13:48 local time. The reaction has been fluctuating all day with amplitude about as big as the screen shot taken at 9:21 this morning. It was not just the air conditioning. It went briefly to 15 W but dropped back and has stated around 14 W. It is not increasing. In Texas it went up to 21 W before stabilizing.
Celani told me the wire after treatment weighs 0.29 g. SEM studies show that about 45% of it is active. I suppose that means it is active at some point during the test run. It may be than only a small portion is active at any given moment. The longest runs with this system were about a month. One cut out after a week and then turned on again. Another produced continuous heat. It went to ~8 W at first, stayed there for a while and then toward the end rose to about 16 W. - Jed
