Is it uncommon ? I have seen such practice in many old PdD LENR papers, and in recent Ed Storms reports. This is something to promote fo replicators I imagine ?
another (less common) practice is the servo-mode, popularized by michael McKubre in his closed cell isothermal flow calorimetry. I found recently a document from LANL about calorimetry in nuclear technology http://www.lanl.gov/orgs/n/n1/panda/10.%20Calorimetry.pdf many ideas from professional... big calorimeter... passive or servo. air flow, water flow. solid state... I've also digged Ed Storms "cheap seebeck calorimeter" paper (seebeck calorimeter done with many TC)... problem here with NiLiH replicators are : - reaction seems very sensible to temperature so servo-mode reduce control on one parameter (this is even a key finding of Ed Storms in PdD electrolysis) - even heat pulse calibration in a dogbone configuration may trigger some effect... maybe the dogbone could have two independent heating coil - one near the chamber quickly heat the fuel - one near the outside, or in the flow/seebeck calorimeter add a pulse of heat that reach the fuel much damped and much later. anyway there is much to learn in old papers, and in professional documents (including in IR cam documentation ;-> ) 2016-03-03 4:06 GMT+01:00 Jed Rothwell <jedrothw...@gmail.com>: > Russ George <russ.geo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > >> The simple and perhaps ideal calibration in these sorts of experiments is >> to have a second heat source of some few or few tens of watts that can be >> turned on intermittently. >> > > A calibration on-the-fly.
