Hey DIY,
My first thread/post ever so I hope I didn't fuck anything up. So I'm trying to create a synthetic ruby using the flame fusion (Verneuill process) method. I was thinking of useing a Oxy-hydrogen torch for melting as well as using the purest materials I could find. I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with flame fusion. I'm also looking for a way to make a hopper for the alumina but I have no idea how to tackle this. So I'd like to hear what you guys think (and if its even doable)

Do we really have to post this in every fucking thread?

Hi! I see you've posted your forced meme in a valid thread again! As a proud member of the /diy/ community, I appreciate your concern and efforts to self moderate, and on appropriate threads I applaud it. However you seem to have misread the OP in this case and gone ahead and posted it in response to a perfectly acceptable thread. Whoopsie! Remember that as long as the thread isn't breaking any rules and isn't obviously bait, you should rather just ignore/hide it if you don't like it. Thanks for making /diy/ a better place!

Look at grain and flour silos and how they feed into trucks should be good enough.
As for the flame wouldnt that blow a bunch of the powder away? Ive no real knowledge about what your doing but im sure going with a element in a circle and dropping the powder in the middle might be a better idea
Is this legitimately a way to make rubys? And whats plans do you have for them afterwards?

Hopefully this link works.
This book has some wonderful outlines of industrial processes.
I was under the impression that this process needed some amount of pressure/ contianment. Pic related though i imagine this is upside down from when it was made

Op here
It is a legitimate way to make rubys however people often say its not really doable. As for the flame i saw it recomended somewhere so i think it should work. I can ask an experienced welder in a couple days so ill double check it!
