This is not a valid test. You have to cover up the thermocouples. Rossi did not leave them open to the air. Of course leaving them open will pick up the air temperature. That is obvious. Yesterday when I removed the foam pipe insulation, the temperature dropped 1.4 to 3°C, even though the TC was still covered with adhesive tape. It began fluctuating, no doubt due to air currents. Putting a layer of tape under the TC in open air might well increase this problem. You have put everything under insulation. I see no point to testing for problems that Rossi cannot possibly have. - Jed
