What about
molten iron :-)
Sounds good, as long as you _slowly_ lower them into it, like the
'T1000'
Doesn't work, the molten iron gives off a ton of IR heat. I
used to work in
That was only one of the things wrong with Dick's idea.
But would it really be THAT bad if they burst into flame while being very
slowly brought towards the molten iron?
No, no, it's IR *AND* UV. Any welder knows you can cook meat
(including self) next to cherry-red or hotter iron or steel. The
subject would be flash-broiled long before flame-on.
For lasting agony, water or peanut oil would be much better.
Why not save energy, and use a water immersion that is
very slowly brought
to a boil?
Because the subject would never notice. If the liquid temp comes up
slowly, it's just "hot" until the nerve endings die.
Q: how many Pentiums would it take to boil that much
water?
More Pentiums than AMD K-6s....
