Ive been thinking a little about extending roast times with popcorn makers. The one I have now does decent times, not too quick, but I know its not going to last forever. Hopefully someone out there with a little more electrical experience/theory can help with the specifics.
If I was to plug in a popcorn maker to a long, say 10metre plus, maybe 15 or 20m, extension cord, how much of a voltage drop could I expect at the popcorn maker, and how much difference to the temperature of the heating element would this make?
I know that I would need to make sure the cord was not rolled up while I used it.
Maybe its just time to go and get my multimeter and check it for myself.
Anyone got any thoughts?
