his objection on triac can be ignored. powermeter are designed for much more complex waveform than triphase triac. they can manage polyphase synchronous rectifiers. PCE830 analyse harmonics up to number 99, band with is many kHz... moreover the testers brought other instruments, and had total and exclusive control on the wiring and positioning... no stage magic possible on that.
my guess about the alumina transmissivity point is that I cannot laugh at it because I'm not competent enough. I just suspect that colorimetry , even when not precise propose a monotoous relation between temperature and color, assuming the material don't change. only point is transmittance change , for example by changing the source of heat (as if you change from e 100W white bulb to a 100W red bulb). anyway my wildcard argument is that you don't let 7 physicist attacked by a herd of mindguard, alone with your stage magic, you magic hat and you magic rabbits, during 32 days... even if it is an error, it cannot be stage magic. and if it is not stage magic, it cannot be an error from the data we have. 2014-10-11 0:05 GMT+02:00 Jones Beene <jone...@pacbell.net>: > *From:* Foks0904 > > > > I find it funny that anonymous GoatGuy is literally one of the best-read > "skeptics" out there and get's so much play, but in my view he deserves it > because he's pretty good and the "skeptical" community generally sucks. > Still don't think his objections discredit the report, but I wouldn't mind > seeing them answered. > > > > You’re right about GoatGuy, which makes me wonder who he is.
