Thank you thank you. I know hilarious.
I was hoping I could get some questions answered. I have a project I'd like to create and can't seem to find the direct answers to my questions online (or perhaps I'm just not smart enough to pull them together) so I thought I'd come here.
The Project: Id like to create a large heat mat, lets say 12x20ft. The heat doesn't need to be high at all, but would need to keep a temp of around 50 degrees regardless of the ambient influence.
It seems that Nichrome is a great resource for sending heat down a wire. My biggest question, how can I go about calculating how to keep a temp around the 50 degree mark based off of the determined length of wire and it's gauge?
I'd also like to utilize a battery to generate the power if possible.
Thanks and any feedback, opinions, guidance would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
