I certainly would not attempt to use a small arc furnace to heat the air inside the balloon! Apart from this, perhaps rods made out of titanium would be an ideal material to use if using a Jacob's Ladder device that doesn't generate as much heat as an arc furnace. Titanium rods would probably last a long time I figure. | |
