Steps
- First, you need your supplies. For this you will need resistance wire, a knitting needle, a tin can like a soup can), a piece of clay stem pipe for both ends, some wire and a 6v battery.
- Now to make the heater. First, get a can. I used a soup can but you can use any tin can.
- Get the resistance wire and wrap it round the knitting needle.
- Cut the soup can and insert the resistance wire and poke holes in the side of the can with the knitting needle.
- Now use the clay stem pipe to insulate both ends where the resistance wire sticks out.
- Attach wires to the end of the resistance wire element and attach the 6 volt battery to operate it.
Warnings
- Be careful with sharp objects and the edges of the cut tin along with touching the element when its on because you could burn yourself.
