RE: Smelting Iron Ore
So how are you going to regulate the airflow with the air-mattress inflator? You could make a variable plugin with an old style dimmer switch, that could help to regulate the airflow.
The air turbulent (in terms of flow properties) when it comes out of the nozzle which gives it a cone like spread. I can simply move the compressor away from the air inlet to lower the air inflow. Additionally, I can simply shift it left or right so some of the air just misses the tuyere.
Ok, I could see that, I've piddled around a couple blacksmith's forges. They seem to prefer swells in temp to a completely constant flow.
