Default power on random wire antenna

Richard:

I should think I could probably power a 100 watt light bulb though a 1mm
wire. Perhaps a 150 watt one?

At 200 watts, I'd more than expect the wire to be getting rather warm,
even with enamel insulation and in free space ...

At a KW, I'd expect to be breathing some copper ions/particles!
