I agree about using commonly available metal and stainless 304 can be had in strips, I only see nichrome as wire, which would mean a point junction. It should make no difference to voltage but for current it would be better to have strips welded into a linear joint wouldn't it? there also needs to be some means of keeping the hot and cold parts thermally isolated apart from the conductors. Can a capacitor discharge weld two strips together? Can you remember the voltage you produced and what hot and cold temperatures?
