Is it really the same size, If I read well the diameter' is much smaller,
making much less radiative surface to dissipate heat ?

As I said, Alan Goldwater's work is on the small diameter coil that will go
into the dogbone in place of the LENR reactor core.  Temperature
measurements made on it by itself, were made with a type-k thermocouple
placed inside the tiny alumina tube (4mm OD) used as a coil form for the
kanthal heater wire on the outside (6 mm OD coil).  When the kanthal wound
tube was coated with a ceramic cement, there was insulation and not as much
convection and this coil got to the 1300C range inside the center of the
alumina tube.  This is NOT the dogbone shaped convection tube.

I know the text is confusing, having Alan's work described just below the
dogbone picture.  The dogbone shaped convection tube has NOT been heated to
that temperature.

You also have my opinion wrong.  As I said, I am concerned that even
putting in a total of 3kW electric in our dogbone test, we may not get to
the same temperature as in the Lugano report.  The electrical input in the
Lugano report was a little above 900W as I recall, and I don't believe it
is possible to get the dogbone to 1400C on the OUTSIDE with 900W input
based on our measurements.  Also, the type of heater element we now believe
was used in the Lugano hotCat was not capable of delivering over about 1kW
of input heat.  So if the hotCat was really putting out over 2.5kW of heat
to get it to 1400C, then there was definitely substantial gain.  We will
know in January.

That depends on heat transfer characteristics of the two - it could be more or 
it could be less, but the point is that there is a similarity and near identity 
in the two systems that should be alarming to those who think Rossi was showing

If the report is accurate (and apparently Bob thinks it is not), then the

You MFMP guys have started posting photos. But please do the following: 

1. Get a color calibration card, eg Kodak Color Separation Guide and Gray Scale 
(Q-13, 8" Long) 

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=26662&gclid=CjwKEAiAkpCkBRCtstKQo5ia5nESJACsCikR0WtiGGjptERAk_sJ4mJxnfK3nRKGKJyBPBw76JmgVxoCz6rw_wcB&Q=&is=REG&A=details
 

Include the card in every photo. 

2. Make sure you use a camera with manual control, and use the same camera for 
every photo. Turn off Auto White Balance (AWB) and auto ISO. 
3 Optional : also get a grayscale card --- and ONE TIME ONLY set the camera to 
get the white balance off the card. 

Otherwise, just pick a "suitable" value. 

Note the AWB value (color temperature). 

4. Take every photo at the same AWB and preferably ISO. Make sure that no 
channels are over-exposed.

Re: [Vo]:That doggone dogbone

2014-12-07 Thread Bob Higgins
Jones,

I don't know where you have gotten this data, but I am working with MFMP on
this and have not seen any such data.  There are 2 heaters being
developed.  One will model the coil that was used to heat the internal
reactants - this is what the Lugano team applied electrical power to to
heat the hotCat.  The second coil will go in the middle to model the extra
heat provided by Rossi's secret reactants.  We are concerned that we will
NOT be able to put in enough heat into these TWO coils together to get the
dogbone convection tube to 1400C.  We are planning to be able to put in
about 2.4kW into the outer coil, and may be able to put in another 1kW in
the inner coil.

The plan is to try to put in enough electrical heat into these 2 coils such
that the same view comes out of the same model of Optris camera (calibrated
the same way as the factory) as what the Lugano team saw.  Then the total
electrical input that generates this matched thermal image will be the heat
from the hotCat as a sum of the electrical hotCat input and the LENR
output.  We will also measure the temperature with type-B thermocouples,
but this is just a check on the Lugano math.

The real measure is how much electrical power must go into the dogbone
replica to match the Optris view that the Lugano team got.  Right now, the
concern is that we may not be able to input that much electrical power to
match the Lugano view.  We will see in January when the team gets access to
an Optris camera.

For now, in testing the outer coils of the dogbone, the temperature has
been taken nowhere near 1300C.

Alan Goldwater has constructed and tested a coil on a small alumina tube
coil form that will be used to model the LENR contribution to the heat.  It
will be placed inside the dogbone.  Alan has been testing this and
measuring the temperature on the inside of the small alumina tube, not
convected on the outside.

Please stay tuned for the real results.  Any posts before the real test in
January are bound to be bogus.

Oops

 

The MFMP has built a Rossi replica called the “dog-bone”… it is the same
size and weight as the Lugano original

 

Even before adding nickel or hydrogen, the  MFMP reactor was initially
testing to 1300 degrees with 732 watts input. 

 

Yet… Rossi was claiming in his tests, and Levi wrote it up this way:  “Upon
completion of the gradual startup process procedure, the thermal camera
indicated an average temperature for the body of the reactor of 1260°C,
while the PCE recorded an electric power input to the E-Cat fluctuating at
around 810 W. 

 

And did Rossi/Levi not then claim that this was a large COP based on those
“calculations” of IR emission ? 

 

… yet it appears that MFMP was able to achieve higher thermal temperature,
using less input, and with more accurate measurement from a thermocouple
instead of a thermal camera - but guess what? Their reactor has no fuel nor
catalyst !

 

Now we have to ask, who’s the real dummy in this doggone soap opera?  

 

Levi for sure is dummy # 1 for allowing Rossi to take complete control over
a so-called “independent” experiment.

If we lived in a black hole, then spacetime would be contracting toward us
rather than expanding (and increasingly expanding at that).  The exact
opposite is more likely:  that we live in a "white" hole.
