I'm dealing with sheet resistance which changes rapidly based on how far apart the source and drain are and I am afraid berkeman might be correct about me measuring resistance under different conditions. I won't be able to play with it again until Monday, but I'll tinker with it then and report...

I'm afraid I can't post a picture as the heating element itself is proprietary, but I'm using a sourcemeter alternatively set to 12V or 1A. This is connected to a thin sheet resistor which serves as the heating element. When the sourcemeter is turned on, the resistor begins to smolder where...

I am constructing a resistive heater that I plan to operate using a standard car battery. Resistance has been measured at about 1 kilohm, but whenever I hook up the battery, the wire begins to smoke at the source, but the element does not actually see any temperature rise. With resistive...
