Is it safe to breathe in the fumes from heated copper wire?
Hot copper wire gives off no fumes.However if you are talking about insulated copper wire, the insulation will give off fumes. Depending on the type of insulation it can be anywhere from totally safe to deadly!
What does just off the boil mean?
I think you mean 'boil off' not 'off boil' and by this the recipe or person, etc, means to boil off something such as all of the oil in the foods so that it is not greasy when you get the result. ~Singer
What wire is required for a 60A sub panel off a 150A main service?
A #6 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 65 amps.
Where soft drawn copper wire use?
When copper is cooled (at practically any rate) from its molten form to solid form, it naturally has a cubic crystal structure that makes it soft and easily bent. However, whenever the metal is bent, formed, or worked in when in its solid state, changes are made in its crystal structure that cause the metal to become stronger and stiffer. When copper wire is made by the "drawing" process, solid rods of copper are pulled through ever smaller dies (forms) until the desired size is made. This process causes the originally soft copper to become hard. Thus "hard drawn copper wire" is the wire as it naturally used to come off the mill. Nowadays, most copper wire is actually heat treated (at roughly one half its melting point) at the end of the drawing process to make it soft again so that it can be easily handled by electricians and builders.
What gauge wire to run 40 amp 220 volt circuit 60 feet in residence?
first off. it has to be UF type wire, and is usually 12 gauge or 10, depending what you are using it for.

What is the fastest way to strip copper out of plastic?
Burn it off, But not to hot.
How do you get copper out of wire?
Generally speaking, the copper is the wire. If it is coated, it can be stripped in small sections, but if you need to get rid of a large amount of plastic insulation, you will have to find some safe way to burn it off. Safe, in this context, means in a place where the fumes ( which are toxic ) won't bother anyone, and the metal can be removed without danger- preferably after it has cooled.
Is burning copper wire illegal?
If you burn off the insulation from insulated wire to make clean copper scrap the only problem is that starting that kind of trash fire may not be permitted. It is not the presence of copper itself that would be illegal.
If you used nitric acid to dissolve copper how could you remove the copper nitrate?
Heat the liquid to boil off excess water and the copper nitrate will crystalise out of the solution as it cools. Then filter to separate the crystals from the liquid.
What is a twisty tie made of?
a twist-tie is a small wire with a plastic covering on it. you can actually take off the plastic (if you really want to) and you can see the wire. careful, it can hurt if you poke yourself with it.
Are you supposed to take off the plastic around the wire above the grip on a violin bow?
no
How can i melt plastic off copper wire?
I am building a house and recently burned a pile of scrap lumber. We found several nicely cleaned copper wires in the ashes and relized we had inadvertently thrown in a couple short lengths of plastic wrapped wiring. It was nicely cleaned and this method might work well for you if you are talking about a small volume of wire. Not very technical, but successful! I think the melting plastic could release harmful vapors so I wouldn't recommend doing this with large volumes of wire without addition research or comments from an expert! Good Luck!

Why does recipes for blackcurrant jam tell you to boil the fruit in copper or glass pans not iron pans?
because using the iron pan will give / send off more hydrogen gas than copper / glass

How can you tell when the copper has reacted completely and the excess sulfur is burned off?
We can assume the copper wire has reacted completely with excess sulfur being burned off when there is no longer any traces of yellow color sulfur in the crucible.
