Heat treating by radiation
Badger:
If someone could build a flexible radiant heater that could be adjusted to any shape I bet we would all get one.
DC:
I can bend mine slightly to compensate for reflex but too many bends will probably break it. It's only 2" wide so sideways stuff is a problem. I don't want to jump all over simk's post but I've had this in the back of my mind for quite awhile and maybe many minds can come up with a solution. I hang mine from chains so i can just hook it in different links to vary the height.
Simk, you mentioned that yours is too short. How short do they come? Maybe two or three of them end to end might be a solution. Mine is pretty critical of height/distance above the bow. Having them hung by chains I also thought that maybe a mechanism that would swing the heaters lengthwise would even out any hot spots. I tried just swinging it but it only goes for a few seconds.
Anyway here's mine.
Russ:
I dont know if i can find a 20$ one like you simk!
DC:
Best I can find is $100-$200
simk:
quick update before work: when i first looked the www. the price range was chf 150-250. i found one for around chf 70.-
when i went to the big store there was this absolute white label product from china for chf 19.95
i also was offered a second hand radiator for chf 25
IMPORTANT: MINE HAS ONLY 1200W (checked again - sorry) AND ITS PLENTY SUFFICIENT
cheers
