I got an email from the Chan replicator... He says he has achieved 6 COP. He has sent me a few messages but does not return any questions to me.. but he apparently reads what I send him. I said I would post his update.

However, his method seems novel and reproducible. I do like the idea of using a RFG of some sort to do the induction heating of the powders. An RFG that Chan reports using is on ebay for $200. But it is unclear to me and others I've talked with whether induction heating can heat and stimulate the powder contents of a copper tube. As far as my own replication attempts, I've gotten my thermocouples logging more accurately and I've been adding Fe & Cu powders to my mix.. heating with a band heater and H2 under pressure without success. But have been spending most my time on software development for a certain trade show in SF next week. - Brad
