Question:

Can I cut down an electric blanket into a smaller heat pad?

I want to cut down a single electric blanket into something a fifth of the size. That means shortening the heating wire. Will this cause it to overheat? Do I need to do something to the controller?

Answer:

I've never heard of this before, but anything is possible. Replace the battery in the smoke detector, if that doesn't solve it, try buying a new smoke detector, they are usually less than $10. It might just be a coincidence that you replaced the bulb and the detector went bad.
You can try to clean them with q tips and alcohol. If that does not work then they are trash, go buy some new ones.
It was the main cause of the great depression in 1930s,but not in 2009. In 2009, the main cause was a property bubble due mainly to wrong policy.
