			<description><![CDATA[In my opinion the spread between different runs with different wires could be due to the fact that the thermocouples are partly heated by direct radiation and partly by conduction. The temperature and the emissivity of the wires and hence their spectrum varies from run to run. We could try to reduce the spread, at least on Glassout, in two ways: 1) Using a steel container pipe (or anything that is either reflective or opaque). 2) Meanwhile, we could try to reduce the spread by putting a radiation shield before the glass_out probe. I'm thinking about a little rectangle of metal sheet inside the tube in correspondence with the glass_out probe, which is external.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If hydrogen (H-H I assume) can get into the metal, wouldn't the HE get into the metal too? HE should be smaller than H-H. H-H has a bond between the 2 protons, whereas HE has those protons (and neutrons) all in 1 compact nucleus. So by my way of thinking, HE is smaller, therefore can permeate the metal even more than hydrogen. In reading the posts, it seems that the assumption is that the HE either doesn't penetrate the metal, or is inert (in a nuclear sense). Are these valid assumptions? If the metal gets loaded with HE, would that not take up space that the hydrogen would/could occupy?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Robert Greenyer: true, but according to the data and charts visible in the presentation it appears Celani usually adopts much higher gas pressures than what you have so far. To put it straight, this could be the main reason why the wire in your reactor hardly shows any anomalous behavior. It is not just a secondary variable among many (like for example the exact glass tube material), it's an important one, and it's differing by a factor of 2.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Ryan Hunt: nice, will be interesting to see how this will unfold. Anyway, also try considering switching the same power to the inactive wire: in his ICCF17 presentation Celani noted that in a case, excess heat was larger when applying power indirectly rather than directly. See page 48 here: http://www.22passi.it/downloads/Celani_ICCF17_Trasp3.pdf (btw, initial pressure of around 6.8 bar, rising to over 9 bar with a 48W load! The more I read - once again - this presentation, the more I think that maybe the wire should be loaded at a higher hydrogen pressure for success. Again, just thinking aloud) The cell currently being tested is under helium atmosphere though, so I'm not sure how much all of this would apply. Maybe next time hydrogen will be used.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The impedance drop of the active wire is currently quite marginal compared to that of the previous power step. Weird. In either cases, it seems much lower than what it's supposed to be (in hydrogen atmosphere).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I am seeing an interesting variation in the exponential curve fit for the T_GlassOut temperature versus time response at constant drive power during this run. There are regions where the error becomes significantly higher than I obtained during the earlier hydrogen tests. This may represent temperatures where excess power is generated although it is too early to be sure.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[We have 280 on parts of the wire - maybe 2/3rds according to Ryan with the IR laser thermometer (which we need to calibrate - thanks to a contributor for the suggestion)- so just into minimum trigger temp range. We have one more power step set in the plan for this test - but might take it higher.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[:-) Sorry, I'm not an engeneer and maybe my considerations are silly. Forgive me in case :-) 1) To avoid the ambient temperature as variable it would be possible to run two reactors, one with the active wire and the other with the inactive wire in the same room and measure the differences ? 2) Why the wire must be wrapped to mica ? It would be possible to keep it in gas in as straight line pinned to the two flanges? This would eliminate the doubt about wrapping wires too tight Keep on testing guys !! Ric]]></description>
