Large wattage resistors are quite expensive and I am always needing
different values in the 1-20 ohm range.

Can anyone tell me the best way to make a 100W resistor out of found
or inexpensive materials as in homemade construction? Something with a
sliding tap to adjust resistance would be handy.

A light dimmer?


Do you mean "rheostat" If so, yes, that would be a good thing to
hunt up on E-Bay as well.
