If you are in contact with them – please ask if they are still using nichrome as a control.
Both cells (Activated [A] and Control [B] - there is one of each both in EU and in the US, so four in total) have a NiCr wire (for passive/indirect heating purposes) and a treated Constantan wire from Celani.
The only difference between the control and the activated cells is that since yesterday in the activated cells several hydrogen loading cycles have been performed and are now apparently showing some excess heat under passive heating. It is expected that they will produce even more [apparent?] excess heat when the Celani wires will be directly heated (by applying current to them). Once Celani wires get loaded it seems that they will keep producing excess heat under vacuum for some amount of time (days) even when heated passively/indirectly.
They are planning to activate the control cells at a later time. Cheers, S.A.
