Can this above rubbish go please?--DaveDodgy (talk) 15:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Highest resistivity?

What's the highest resistivity resistance wire available? I know you can get wirewound resistors used for high voltage 'ballast' resistors in gas LASERs that are in the 100's of KΩ. So what are they made of? Or are they just normal resistance wire but ULTRA thin ?

When making a heating element, would a higher resistivity resistance wire be more efficient? And therefore drain a battery LESS, to provide the same amount of heat? --DaveDodgy (talk) 15:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
