>Harry You are ofcourse right in a sense. T.I. is good at measuring RELATIVE DIFFERENCES, not an AVERAGE ABSOLUTE. (I was once involved in measuring absolutes/relatives in the mK/uK range in a Spacelab experiment-'High Precision Thermostat', 'HPT'. This was a tough one. So rest assured that I approximately know what I'm talking about. See here: http://papers.sae.org/881024/) But if You agree on the general idea of 'hot spots' in LENR, T.I. opens up a whole new dimension. Compare this to a (SMD) resistor: There are no hot spots. At least if it is properly designed. I would expect sort of a sparkling effect in the case of LENR, with time-varying hot spots. Definitely not the continuous heating of a resistive surface. Guenter
