant material and is provided with additional cooling through vortex cooled air.
seems like everytings fine
Yeah
Cooool
Thanks

It's an electrode....
Only 1600 degrees celsius. Not great, not terrible.
Hot, hot molten hot.

Some say this camera is tougher than a Nokia 3310.
:) this camera is surely a toughie !
Lacks the best part: the electrodes going down
Yeah I dont think the heat insulated housing of the camera would survive that.
@feth7747 .. In this application, when EAF in operation and arcing, camera will not survive that environment. But you can see another video in our channel th-cam.com/video/ttssz2JJB8Q/w-d-xo.html (Ladle Furnace application) where you can see the electrodes going down and arcing.
Looks like a level in half life
:)
The pits of Mordor, and yet the camera still works… guess modern engineering is a tad better than saurons

It sure does ! But actually it's a process to make steel from Scrap.
Stuff melts in there 🤔

Sorry - I meant 2000 F.
Thanks. The liquid steel is actually at a temperature of 2900 F to 3000 F, much higher than 2000 F.
@@logikatechnologies the fire test is a UL1709 hydrocarbon fire test, and it reaches 2000 F in 5 minutes and stays there for the duration of the test. There is no liquid steel in this test.
How in fucks name camera no melt. Genuinely. Brain not comprendé at 4am
Proper design of the housing & cooling system enables the camera to survive the environment.
