Baeksan's Traditional Kiln
Patent Number : 10-1457987
Pottery is born from the coming together of earth and fire. Clay is sculpted into various shapes, glazed over, and placed into a traditional kiln in which it is baked for a long time to eventually become pottery of beautiful shapes and colors. The focus today is on the kiln. In the 12th century, people shaped earth into bricks, baked them, and used the very bricks to build an oven, which was eventually used to bake pottery. However, brick kilns made of earth eventually broke down due to the repeated process of expansion and contraction from the heat and direct contact with fire which created holes. There is much evidence of constantly having moved around these kilns back in the days. It is likely that kilns were repositioned every 4 to 5 years. Nowadays, kilns are created by hardening the ground and stacking up fire bricks on top of it. One disadvantage, however, is that it takes a lot of time and fuel to heat up such kilns. Additionally, the kiln does not expand and contract evenly throughout, causing cracks and damages that occur from high heat. The earth ground creates humidity. Such factors reduce the likelihood of ending up with high quality pottery. There are five disadvantages to using traditional kilns: first, the low probability of success; second, the high cost of fuel; third, the length of time it takes; fourth, the vulnerability to external factors and seasonal changes; and lastly, its inefficiency due to its lack of scientific application. Potters could not freely utilize traditional kilns for these reasons. In order to solve these issues, I have worked hard since 1999 to identify and resolve the problems associated with traditional kilns. In 2013, I applied for an invention patent on my technology that enhanced the weaknesses and problems of traditional kilns and in 2014, acquired the patent. I would now like to talk about the technology I acquired the patent for in detail. First, traditional kilns did not have a proper door. If the door is too small,
