Thread: Pyro Burners

Gregg,
Try Sue Walters website (Aus) I think it will answer your problems. It also has other information and material that I am sure you will find more than useful. There are of course others that supply the pens and wire. You can also buy nicro (I think) wire from electronics shops, like Dick Smith that can be used to make your own nibs. Hope this helps. Drillit.

thanks Drillit - I'll give it a go!

Stuff you are looking for is Nichrome (nickel chrome) wire. It is the wire used in most semiflexible electrical heater elements, (radiators, old style kettles, toasters etc). Generally available from electronics shops in a single size, which may be too small for your application.

As an alternative, if you know a sparky, you may be able to get a fried hot water water heater element for nix which should give you a good supply of medium size wire.

If you need larger still, you would need to track down a wholesaler.

Gregg I am waiting on a answer on the same topic from a friend of mine, he is the sales manager for a international electronics supply comp. I will let you know the out come.
