Load testing my 50v power supply project, using a cheap hot water heater element in water (briefly, < 1 min). Dissipates about 350W. I’m thinking about mounting it into an empty paint can which can hold several gallons. Anyone know if mineral oil would be better than water for this?

@Geojoek yep, I was thinking oil might be able to sustain a higher temperature than 100C. It can, but not by much. This also doesn't need to be an insulator, of course (unlike an RF load).
