At the time of the explosion in the BANG clip, the video leads the audio by slightly less than 1 second. Unfortunately, the resolution of the video stream is very low, and the FRAMERATE is painfully low : ( It's no more than 5-10 fps (frames per second). Now, in a video where "nothing happens" it won't matter, but to see what's happening here you would want more. A standard HD video camera does 50 or 60 fps no problem.
It could also be their video capture picture-in-picture software is not delivering (or the computer they are running it on). You can see this from the fluidity of the mouse pointer movements. Pity. .s Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2015 19:50:30 -0500 Subject: Re: [Vo]:Dog Bone Project From: [email protected] To: [email protected] It is hard to believe that the video feeds are the best part of a second out of sync. This dereliction of instrumentation would be a mortal sin against science. We must understand that such a problem can get people to follow false leads and waste tons of time trying to figure out a pressure related problem that does not exist or the opposite. This is just as bad as water in the steam type issue that we have spent days and days talking about. This is a shot at process that naysayers can use to discredit LENR experimentation as science. The video is an important scientific tool to understand what is happening in and experiment. It must be calibrated as rigorously as the heat sensors. At this moment, I trust MFMP has setup the video properly and the fault is a hot spot failure of the core.

It is likely that the video stream containing the VI display was in sync with the audio and the video stream of the white hot dogbone was ahead of the audio stream as well as the video stream containing the VI display. Yes, if this is the case, someone _really_ screwed up this video - very badly.

This tells me that the sound and video is in sync. These two indicators are electrical flows to the heater coil. The heat suffered a shock at bang onset.

Because the events of 2:29 to 2:30 include a clear mechanical displacement of the right end of the tube that goes so far as to mechanically displace the red-stripped device in the extreme upper right of the video frame -- all before the BANG. It seems likely that this mechanical displacement was the actual BANG event with the sound coming nearly a second later. Given that disparity, it seems pretty likely that any change in the heat profile during 2:29 to 2:30 is the result of the breach, not its cause.

When the video of the event is viewed at 1/4 speed, at 2.29 a white spot caused by high heat buildup first appears in the field of scarlet near the point of failure. This bit of evidence shows that the power produced at 2.29 is greatly increasing. This overheat reaction is not caused by a short circuit in the heater element because the power is steady at that time. As 2:29 progresses the white spot grows in size. The area of white expands throughout the 2.30 timeframe and at the end of that time period, the power to the heater surges as the heater begins to short out. The exploding sound occurs at the end of 2:30. The area of white is at its maximum at the end of 2.30 and begins to return to scarlet stating at 2:31 as hydrogen is venting from the tube. The power going through the heater is at its maximum at 2:32 until 2.34. The power is minimized at 2:35. The heater is completely shorted at 2:55 with 0 current flow. There is a fration of a second starting at 2:29 before the tube fractured as marked by the sound of explosion near the end of 2:30 when high heat is building up at the point of failure. The hydrogen detection instrument sounds produced by venting hydrogen does not begin until 2.30 after the sound of the explosion. This failure was caused by explosive overheating.

I find it far more likely to be determined by a defect in the Al2O3 tube. The ceramic is very brittle. I have had those thermocouple tubes break for no apparent reason when inserting them in a furnace. They also require handling with reasonable care.
