The first MFMP test of the Me356 reactor was a steam sparge test that was asked for by Jed Rothwell. The reactor's output steam+entrained water were cooled in a bucket of water and discharged into the bucket. By measuring the temperature rise of the water vs. time, the output power (heat) could be calculated. This first test just concluded with what appears to be [my opinion] a negative result for excess heat based on calculations from the graphed data posted during the test. Calculated values for COP from the data graphs during this sparge test varied from 0.5-0.7 depending on the span of time taken. At the conclusion of the test, there would have been unrecovered heat left in the device, and of course, the short rubber outlet hose was not insulated, so the COP would be expected to be <1 if there was no excess heat. If the actual COP had been >2, the measured COP values would probably have been consistently above 1.0, but they were not [again, my opinion]. A more exact reading on the result will come from direct analysis of the raw data.
The MFMP team will return tomorrow for additional testing using other, more accurate measurement methods. <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
