Thermocouple Lace Making
Weaving dissimilar metal wires (copper, bronze, nichrome, steel) into lace-like textile patterns using bobbin lace or tatting techniques, where each junction forms a thermocouple node. The finished textile functions as both decorative metalwork and a distributed temperature sensor array with spatially encoded readout.

Thermocouple Lace MakingBreathed on the lace, got 3.2 microvolts on the oscilloscope. Every junction where copper crosses bronze is a thermocouple. This was supposed to be decorative.
