Don't those have to be quite large in order to be effective?
I am considering testing out a glass tube filled with a solution of
saltwater (maybe like a ratio of  1 liter of water to .1 gram of salt), and
then using aluminum bolts in rubber stoppers at each end. I'll try and do
some testing with these at around 2kW and we'll see how they hold up.... man
i need a infrared thermometer.
My 1 cent...
