In the wire experiments of Francesco Celani, there was a large drop in the resistance of the wire. I believe that the wire was infused with 1 dimensional nano structures(nanowire) that carry current ballisticly. On Mon, Mar 23, 2015 at 4:46 PM, mix...@bigpond.com wrote: In reply to Alberto De

Calorimetry is always a problem in LENR context because it is being used to try and prove that LERN is real. But it is very hard to use it for that. Calorimetry is good for evaluating how much one would gain with LENR, once it is proved that we have excess heat (one might argue that this was

If the resistence of the reactor with fuel decreases by three times, the power received by this reactor would be reduced by the same amount (if the voltage is kept constant in this reactor) or more (if the voltage is kept constant in the circuit composed by the two reactors in series). In both

When the resistance drops on the LENR reactor heater coil by three times, how will that effect the current going through the null reactor's heating coil? On Sat, Mar 21, 2015 at 2:10 AM, Alberto De Souza alberto.investi...@gmail.com wrote: Calorimetry is always a problem in LENR context

If the objective is to compare the temperatures, then one has to ensure that the input _power_ to both coils is identical. It is not enough to just _measure_ the input power. It needs to be _actively controlled_ to ensure that it is identical. I beg to disagree. If we have a large COP (

For that matter, without the calorimetry we don't really know if it's 3 COP. It could be 1 COP and the run without the fuel was just 1/3 COP. On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 7:38 PM, Blaze Spinnaker blazespinna...@gmail.com wrote: That being said, is it possible that the the first run just burned

That being said, is it possible that the the first run just burned up the shell of the tube / insulation and is now radiating heat more easily. At some point Alexander is going to have to remove the fuel and re-run the test. On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 7:27 PM, Blaze Spinnaker
