Hi Bob, The power steps from 10,30,50,70, 90 watts (equal intervals of 1 hour). The temperature is not constant. The resistance is actually increasing during the control run, but you can't see it in that chart because of the scale. The resistance was determined by V/I. The resistance of the control and active run were determined in the same manner. The voltage and current were measured by the power supply, and the connection to the PC was via USB. The resistance coil was not physically disconnected from the supply while it was being loaded with material before the active run. I tried to disturb the setup as little as possible during that process.
The tube furnace is simply a convenient place to house the core providing an insulated environment to increase the signal to noise ratio. It can be used for heating, which I have done in previous experiments. It just takes a lot of power to reach the same temperatures. I'll do some more charts when I get a chance with time included so you can compare to power and temperature.
