Is it possible? I was thinking take a piece of 12" thickwall PVC pipe,
about 6" long, wrap #10 enamel coated wire around it in the standard variac
fashion, and  machine up some kind of rotor/brush assembly. Would this
work? Any special considerations? What kind of current will 10 AWG wire
handle at 240v in that application?
