Im trying to make a 12 V Battery operated heater with a fan. When i connect a heating element, everythign else shuts down. When I connect a resistor in series with the element, everythig else stays on, but the resistor heats up and the element does not. Any ideas what i could be doing wrong.
Also, I was using a coil as my heating element, does anyone have any other ideas as to what i could use as a heating element. Id like to keep it under 5W.
