I do not think that any one will have an spare water heating element under their sleeve, it's only $25 at home depot or hardware store alike.
This heater element will handle your 240VDC with no problem, but I understand that it's very cold outside, around here to, and I'm not planning to freeze my but either
Lets do the McGiver thing.......
For the low voltage, 40VDC, you could try a few table lamps connected in parallel, or a toaster oven, an clothes iron, a quartz heater or any room electrical heater; in short, any device that has a resistive load that will burn safely some watts.
Remember to make any electrical connections in a safe manner.
