can a thermocouple be fabricated manmade? i.e at my home
Agree. You can also use a propane or MAPP torch to melt the twisted wires together. Spot welding or TIG welding quickly melt the wires, without melting the wires' insulation.Actually, just twisting the wires together will work - but not very reliably!
