[ etc etc ] In my simulation I refer to "DC" as a constant source of Spice CURRENT, (representing thermal POWER), whether provided by electrical AC, electrical DC or a trail of trained ants carrying burning matches (the infamous marching fire-ants). I will change all my descriptions to emphasize that this is a CONSTANT component, versus a changing TRANSIENT component. My thermal curves show that there is NOT a CONSTANT heat input. See the fourth curve in http://lenr.qumbu.com/web_hotcat_spice/130621_spice_02.png (Presently labelled "dc_output" and "dc_fitted" -- read this as "CONSTANT_output" - and "CONSTANT_fitted" --- meaning, of course, the OUTPUT when given a CONSTANT INPUT. There is most likely a TRIANGULAR heat input (the rise and fall times to be fine-tuned to give a better match to the observed curve --- which I plan to digitize).
