So what am I missing here? I wanted to make a better tool other than my solder gun
so I took a coil off a 19 inch double it up wrapped it with electrical tape add a power cord to it.
While it didn't blow a fuse immediately when I plugged it it it was smoking in seconds and super hot!!
How to make one that works like the coils they sell? Do I need a resistor in there?
I am still smelling the magical smell of burn electronics.... Am an still feeling the heat in my hand! I threw the coil on the basement floor cause that sucker was hot!! The tape was so plyaale (and melting!)
