I think it's a pretty simple case of dividing the resistance of the wire in to the output of the 16v power pack, or something like that...

I can work out the length, that's not the problem. Laurie (RAJAH) mentioned how in one of his old posts.
The problem was 'do I need all the do-hickeys' or can it be directly wired to the power supply, but you have answered that. You do it, so it must work
Oh, I looked up what a Pulse Wave Generator is. It works better than a potentiometer. A pot sucks some of the power making it like a resister, whereas a PWG doesn't. It turns the power on and off according to how you set it.
Now we both know
I'll give the power supply a try and see how I go, thanks Roger
