			<description><![CDATA[Cell 1.1 seems to be reading lower than the calibration runs of the last few days by several degrees. I suggest that you perform the same step runs with the inactive heating wire to see if the two measurements agree. This will help to determine why there is variation. And, it will prove once and for all that the major heat flow outward is convection instead of IR. It would be good to clarify this issue.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi, did You check the performances of the Calorimeters (measurement of loss and efficiency) by means of a reference resistive wire applying a known input power? If yes, could You show the data collected? Regards]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[We double checked the entire thermocouple data acquisition and from the raw voltage to the A/D readings to the thermocouple tables and the 10 degree lower temperatures on cell 1.0 in Helium with the Celani wire is real. That leaves the question of why it ran 10C hotter during the helium calibrations with the Isotan wire. The mica was off-gassing and making the black goo on the wire, but that chemical energy in the few milligrams of material involved could not have kept the cell 10C hotter for an hour and a half. Could it? Anyway, we refeshed the helium and we're going to let it step through the cycle up to 40 watts again while we sleep and see what it did in the morning.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[We saw temperatures up to 10C lower on all 3 sensors in cell 1.0 and some weird resistance variation (14 layer wire). Cell 1.1 is showed a lower T_Glass_out and a generally decreasing resistance like it was loading somehow (2 layer wire). We are going to try to rule out instrumentation problems on the temperatures, but the resistance seems to be a real and curious thing. More later.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello guys I think you are moving in the right direction. Just a question on the isolationbox. Wouldn't a cylindical geometry be simpler (give rise to fewer possible artifacts)? Also, for this to be stable, would you not have to keep the temperature of the outside wall constant? Cheers]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I thought there was a simpler air flow in the air flow calorimeter. Speaking of something different, the v1.1 Cell with the Celani wire under Helium atmosphere appears to be already producing excess heat, doesn't it? I'm assuming that, as reported in the experiment log, correct values for P_Out and P_xs are already in place. However, I seem to remember that using internal temperatures (macor temperatures in this case) to calculate output power wasn't regarded to be very safe (= prone to measurement artifacts), even by Celani. Is there any particular reason why you are not using glass temperatures instead? (T_GlassOut in particular).]]></description>
