A quick update:

I'm still building the simulator. I picked up a couple of power terminals, and I'll be using pieces of a hacksaw blade to route the power in and out of the tube. Nuts and bolts will secure the hot wire inside.

I lined the inside with a steel wire, and used JB weld to secure it. I'll be able to use JB weld again to secure the ceramic tubes, and mount the wire. Then I'll add some aluminium tape to line part of the inside (just because I have it, and it's a cardboard tube). Then I can fire it up, and run some tests.

Pics later.
