Alberto-- You are correct that voltage and current gives integrated power in the section of the coil between the voltage drop measurements. However, if your are interested in local power generation in the active region where the fuel is, you need to know the resistance in that region and hence its temperature together with the current to determine power applied to the fuel.

It is easy to measure the voltage on each one of them with a hand voltimeter. With current and voltage, we can compute the resistance of each one and the power each one is dissipating. Conversely, if we put them in parallel, the voltage is the same. But we have to measure the current on each one of them. One can do that with a series ammeter (very truthful, but we need to ammeters, therefore, problems with skeptics) or with a inductive one (not so much truthful because the measurement is indirect; problems with skeptics). I would go with the series circuit. One just need more voltage from the variac transformer to power two reactors. Alberto.

Thus, if power input is to be the same or even predictable, the resistances of the coils along their length as a function of temperature should be known. This bit of information is not trivial.

But we have something new now: MFMP and their live science approach. If they show (live) the complete process of puting the two reactors in series and the reactor with fuel shows significantly higher temperature for enough time, it is done. No skeptic whining will be strong enough to change the tide. All big-funded laboratories in world will try and replicate the results in the following few days (all relevant data for replication will be in the Internet). MFMP is doing everything right, and they are using the weapons of today - immediate socialization of information. If they are successful in a experiment as I have suggested, i.e. a live experiment with a clear null hypothesis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_hypothesis), they will make history. To my knowledge, no one in history have yet presented an experiment showing significant excess heat side by side with its null hypothesis. Either the experimenters try to show excess heat with calorimetry (too hard) or they do the experimental test and the null hyposthesis in different moments and not taking proper care with the control variables.

David have a good idea, that skeptic do the experiment themselves. some have done in their time and now they are here ;-) accused of fraud an delusion. moreover most skeptic refuse to experiment, and when experimenting have a tendency to reject any success and not to try long. It have to be easy. easy, with a theory, with a practical interest. I'm shocked today by the fact that most people instead of saying "it is unreal", say me "show me the reactor in home depot"... either a theory or an application. there is no room in Science for unexplained phenomenon that are not on the market. 2015-03-20 16:50 GMT+01:00 Daniel Rocha <[email protected]>: Alain, all of these difficulties can be overcome by a self sustained system. 3.2x system can vaporize, condense at certain hight, and use the fall of water to generate power.
