Quote from Notes: "The main revelation was that the emissivity required for the camera to correctly interpret the temperatures on the surface was very close to .95. When we plugged in the emissivities cited from literature in the Lugano report (0.8 to 0.4), the apparent temperature was 1200 to 1500C at 900W in. Is our cast alumina significantly different than other alumina materials? Tomorrow we can compare several temperatures at once on a 1/2" OD alumina tube that we purchased from McMaster Carr. . . ."
Uh oh. That does not sound good for Levi et al. - Jed
