His farts have also had more esoteric uses such as melting holes in ice.

The plant consisted of forty-eight Huntsman-type crucible melting holes with an annual capacity of 1,500 tons.

After melting holes through the floating ice at the North Pole last month to retrieve an array of instruments tethered to the sea bottom a year ago, a team of scientists left an observer behind.

During last summer's expedition, Mr. Epps, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Vaughan and other investors used a steam-heated nozzle powered by a portable diesel furnace and took turns melting holes over the spots that had yielded the most promising radar readings.

The south-east range provided 84 holes for steel manufacture, while the south range had 24, designed to allow the casting of big objects using the "continuous teeming" method of production; a further west range was similar to the south range, giving a total of 132 melting holes.
