ok, my bad - 12v gate should be plenty - i think you're right it must be the current draw. my MOSFET (FDB8832) is rated for 30V, 80A...

now you're cooking! my mosfet does not get hot - do you have control of the voltage to the gate? get it above 5v and it should run at...

Im bak and made a new version with the 4mm nichrome ribbon around a 14mm tube at about 0.4 ohms. Also the ptfe arrived and works...

hey! here I am again... after a forced 3 month break. My knee pain bothered me for a long time. I only did exercises twice to improve...

the nichrome80 ribbon i use is: 1/8 width (approx 3mm) x 0.0113 thick (29AWG) x 12.375" long. 0.3841 ohms/ft. @ Pelican Wire Co.

Slow start to work so with the 4mm nichrome sitting there next to the mod i decided to retry my little mod experiment. I imagine this...

Not much happened this weekend - a few replacement pico's arrived otherwise still waiting for various width nichrome wire - i thought...

i avoid aluminum and titanium oxide. polyimide is as toxic as i want to get. ptfe should be ok. when i started my project there was a...

i had/tried one of those cutters - not worth the $10. i used i high quality scorer (from spouse's stash) and clamped it to a board with...

check YouTube for glass tube cutting - may give you some ideas. i have some mention of my technique in my long thread - don't know...
