I was a little disappointed with the latest replication results of last evening and took a little time to consider exactly how the configuration being used for the experiment should behave had there been any measurable core thermal power generation. It occurred to me that it is going to be a

My opinion is that this was the best documented, reported, and instrumented Parkhomov replication experiment to date. There are sure to be better experiments to come, but lets give Alan his due for putting together a good experiment. Hear, Hear! My comments sounded more negative that I

I think you are being unduly unkind in observations of Alan Goldwater's experiment. Alan had previously done a dummy run with a thermocouple inserted into the center of the core and had a calibration curve showing the internal temperature of the reactor vs. the temperature on the outside of the

There were a couple of reasons. First, Alan was at near maximum power when the reactor tube outside temperature was 900C and the internal core temperature was over 1200C. The Kanthal A1 heater wire would have burned out by the time the reactor tube temperature could have been driven to 1200C,

Hi Jones, Li6 production was stopped in 1963. The depleted lithium that was a by-product of enrichment has (probably) long ago been distributed and used up. It is highly unlikely that current producers are changing the natural ratio of Li-6 to Li-7-- as depleting it for the general public would

Finlay asked a similar question. The answer is in the thermal model for the mounted area of the thermocouple. The thermal model for Alan's thermocouple, mounted on the reactor tube, is different than Parkhomov's. Alan's thermocouple is in a center gap in the heater coil turns, the turns being

Bob, You appear to be making the assumption that excess power is being generated within the core. Why would you expect the temperature inside the core to be above the outside of the core unless some extra power is being produced? Why 1200 C when the outside is at only 900 C? Something does

I was interested in how the pressure behaved in the experiment. To my despair, the experiment ended way to soon to see the pressure flatline. The pressure was still going down at the end of the experiment. Parkhomov ran the experiment in his living room for 3 days, Alan Goldwater was concerned

Thanks Bob, Now I see that a closer look at the glow tube construction is going to be required reading. Your explanation should help all of us to better understand why the relatively low reading at his thermocouple chosen location is reasonable. Perhaps he should consider picking a location

Tungsten has a very high melting point, but it suffers badly from oxidation and will fail at 1000C if exposed to O2. Kanthal A1 is one of the best alloys for a heater coil that can survive in the presence of O2 (leakage) and it is reasonably ductile for forming. Ductility is important because if

MFMP didn't show COP1, with the dog bone test, last night It was a bit more disappointing than that. They didn't seem to have a clear understanding of the protocol. They leveled the temperature at 855 C, initially; then decided it should be leveled at 875 C. Then they decided to raise it
