This is an excellent report. I agree with the analysis, conclusions and most of the details. I reserve the right to quibble with a few points. Especially: "In any case, it is nonsensical that when power is cut that output power quickly momentarily rises." The electric heating power is apparently used to suppress the reaction, not to enhance it. Others have observed that in some cases when heater power is cut, anomalous heat rises rapidly. I think there is no doubt that anomalous heat can rise quite quickly and uncontrollably with this device, as it did during the 18-hour liquid flow test in February. There is no doubt that heat burst was real, and not an instrument artifact. So this is not nonsense, and it is not an instrument artifact. It is a characteristic of the reaction. - Jed
