Watch out for those americans that want to come to Canada because they don't like the new Obama health care that was upheld in court. They may fit right in with Harper...

(This is not a political post, but rather amusement from everything in the news recently about the tweets and facebook posts from americans in response to their dislike for free health care).

That 200ft coil would be a PERFECT match to a Radioisotope thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I mean 60ish watts of vaping power, and you'll never have to recharge for around 10 years. Of course, radiation poisoning could be an issue, but who wouldn't take that over never having to recharge a battery!

I can just see it now...... The coil looking like 3 meters (10 feet for the metrically challenged) of slinkies; an olympic size swimming pool filled with what....? somebody pick the approbate juice to fill the swimming pool, I'm busy building the mother of all mods. Next an overhead crane to lower the coil into the pool and (drum roll please) a hermetically sealed tent covering everything with a pipe back where...? Sussex Drive, the site house...?

Awesome

:laugh:

That sucks. I think we've all done it.

First thing I do is put a rubber band around the spool.

Oh yeah,I`m golden for rebuildables...enough 32 and 34 to go around my house a few times,enough silica wick to hang`em high and enough 400 mesh to cover a new screen door

I was thinking about playing with Kanthal a few weeks back. I found a local vendor that had it for about $90 per 1lb spool. My research indicates that comes out to approx 12,000 feet. A bit more then I will ever need so I think I will go the fleabay route as well.

My 200ft of kanthal just decided to unwind itself on my desktop.

Sorry,felt i needed to share and no pics...too mad and busy finding the end of that %$#&^ wire mess.

I blame Steven harper

My 75ft roll did the same thing last week. I just said F it and cut it into 3" (easier for my stubby fingers) chunks and wasted about 1 ft of it

Thanks martin. I have also been considering natural bamboo or cotton. I have been trying to avoid silica and fiberglass wick. Can't wait until Ody arrives in the mail. :)

I have a lot of natural bamboo yarn right here,havent yet come around using it but will eventually will....its too small,need to be braided or used with multiple strands (size 10,way too small)
