Lightweight heater generates high temperatures from low current

Double spiral molybdenum heater element uses low current, needs no insulation, and requires support only at the ends, which are also the power input points. Because there is no insulation or internal support necessary, the heater is lightweight. Its temperature potential will vary with its size and environment.
