Pig Saved From Slaughterhouse Becomes Artist A painting pig saved from the slaughterhouse is set to become the world's first animal to host her very own art exhibition. The porky painter, called Pigcasso, became famous for her abstract art - which sells for up to £3000 - after being rescued from squalid conditions at a pig farm in South Africa when she was just four-weeks-old. The piggy prodigy is about to hit the headlines again as she becomes the first animal to host her own exhibition today (Friday, January 19). The pink pop-up display, called OINK, opens in Cape Town today, before moving to London, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam. It will feature colourful artwork, all created by the 450lb pig, with proceeds going to Farm Sanctuary SA - a sanctuary for rescued farm animals.
Primitive Technology: Natural Draft Furnace I built a natural draft furnace to test ideas about how hot a furnace could get without the use of bellows. Natural draft is the flow of air through a furnace due to rising hot air. The hot gasses in the fuel bed are more buoyant than the cold air outside the furnace causing them to rise. Fresh combustion air then enters the base of the furnace to replace the rising combustion gasses, keeping the fuel bed burning. This effect increases with: 1. the average temperature of the fuel bed relative to the outside air and 2. Two other important factors are the size of the tuyere. air entry pipe (and lump size of the fuel bed as these effect the resistance to airflow through the furnace) The furnace was tested with wood fuel and some ore was melted but produced no iron. The furnace was tested with wood fuel and some ore was melted but produced no iron. High temperature were indeed produced (probably about 1200 c). These types of furnaces were once used for smelting copper and iron ores in around the world in ancient times, usually using charcoal as a fuel and in some cases wood too.
