Utilizing my forced induction wood combustion invention to melt Silver and Niobium in the open air. Benefits: Very high temperatures with blue and ultraviolet flame. Inexpensive as it only uses pumped air and large pine logs as fuel. A concentrated heat output above 160,000btu's

@libsoftiktok Reminded me of this post: "When I told my father I was going to marry Jake he said, ‘If you marry that man you will never set foot in this house again.’⁣ ⁣ He was horrified that I could contemplate marrying a black man, and I soon learned that most people felt the same way.
