I heard they just developed a new furnace that burns rocks. Just fill
it with rocks, chunks of concrete, gravel, or sand and it will burn
them and heat the average home on about a ton of rocks for an entire
winter. That sounds like a cheap fuel. Does anyone know how they
would get the rocks to burn? Thats the part I cant figure out.

Not every rock. The rocks that burn are called "coal."

They light fairly easily with charcoal lighter fluid.

I have a bridge in Brooklyn that I would be happy to sell you, too.

Typically found in new construction churches. They don't burn, they
cleft. Actually, they sing about it "Rock of ages.... cleft for
me....."

They used to have these back in the fifties. "Rock, rock, rock, around
the clock tonight..."

Try burning some Mormons, they're pretty dense, so they last.

Italians are better, all that grease and oil.

OK folks. Here's how you burn a Mormon :-0 Or an Italian.

Theoretically you could burn rocks if you could get the temperature
high enough as for example an electrical arc.

Are they flammable? Does your head ever burst into flames?

I've sometimes wished I could make bad drivers burst into flames.

Afraid not. Rocks are already burnt. Millions of years ago in a
nuclear furnace some of them. You could melt them maybe.

Troll!
Just think of the amount of energy that would have to be used to melt
a rock.
Where would it come from?
Burning other material, or using electricity to create an arc. Costly
eh?
Now if one lived on the edge of a volcano in say, Iceland, and it
doesn't kill you in the process, and you could get heat from the
melted rocks (lava) from that natural furnace, the earth's core, or
the hot water/steam produced thereby ................ well that'd be
free; sorta.

All the rocks on earth were once gas, then liquid and then finally
solid. (Igneous rocks ) When the earth developed an atmosphere the
eaffects of weather pulverised the igbneous rocks and formed
sedimentary rocks and also metamorphic rocks. Did you ever go to
school?
The onlt rock that burns (Not actually rock) are the fossil fuels
containing carbon (buried sunlight).
Rock is commonly melted to make mineral wool insulaltion and to
extract metals from ores.

By the way, Harry, do you realize that when you "edit" a post in Google
Groups, as you did here, that *both* of your posts actually show up on
Usenet, not just the "edited" one?

But of course you'd never know that if you only use Google Groups to
read this newsgroup.

Yet another reason to hate Google's brain-dead implementation of their
spam-portal web interface to Usenet ...

If I dig up the "buried sunlight" can I throw parties in my back yard
without using the deck lights?

I'm thinking that there would be less mosquitoes that way.

I have a furnace that can use ANYTHING as fuel. OK, not ENTIRTELY
anything, it there are some exceptions like nuclear waste.

This furnace is only imaginary. You have to BELIEVE you're warm.
