This was another project that went off at a tangent and ended up being quite interesting.

It lets you make low power customised heating pads that run at low voltage. They could be used to keep stuff from freezing up, and maybe even be solar powered.

I also felt the need to test it to destruction by increasing the voltage/power.

Making custom heater pads and then destroying one

Copying the Chinese for a change. (assuming they didn't copy someone else.) While laminating carbon fibre electrodes onto some experimental membranes, I decided to have a go at making some heater pads based on laminated carbon fibre tissue with copper electrodes. It's a technique I've seen used in many imported low power heating products, and it seems to work pretty well. There's huge scope to customise the shape, area and heat level. I then decided to test one to destruction to see how it fared.
