Here's a scientific question: if I have this heating element, which a coil meant for electric stoves and haters, and instead of applying electricity to it I apply direct heat to both ends, will it conduct the heat efficiently?
Will it become bright, red and incandescent all over if direct heat is applied to both ends, and only to the ends, let's say, with a small gas blow torch?

Of course this is sold everywhere and I can test it on my own. I just bought some of it (1500 W) so I can perform the test myself, but it'll take a while before it's delivered because in order to save money I bought it on-line from a site that's never quick to deliver.

Thank you!
