I was once in someone’s homemade sauna (he was a materials engineering professor, so I had high hopes for safety, but I probably wouldn’t do it again) that was basically a structure around a superheated pipe like this.
Yeah srsly, how. Its so evenly, if its not a liquid iron pipeline i cannot phantom how this happens except Photoshop. Eletric stuff is usually bolts or cables, most gas stuff isn't that hot, maybe some chemical piping but i don't know enough about chemical processing to actually guess.
Using a Google image search I found that this version of the image was apparently cropped and flipped from an older one:
Then, using Tineye I found that that version of the image was posted a bunch around 2008. One of the places it appeared was this gizmodo article which is 404'd today but was saved in the internet archive:
That article says its a form of decorative interior lighting, so I would guess that this is a colored fiberglass pipe with some kind of light inside it. Given that it was 2008 it might've even been a fluorescent tube.

Obviously it's highlighted because I'm supposed to interact with it

One answer probably is 1200 °C - 1300 °C (2200 °F - 2375 °F).

All the other pipes go into cut outs while the glowy one is mounted flush to a smokeless, unburned wall. Is it a funny shaped light?
EvolvedTurtle@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 1y
Ya know That's a good theory
Edit: I looked up light up pipe and I just got a weed pipe lmao

Man now I wanna troll people like this. Anyone know if it's illegal to do that on a mechanical floor?

anyone got the image of that red-hot bolt in an electrical cabinet that looks like gummy candy?

Lmao yeah that looks a tad spicy
Lemmine@feddit.org · 27 pts · 1y
this one?
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de · 7 pts · 1y
Not quite, but same kinda thing! IIRC it was specifically a still image, perhaps even properly meme-formatted

Oh lord, that caption gave me chills. Imagine touching that device.

As someone with 0 electrical knowledge past high school, this is fucking frightening...

Somebody used the wrong rated fuse

I just realized Lemmy doesn't yet have a "Forbidden Snacks" community.

That looks nsfw
Spacehooks@reddthat.com · 16 pts · 1y
And possibly NSFL
Valmond@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y
Remember, do not touch the pipe.
Spacehooks@reddthat.com · 8 pts · 1y
I'm afraid to go near it. Just looking looks dangerous.

that actually sounds like a safe-ish way to do a sauna!

Pipe integrated heating

Brace yourselves, the "integrated heating" memes are coming!
(Maybe as much as one or two more!!)

Oxygen Not Included 2 looks cool

That does not look like an optimal sub at all

I wonder how long you could stand next to it before you got a sunburn.

As long as it's still yellow there shouldn't be much uv

That makes so much more sense, thank you for your time!

Luminophores have to be transported in glass pipes to avoid reactions and improve factory æsthetics.
Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 1y
The water being transported was hot enough to make the pipe glow.
riodoro1@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 1y
You know what water does when it’s this hot? It’s definitely not „being transported”
