I started by using a copper wire.The lenth was about a foot.At one point it worked but the battery got hot and freaked me out.I'll take a ride today and let you know.Just to let you in on the project.I'm making RPG diffusers.Not perfect but the prototype works fine.
Project help
I would like to cut some two inch thick styrofoam for an audio project.I started with a wire saw and it not only was a mess but the cut looked terrible.My next thought was to make a wire saw(so-to-speak).This one was to be powered by ac or dc.The wire would heat up and I could cut without the mess.I tryed by using a battery and it heated up the battery and scared the heck out of me.I made the saw out of some four layer plywood with handles and I can apply tension to the wire with a mechanism on the back of the saw.It looks cool but sits cold.Help.
