Maybe I am wrong about that. I see what you mean Jack and it makes me suspicious about the reported COP. If the reported value is accurate then the device must be operating in some type of latch up mode. A normal feedback system that is stable can handle any input power and only one output power exists for each value of input.
If the input must be increased to that high level first then there would exist at least two static output powers when 300 watts of input is applied. The only way this shows up in my models is when a negative resistance region is present and even then the output transitions rapidly and uncontrolled when the threshold of negative resistance is breached. Something is not adding up. My guess is that the COP is not nearly as large as reported. I will give this issue some more thought.

If the reaction doesn't start until those temperatures are reached, how could 300W get you there?

You should not need to get to 1100C at full power and back off if the device is working according to my models. Of course, the amount of fuel would have to be very carefully adjusted to achieve that level of COP and maintain stability with static drive. I am assuming that he does not have a negative resistance region present within the operating region.

Did he have to use nearly 1KW of power to bring the reactor up to 1100C and was then able to back off on the applied power? If he only had to apply 300W to bring it up to 1100 or 1200C, then something was wrong with the temperature measuring. Conversely, if it took the same amount of power to step it up through the temperature ranges, and then required only 300W to keep it at 1200C, then I would be convinced.

It is easy to measure the voltage on each one of them with a hand voltimeter. With current and voltage, we can compute the resistance of each one and the power each one is dissipating. Conversely, if we put them in parallel, the voltage is the same. But we have to measure the current on each one of them. One can do that with a series ammeter (very truthful, but we need to ammeters, therefore, problems with skeptics) or with a inductive one (not so much truthful because the measurement is indirect; problems with skeptics). I would go with the series circuit. One just need more voltage from the variac transformer to power two reactors. Alberto.

Thus, if power input is to be the same or even predictable, the resistances of the coils along their length as a function of temperature should be known. This bit of information is not trivial.

But we have something new now: MFMP and their live science approach. If they show (live) the complete process of puting the two reactors in series and the reactor with fuel shows significantly higher temperature for enough time, it is done. No skeptic whining will be strong enough to change the tide. All big-funded laboratories in world will try and replicate the results in the following few days (all relevant data for replication will be in the Internet). MFMP is doing everything right, and they are using the weapons of today - immediate socialization of information. If they are successful in a experiment as I have suggested, i.e. a live experiment with a clear null hypothesis ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_hypothesis), they will make history. To my knowledge, no one in history have yet presented an experiment showing significant excess heat side by side with its null hypothesis. Either the experimenters try to show excess heat with calorimetry (too hard) or they do the experimental test and the null hyposthesis in different moments and not taking proper care with the control variables.

It have to be easy. easy, with a theory, with a practical interest. I'm shocked today by the fact that most people instead of saying "it is unreal", say me "show me the reactor in home depot"... either a theory or an application. there is no room in Science for unexplained phenomenon that are not on the market. 2015-03-20 16:50 GMT+01:00 Daniel Rocha <danieldi...@gmail.com>: Alain, all of these difficulties can be overcome by a self sustained system. 3.2x system can vaporize, condense at certain hight, and use the fall of water to generate power.
