 you can use headlamps from cars (30 amps, pretty much constant current) or a
high

Hi Bill,

If you use car headlights you will need ten of them at 120 volts or 20 at 240
volts, otherwise you´re gonna exceed their voltage rating and burn em out.
In the light of 20 car headlights you aren´t gonna see very much of your tc´s
sparks, either. Just a thought

BTW Greg: I agree with Charles thatyou shouldn´t emmerse the heating elements
in the same container your pig is in because of explosion hazzards and high
voltage arc overs (They don´t need a lot of voltage insulation in normal use).
I don´t know if pigs have a safety vent, but if they don´t, you will have a
small sharpnel bomb on your hands that could kill you as easily as the high
voltage from your pig or at least gash you up pretty badly.
