A coil was made from 1.5 mil² power lead. The phase was bridged to the neutral in a terminal block and 24 Volts 150 Amps was applied. The copper wiring outside the ice block melted off, and cable went open circuit. Project Failed.
It still smoked a bit. I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor) All the 8 parts put together as the long file did not want to upload in one go.
