It looks better than the 350 watt resistor I had to make last month to test a power supply. That was just several coils of nichrome wire and needed a fan to keep it from melting.
For short term testing, you can submerge them in a glass of water. I’ve seen someone dissipating 50W in a 5W resistor like that. Obviously, that resistor will have a short lifespan, but sometimes that’s good enough for a quick test.

Poor zip ties… Gonna melt soon
