| Heated wire...help my boyscout
Ok, I hope you guys/gals can help. My son is in the scouts and for some odd reason is interested in starting a worm farm. The problem is that it's pretty cold where I live. What I'd like to do is to run a heated wire from a standard 120V household socket to under the worm bed. I know a little bit about resistance but have not been able to figure it out. I would prefer not to have to spend an arm and a leg on Nichrome wire but if that's all I can use it's ok. I'm not electrically inclined so the simpler the better. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance. |
