You will never fully understand how you saved my life by making this video. I saved my prototype because of you.

When you say power supply, does that mean a 12V battery would work also?
Or what kind of power supply would you recommend?

the way fatman sits there staring the whole time he should change his name to "creeper guy" You could have "Circuit Girl and Creeper Guy"

@jeriellsworth When you say "power supply" do you mean, like a battery charger?
-
@jeriellsworth How thick is the plexiglass you are using in the vid?

Thanks
Last night I connected a titanium wire up to my 24 vdc solar battery and used it to stretch a ABS megaphone with 70 amps of current passing through the wire.
It worked ok
I prefer lexan when I build prototypes. Acrylic is smelly and to brittle for me.
I am glad I'm not the only one who goes beyond

How exactly do you heat up the wire?

@looklikeaflip It's a resistance wire and you run a current through it from a power supply or variac.

@jeriellsworth I see...Do you think your method could bend .093 lexan/polycarbonate? Great video BTW! Make one on how to cut plastic by hand!
looklikeaflip 11 months ago
@looklikeaflip I think it will. Be careful Lexan gets little bubbles if it gets too warm. It can also be bent in a sheet metal break too!

@thewii552 I can't remember. It was probably 8 months into the show. I burned my camera stand with that. :)
