Hi Alberto: Great job on the plotting. I am going to refrain commenting about excess heat at this time, but I have a few suggestions/comments:
1) It is my understanding that the Coil Resistance is 8.5 ohms cold (Room Temperature) and the largest value I heard Alan mention during the experiment was 9.1 ohms. At this point, I would assume a linear relationship with temperature of the Coil Resistance, and using the two data points given (9.1 ohm at the maximum obtained temperature), replot the power curve taking into account the Coil Resistance Variation. 2) Annotate the two “Y” Axis (Left/Right) as Temperature [C] and Power [W]. 3) Compute/Estimate the Heat Capacity of the Null Reactor/Cell and the Fueled Cell, and divide the two. This will give us an idea how large the Cells are off from each other. The Null Cell has the same pressure as the Fueled Cell, but is “filled” with an Alumina Plug with a “Press Fit”. The Fueled Cell has Nickel and much more Hydrogen Gas by Volume than the Null Cell. Hydrogen Gas has a Heat Capacity Value, itself. Those are the differences in Heat Capacity and Thermal Mass. You can start with a Heat Capacity of an Alumina Cylinder and Kanthal Heater Coil of given diameter (sorry, I don’t recall the diameter off the top of my head). There is a rather nice drawing Alan made with the dimensions. If you need some help, post and I am sure we will help out where we can. Also, unfortunately Heat Capacity is a function of temperature and we will have to dig up some data on that, to make a better estimate. Thanks and keep up the good work! - Mark From: Alberto De Souza Sent: Monday, June 01, 2015 8:30 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: [Vo]:MFMP has presented the strongest evidence of excess heat due to LENR so far In the graph attached, I have plotted data made public by the MFMP. The graph shows the temperature in a (null hypothesis) empty reactor (that was run in series with a loaded reactor), the temperature of the loaded reactor, and the power applied to both; both reactors were heated by the resistances of the same value. The three variables were plotted according to a moving average of 1000 samples. The power was computed by squaring the voltage and dividing it by 8.6 (the resistance of the heater). As the graph shows, there is strong evidence of excess heat - the power applied to the system reduces, but the active reactor increases its temperature. IMHO, this experiment is the best proof of excess heat due to LENR so far. Alberto. ps. link to graph: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=914302228591022&set=p.914302228591022&type=1
