Heaters that are commercially available — with a filament and salt, or bulky, or too powerful.
 
 
“Semiconductor” heater:
 
1 — wire bracket, 2 — tube, 3 — sand, 4 — tube, 5 — resistor, 6 — power cord with plug.

 
Within a few minutes you can make a “heating” coal resistors type MLT, VS-2, MT-2, etc. with a capacity of 2 watts. They are inserted into the glass tube, the ends are attached to power cord with plug and close the vial stopper. The power of the heater can be more than 20 watts.
