Most of them just blast heat evenly across the tube. But in the real world of R&amp;D, &ldquo;even&rdquo; isn&rsquo;t always what you need. That&rsquo;s why we stop obsessing over basic dimensions and start looking at where the power actually lands. We use ceramic end caps to give us way more control over that distribution.</p>
