today Jeff and Robert will use the lava
oven to find out what happens to liquid
rock when it collides with liquid water
they begin by melting 800 pounds of
basalt rock the start out is
quarter-inch gravel and we see later and
dump it out it’ll be lava that pours out
at somewhere between 2050 to 2100
degrees Fahrenheit just as it does in
nature there’s no difference what I’m
working when I hadda leathers on I’m up
there working with lava it is an amazing
feeling just before the lava tips out of
the furnace is just really an exciting
and pregnant moment
this is remarkable you see it fabulous
convection in there I’m constantly
seduced by the intensity of the orange
and even as it’s cooling the thing still
moves it breathes it inflates
it finds some limit it deflates as it
breaks out it’ll do this over and over
and over but today they see something
unusual
almost every flow that we do I can tell
you 90% of what’s gonna happen today I
was caught off guard farlap experiment
today illustrates how rapidly heat can
be transferred from lava and for that
water that we transformed to steam and
of course as steam is produced water
molecules spread out in a space that
takes up a thousand more time space than
in water as it does so energy is
released the pressure release during
drilling could cause water running deep
underground to rapidly boil and expand
not even rock can contain the explosive
expansion of water flash boiled by magma
the escaping gas would rip to the
surface in a man-made phreatomagmatic
eruptions
