Electric arc furnace. Plasma or electric arc furnace in operation. The furnace works by passing an electric arc between graphite electrodes in a vaccum. This acts like a lightning bolt,heating up materials placed between the electrodes as it passes through them. Temperatures of thousands of degrees celsius can be achieved,enough to melt metals.
