Chapter [020] The Heating Rod Comes Out

After Tan Li left, Ross was the only one left in the research room.

The first product he developed was about to come out, and Ross couldn't stop being excited.

It was originally planned that he would have to rest after eight hours of work, but now Ross had to break this rule.

Rose was completely absorbed in his work, almost in a state of ecstasy, and he could hardly feel the passage of time.

Ross shoveled the extremely sticky soil from Tan Lihe to the high-temperature electric furnace with a shovel, squeezed the mud with his hands, and made a mud ditch five meters long and no more than 20 centimeters wide.

After smoothing the mud with mason's tools, Ross mixed asbestos with cement, brushed a layer of cement slurry on the outside of these mud trenches, and a simple cooling tank began to take shape.

Ross continued to be busy, connecting the leaking nozzles for bathing one by one to the water pipes, and putting them on the drains. The manufacturing of the cooling tank was basically successful.

Ross opened the control valve of the high-temperature electric furnace, and a stream of crimson molten steel as thick as an arm flowed out of the furnace. He pressed the switch, and more than 30 leaks sprayed water on the molten steel, making a sizzling sound, and green smoke Straight up. After the molten steel was cooled, it quickly dropped in temperature, turning from red to black.

Rose's plan is to cool the molten steel to a liquid state through cooling, then let the liquid steel enter the 3D printer, and print out the heating element of the heating rod in the printer.

But it seemed to fail the first time. After the molten steel passed through the cooling tank, it was sprayed too much and solidified at once. It flowed more than two meters away, and then solidified and turned into iron lumps.

"Damn! We've sprayed too much water, we need to reduce the water consumption, and we can't cool down too fast."

Ross ran to the computer, did some calculations, then came back, turned off 8 nozzles, and only used 22 nozzles to cool down.

The high-temperature furnace was turned on again, and the molten steel flowed out again. The 22 nozzles evenly sprayed water and sprinkled it on the molten steel.

"Cool! The effect is good."

Ross was very excited, but found another problem. Some molten steel was stuck in the cooling tank. If it went on like this, if it accumulated too much, the cooling tank would be blocked.

"You have to put some industrial lubricating oil on the cooling tank to reduce clogging."

"I'm afraid it won't work with oil... Although the temperature of the molten steel has dropped, it's still over 1,500 degrees, and ordinary oil can't stand it."

"How to make a cold water tank that is lubricated and not damaged by high temperature!"

"I can only buy some glass wool. It can withstand a high temperature of 3,000 degrees and is as smooth as glass. It is a good choice."

Ross found a solution, and immediately ran to the computer excitedly, searched the phone number of the building materials market, called a store that sells glass wool, and asked him to deliver the goods to his door.

Half an hour later, dozens of kilograms of glass wool were delivered to the villa. After paying, Rose returned to the scientific research room with the materials.

After spending half an hour sticking the glass wool in the cooling tank, Ross rubbed his sleepy eyes and continued working.

Turn on the high-temperature furnace again, and the molten steel flows along the mirror-like smooth cold water tank. The water sprayed out by the nozzle is just enough to cool the temperature of the steel to about 1600 degrees. At this temperature, the steel is still liquid and can still flow.

Liquid steel flows obliquely along the cooling tank into the funnel above the 3D printer.

Ross started the 3D printer, and under the control of the program, the gradually hardened molten steel was squeezed out by the printer like toothpaste, forming a cylinder the size of a toothpick, which is the basic heating rod.

On the other side of the 3D printer, there is a plug with copper wires inside. After the plug inserts the copper wire into the heating element that has not completely hardened|hardened, the cutter on the 3D printer automatically cuts off the heating element that has not completely hardened|hardened and falls into the bucket.

The bucket was filled with cold water, and the heating rod fell into the cold water. After secondary cooling, the temperature dropped to several hundred degrees.

Wearing gloves, Ross fished out the completely cooled heat stick from the water.

The main body of this heating rod is well made, and its material is mixed metal material, which can heat up quickly and cool down quickly. The piece of copper wire inserted in the middle can make the heating rod generate high temperature as long as it is connected to the power supply.

The manufacturing process of the entire heating element is actually very simple. The material enters the high-temperature furnace and turns into steel. The molten steel passes through the cooling tank. After cooling down, it turns into liquid molten steel and enters the 3D printer. High temperature damage, it is under the control of the computer, can complete three working steps.

In the first step, molten steel is squeezed out like toothpaste to make the body of the heating rod. In the second step, copper wires are inserted into it as a battery core, which can be used to energize. The third step is the alloy cutting knife, which cuts off the rod body that is not very hard. After a few steps, the heating rod was successfully manufactured.

After turning off all the machines, Ross took the heating rod in the bucket to the instrument for testing.

After the power was turned on, the heating rod quickly heated up, and the effect met Rose's expectations. The lowest-tech heating element has been completed.

"My heart started to panic again...Damn! I planned to make a heating rod overnight, but it seems that I have to rest."

The heart attack was like a urging talisman, urging Rose to take a break. For the sake of his own life, Rose could only reluctantly stop working. Turn off all the machines and go back to bed.

In the early morning of the next day, Rose, who had slept for six hours, had recovered, and when his heart was not flustered, he was no different from usual.

Ross drilled into the scientific research room again and began to manufacture the power supply unit for the heating rod.

After the nano-titanium oxide and nano-silicon oxide are fully rolled with a press, the two materials are mixed and become more compact particles.

Ross poured the two materials into the 3D printer, changed the computer program, and changed the ports and nozzles of the printer. Under the action of chemicals, the two materials became as soft as mud again.

The 3D printer, like a drawing, extrudes the two materials to make a one-centimeter-long, toothpick-sized round battery, and another port inserts the piezoelectric material the size of a rice grain | into the battery that is still completely solidified.

A simple yet technological power supply unit was successfully produced.

Ross excitedly picked up the tiny power supply unit and went to test it again.

After this miniature power supply device adopts two kinds of nanometer materials, the capacity discharge capacity is greatly improved.

The rice grain-sized piezoelectric device inside is made of piezoelectric ceramics, and its working principle is the same as that of ordinary plastic lighters. As long as the lighter is pressed, the piezoelectric device inside can convert mechanical energy and electrical energy into each other. However, plastic lighters use electrons, and the electricity inside is very scarce, while Ross uses micro-nano material batteries, which have countless times the capacity of lighters.

I can't wait to make a successful micro power supply device, just like screwing a screw, after screwing on the heating element, a successful heating rod has been manufactured.

After Ross plugged the heating rod into a special charger, it had already charged 0.3 kWh in about three minutes.

Ross was very excited, picked up the heating rod, and after pressing the button at the end of the power supply unit, there was a click, and the current was released, and the body heat of the heating rod had already generated a high temperature. Ross couldn't wait to throw the heating rod into a glass bottle.

In less than a minute, the water in the glass bottle was already steaming, and the heating rod had completely heated the cold water.

"Successful, I succeeded."

Ross couldn't help but scream in excitement.

"Let Sister Li see the benefits of this thing."

After Ross produced a few heating rods, he turned off all the machines, carried the heating rods, and happily went downstairs.
