Title: Where's the element on a Beadcube?
Post by: helbels on March 26, 2011, 06:41:16 AM
Is the element in the Beadcube at the top or bottom?  I had better results with Terranova overnight, but some beads still struck more than others and I am guessing it may have been the ones nearest the element.

O.K. then, the elements actually wraps all around the chamber of the bead cube.
It is one long element and when it is installed there is only a few milimeters between each wrap.

If you look carefully at the interior of the Cube you can sometimes make out the "ribs" that hold the element and it is then clear to see just how close the elements are.

With the elements being so close it effectively turns the whole of the floor, sides and roof a hot plate.

There is no heat in the rear wall or door.
