Six filaments no rotation.

Here is my work around of the gimble/rotater problem of getting all around coverage from the point source filaments.
So here is the set up. Six filaments. Front, back,top,bottom, left and right.
Wired in series
Powered from my chinese TIG welder.
And here are the filaments with the aluminium pressed on.
The system is running at 55v, which is the output voltage of the TIG. To get these really hot I'm right up at the limit of my TIG. I'm not sure what the current is.
This is the result...
