Abstract
A improved method and apparatus are provided for casting objects. The apparatus includes a molten metal or liquid retaining container with a bottom feed outlet, a casting chamber with a bottom feed inlet, and a connecting portion through which molten metal or liquid from the container portion flows into the casting mold. The melt flows from the melt container to the casting chamber through the hollow connecting portion by movement of the relative positions of the melt container and the casting chamber, allowing for a controlled casting method with a minimum of turbulence.
