  • Cool idea.

  • If you twist it tight, fold it in half, twist again, then pound it flat, works pretty well.

  • Yes, this is the video I stole... er... um... "borrowed" the idea from.

    Within a few days of seeing this video, I dropped by Lowe's and bought me one of these tubes.

    You may hve to double or triple up on the wires and run it through a piece of clear tubing, but I think it should work quite nicely.

    This is a very slick idea, I will need to show you how I flattened it.

  • I like the tube idea.

  • nice find ... suspect you will find your custom made wire gets a little hot though ... stainless aint the best of conductors ... the way most get around it is to use a pretty heavy duty hunk of stainless sheet bent to fit as a lead ... that way, it can handle the amps without getting so darn hot ... but let us know how your "make it work" works out ...

  • What I ended up doing was clamping one end to a vice, and the other to my drill, stretched it out, and twisted it. I ran it at about 20 amps for about 30 min. and it seemed to hold up well.

  • I drew it flat by pulling it through the loop of an adjustable wrench laid flat on the floor and being stepped on.

    Makes a very nice flat conductor.
