Heating element for Arduino circuit?
Hello everyone, another question!
I am working on an Arduino Uno powered thermostat/ liquid heater. I would like to know if anyone knows how to make a 5v fully submersible heating element or the likes. I am connecting it to a relay that will switch on and heat the liquid inside a container when the temp drops below 30 degrees C. Any Ideas?

Use a Dale metal clad resistor. After soldering the wires, put a spray coat to avoid passing current through the milk.
When you can answer Steve's comment we can tell which Dale might work.
BTW you should pick one best answer for all these questions.....

I've got some very useful PTFE insulated Nichrome wire for a project at work, which would be ideal.

Hire yourself out as an electronic consultant, so much a month weather they use you or not, then if you have to research a project that is added per hour spent.

That's a great Idea, but this 16 year old makes earns his bread as a builder/artist. I'll have the funds, but I am also having to earn $1500 by this March to travel to Peru!

I do like your hand drawing art and recognize the top left waterfall, but can not remember where.
Have a good time in Peru.

About 5v from an Arduino Uno. Also, should I go with a $5 ebay version, or the real deal?

Yes. Get some idea of what power you need, like we said in your other question.
