The increase after the drop has been very marginal however, if you check it in context. It can probably be safely regarded as constant: http://i.imgur.com/XaNSh.png I personally get the very slightly increasing behavior as a sign that active the wire can't load any more hydrogen in those conditions and it's behaving like a normal wire. Now, it would be interesting to see what happens by repeating the vacuum-loading cycle again with the same power setting. It appears Impedance_red is quickly hitting an asymptote. I wonder if it's just really "shock" that it needs, or if by loading, cooling and vacuuming in reality you're also taking out impurities on the wire (oxygen?) which prevent deeper loading. If the latter is true, then it might be an idea trying to heat the wire under vacuum (you'd need to be very careful).]]> Ecco Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:06:11 +0000 http://www.quantumheat.org#comment-626 http://www.quantumheat.org#comment-624 123star Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:33:48 +0000 http://www.quantumheat.org#comment-624 http://www.quantumheat.org#comment-622 http://www.quantumheat.org/index.php/follow/150-attempted-wire-repair#comment-613 It would have been interesting to see if that actually had any effect while temperatures were stable. EDIT: R/Ro in this run appears to have improved. In the very first runs too it was noted that cycling cooling->vacuum >loading appeared to improve R/Ro.This might be something worth to check out more in detail (also at the 7 bar I suggested?). Maybe there's an optimal number of cycles to maximize loading without wasting too much gas and too much time. [however input power is also different from the previous run, so maybe they are not really comparable?]]]> Ecco Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:17:18 +0000 http://www.quantumheat.org#comment-622 http://www.quantumheat.org#comment-621 David Roberson Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:16:46 +0000 http://www.quantumheat.org#comment-621 http://www.quantumheat.org#comment-620 charlie tapp Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:12:15 +0000 http://www.quantumheat.org#comment-620
