JB, I may have missed some of the mail on this.  What kind of wire were you
thinking?  How about nicrome?  We used to use that to electronically set off
our model rockets in the old days instead of the "igniters" which were just
nicrome wire with some extra burning stuff.  I don;t know the resistance per
foot.  But, it was significant.
