This discussion focuses on determining the appropriate wire length and diameter for a resistive heating element powered by 9V, aiming to reach temperatures of 400°C to 1000°C. Users mention using nichrome or kanthal A1 wire and emphasize the need for sufficient power to achieve high temperatures. Key considerations include wire size, length, number of turns, and the effectiveness of thermal insulation. The conversation highlights the importance of calculating desired wattage and suggests that a 9V battery may not provide enough energy for such high-temperature applications.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for hobbyists, engineers, and researchers involved in designing high-temperature resistive heating elements or furnaces, as well as those exploring alternative heating methods.
