Schneeveis is a very cool dude, and I always enjoy seeing him at Sept's eaasv.org NDEW rally. But for those that are not machinists and or do not have access to that equipment to fabricate such a sweet, adjustable load, I looked other ways to do the same at (hopefully) an affordable cost. No so much quick and dirty, just easy and within budget.
8V 60A is 480W being dissipated. There are 100W resistors that can be put in a series parallel configuration to have a 500+ Watt capability at about (8/60= ) 0.1333_ Ohms. See http://www.ebay.com/itm/0-01-OHM-100K-OHM-100W-Watt-Power-Metal-Shell-Case-Wirewound-Resistor-/371586155435 The shipping cost is for the first item, all other quantities above that are free. So if you ordered quantity 9 @ $2.02, add $1.96 ship all of them = $21.76. 3 sets of resistors in parallel, and those sets wired in series would give you close to what you seek. I also found a .pdf that might be either useful or interesting: http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/megger/pdf/low-resistance-testing.pdf I hope this has been helpful.
