Question

Hot enough to melt aluminum ore?

Answer 1

With char coal approximatly 1200 °C.
"Hot enough to melt aluminum ore?" In ancient times they made iron this way. The melting point of Al is below, but you will have problems to melt Al this way. Al burns (???).

Perhaps I missunderstood you. Do you mean (Al-ore) look at () mathematical. There is no Al-ore. They produce Al from Bauxit , like Natrium from NaCl. You need a save athmosphere an a lot of electricty.

Answer 2

I will look at this differently than pinata but he is correct.

A bellows get a fire hotter by adding more oxygen to the fire. At the interface between the hot coals and the air there is a limit to how hot it can get because oxygen is in short supply. By blowing on the fire you add more oxygen, allowing the fire to burn hotter.
