A hot wire foam cutter made from a #10 guitar string, a 24V/2A transformer, and a dimmer switch. A compression spring held by washers on a screw keep the wire constantly taught as it heats.
Can you better describe the #10 guitar string in electrical terms? Like is it just a steel wire? If so, what is the diameter? I would assume that if I put 24 VAC across any steel wire, it would pull all the current the transformer could provide, and lower the operating voltage well below 24 volts, and pull more than 2 amps, ruining the transformer in short order.
MrJaklein using a guitar string worked great for me, thank you for this video. I just cut the nose off of my redbull edge 540 foamplane using a guitarstring, after seeing your video. I just used a portable jumpstarter and it cut like a worm knife through butter and it made a very clean cut so thanks again : )

@MIRCWOOD How you hook it up? I mean the negative and positve from the jumpstarter to the string.

Great video!
How warm does the string get? And do you get a full 12V - 2amp shock if you accidently touch the string?

you use 24volts with 2 amps
is 12 volts with 1,5 amps also good??
