			<description><![CDATA[We are working on the control loop for the power supply currently. It may be up to 3 weeks, but when we get it working we will be able to set the voltage, current, power, or a temperature. Unfortunately the data collector computer is bogged down with something for the moment and not uploading the data. We are trying to figure it out. It was suggested that running at low pressures of Hydrogen like we are may slow down the recombination of H2 and improve the loading. I was getting antsy to up the pressure back to 3.5 bar again. I am not too concerned about oxygen or nitrogen because I have need no hint of the pressure rising in the cell over time.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Why run at less than 1 bar? This creates the potential for N2 and O2 contamination and criticism due to leakage. Isn't the wire is sensitive to O2?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Could you modify the control of the PSU so that you get the Pout controlled in a closed loop? This would make P in to the wires control easier . (My lab PSU has that functionality and it is sometimes really helpful). As Hydrogen has a significantly higher specific heat and a higher thermal condictivity than helium, this could explain the "negative excess" energy.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[At Mathieu's suggestion, I flipped the power off on the wires for about 3 seconds and then back on, again, just to perturb the system. Also, the ambient is rising because the main building is rising because today is unseasonably warm and sunny. It stays fairly constant in here, but not within a tenth of a degree.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[On another note, it really does seem like P_xs has a slight upwards trend to it; as it's getting consistently more on the positive side of the line the longer this run goes. At least so it seems to my watching. This is getting more and more tantalizing. Strange it's so sensitive to the presence of people.. could it be from air displacement?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[By the way, gaps in the data feed make P_Out drop to zero causing chart plotting problems. Can this be fixed, for example by simply leaving a gap and not assuming the missing data as zero?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[At 14:20 and 14:30 I took a bunch of photos of the wire, trying to get enough detail to see the texture and color of the wire. Both times it correlated to a P_xs drop. Who knew it wouldn't like getting it's picture taken?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There is a gamma detector nearby. When I went to save the spectrum file and accidentally deleted it for the last day :c No undo button. I was about to try to up the power so we could explore the 300+ range. Perhaps that should wait and let it sit.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I will say, the P_xs is definitely above the other runs we've seen starting with the helium conditions. Not sure what this implies, since it's basically averaging around 0 now, instead of -2 W as previously in the same conditions but lower temps. It is... interesting. Maybe we just need more ways to measure and cross check power out, like IR imagery.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Jack Cole: It looks that started right when ambient temperature also increased markedly. However, shouldn't a rise in ambient temperature cause the calculated excess power decrease? Internal reactor temperatures appear to be slightly hotter, and heater wire impedance appears to reflect this too. Hydrogen pressure also appears to have behaved a bit irregularly over the past 3 hours. Unfortunately this rise is still within measurement and calculation error margins, so if there actually is excess heat, it is inconclusive at best. Is there a beta/gamma radiation detector near the reactor, by the way?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The impedance rise per step is increasing from 0.02 per step at the start to 0.04 for the last step. More significantly, at 290C you may be18w * 2^-60C/5.59 = 0.01w, or way below assumed 18w output at 350C, so 0.01w is below experimental error and higher temperature is required.]]></description>
