This video needs a massive - Don't Try This at Home - disclaimer.
That's in spite of the fact that the entire video is telling you how you can exactly do that - melt metal at home.
The procedure is interesting...
- use insulating ceramic wool to shape an insulating chamber
- wrap the insulating chamber in kapton tape
- polish the surfaces of the ceramic wool
- 'paint' the surfaces with kiln wash
- make a crucible from silicon carbide
- ???
- profit!
