			<description><![CDATA[@Pekka - The Sodium idea is interesting. That would be testable by dropping a few grains of salt into the cell if we could open it up. Opening the cell would expose the hydrogen loaded wire to oxygen, though. Not sure when we could do it, but we'll keep the idea on the drawing board. @ Ecco - The T_well is inside a 6mm stainless tube running through the center of the apparatus. The metal tube helps average the temperature. @ Alain - I'm not convinced, yet, that the reaction is purely thermally triggered. I wouldn't be surprised if current density in the wire plays an important part. In a few weeks we should be able to use the NiCr wire to maintain a set cell temp and vary the current through the Celani wire to see if we can tease those two factors apart. @ Everyone else - Thanks for the suggestions, too.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[More specifically, when I said that maybe borosilicate glass emits sodium, I meant that the H2 might react with Na2O of the glass, H2+Na2O -> H2O + 2 Na, thus producing a little bit of sodium vapour. Who knows maybe E-cat catalyst is NaCl which slightly reacts with H2 to produce HCl and Na. Or maybe the glass contains potassium, some do and some don't. The reactions would be similar, vapour pressure somewhat higher.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Robert, Its a very good thing that the EU reactor will have a glass very similar to the original Celani one. Is it possible to get a wire that is also similar to the original one, which surely showed excess heat, and whose "turn-on" temperature, resistance, P-in are already well known ? Just a suggestion because it will eliminate many variables and might save a lot of time.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As I proposed before, one possibility is to make an isothermal setup, using the nichrome wire to compensate anomalous heat. in theory if the reaction is purely dependent on temperature this wont do much, but we are far from that. another problem is that if the mica temp get very high, one should protect the wire quickly... however the glass temp is more representative of the average wire temperature... control won't be easy if even possible... 2 observable, 2 actioners another idea is that it seems that anomalous heat does not depend only of temperature, but of variations... maybe one experiment could create cyclic variation of temp... If system was linear i would advice sinusoidal, or square or symmetric ramp, but the system is non linear... should add expert of non linear system... however maybe my ideas should be applied only after you successfully trigger the reaction... maybe with ramp however.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Maybe a small amount of sodium vapour that borosilicate glass might outgas acts as a LENR catalyst and is therefore essential, since alkali metals (usually potassium) have often been suggested as NiH catalysts. Or some other chemical in the pyrex glass which is absent in the pure silica glass. It's good that you are now reconfiguring the Euro cell with pyrex.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@eric Agreed, I guess if it was easy, many people would be doing it - we hope we can make it easy - then many can. We are making great strides in both the experimental design, the science and tools for live data publishing and analysis. In part this is thanks to people donating money and time. When the EU cell is running again there will be twice the data to work with and hopefully this will help us reach a successful conclusion of this phase more quickly. In the multiple replication phase it is very important that every aspect of the experiment, protocol, hardware, software and data reporting are very robust. When there are 5 - 10 experiments running the information flow will be very substantial.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@ ecco The switching was something Ryan and I discussed at length last night - however, whilst we want to try it - the setup as it stands needs to be modified to allow for it. That is when the idea to split the power came and this is something to explore first.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Some thoughts : Is it shure that the NiCr wire can NOT show LENR effects? Do you have a remaining "scrap"-piece of the celani wire? You could use this for some stress testing in Helium to find out where thermal breakdown of the wire occurs. This might help to build some confidence for the main experiment. From my experience it is a good idea to take "a mental step back" from time to time during experiments (my experience from research/develo pment). As you wanted to replicate the Celani experiment as close as possible, it is worth to think about using the pyrex instead of quartz, in case you don´t get positive results. This would be painstaking, but is worth a thought. The "mental step back" (reconsidering the facts that you take as "given"!) really helps!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[First I should say that I am enjoying very much watching this experiment live, in real time. The back and forth conversation between the blog posts and the comments has been a fantastic learning experience. I would not be too worried about wasting time -- I think most of the LENR experiments turn out to be nulls and only a subset show up evidence of anomalous heat. This is a game in which a great deal of patience and persistence will be required to tease out signal from noise, assuming this can be done.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[All three are good options. Option 1 I think is the most dangerous though, and last thing we should try. Watching close, and it shall be interesting to see how this option 3 temperature band sweep works out. Keep going guys, we're right here with you!]]></description>
