As I said, I'm currently examining the papers that Joe submitted. I'm aware that the problem is more complex than single contact temperature readings can solve. Specifically, we are stringing a guitar with high carbon steel wire and running a current through it. The guitar is plucked, producing...

#4, Regarding resistance, we'd really like to take temperature readings via thermometer or thermocouple, but we may not have a choice. I don't know what "tail chasing science" is. I'm reading through the papers mentioned in #5, and I'll get back to you. #6, the wire we're using is analogous to...

We are exploring alternative heating schemes. Multiple simultaneous thermocouple readings are not an option, and would likely just give simultaneously bad data. IR thermometers won't pick up temperature readings on a string this thin.

I'm new here, and I hope I'm posting this in the right place. My colleagues and I are trying to take the temperature of a steel wire as it's heated. We're heating it by putting a current through it. The problem we're encountering is that the thermocouple we're using to take the temperature of...
