One of the criticisms of this high school experiment will come frome and will be based on the formation of various oxides of tungsten. The formation of these oxides will produce excess heat in the range from 130 to 220 Kcal/mol. This chemically derived source of heat should be eliminated by removing oxygen from the experiment.
This change will get the high school experiment closer to what Rossi has done.
