    Practical Guide to Using Ohm's Law for Heating Copper Wire

    ah yes, why didn't I think of that? I have an Ohmmeter in front of me. I will just test for the highest resistance. ASK

    Practical Guide to Using Ohm's Law for Heating Copper Wire

    Thanks but a steamer wouldn't get anywhere near the temp needed for the adhesive to fall apart. I also tried using a torch to heat the outside of the paneling and just ended up witha lot of scorched paneling. If the wire trick doesn't work, it is off to find way to hook up a big propane tank...

    Practical Guide to Using Ohm's Law for Heating Copper Wire

    VK6kro Thanks for the feedback. While I may not have those specific types of wire around the house, your points make a lot of sense: use something not meant to conduct well. I will try some various braided wires first and if they don't work, start looking around for the ones you mention...

    Practical Guide to Using Ohm's Law for Heating Copper Wire

    OK, Strange question, but I have a very practical, if simple, need to apply the Law. I need to heat a copper wire to several hundred degrees and I am trying to figure out a rough voltage and amperage to push through it. I am staring at...
