Thus, the power applied to the dummy was continuous" That would be fine if the dynamics weren't important to the test, but on p25 we see: "Plot 3. Average surface temperature trend of the E-Cat HT2 over several minutes of operation. Note the heating and cooling trends of the device, which appear to be different from the exponential characteristics of generic resistor."
