And melt metal in a crucible. I just found out a friend knows how to weld and is interested in a project.

I can use it for a metal melting furnace outdoors without the tubes.

Screw heating, I want to melt metal and then use it as a steam generator and something that drives a pump to bring water from the sea up to here and then something to drive the generator to run grow lights to be able to grow indoors. 24x7 food.

I found a worthwhile project and someone nearby can help me with and have fun with. This is win win.
