    Although I can't say it has made any difference to my designs, I now think a bit more about parasitic properties. Sometimes I even measure them out of curiosity or to see if they might be significant.

    I think you just have cracked cooling problem of iron man suit in upper atmosphere. He might have used this resistor setup to heat up the suit. -- | |-- PEW PEW / \

    I recently considered using resistors as a way to heat a small project.

    Which also had me dealing with another feature of resistors that I had never thought of much in the past - wattage ratings.

     

    By using resistors, I could include the (small) heat source on the same PCB as the rest of the circuit.
