How can the Inconel wire in Fig 12b be hotter/brighter in the cooler external environment outside the end of the reactor than it is in the hotter internal environment inside the reactor? In FWIW department, here is the grade of Inconel often used for resistor wire Inconel 600. As you can see, it is rated to less than 540 C. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nickel-600-Inconel-Wire-041-1-04mm-x-10-3m-/320676194894?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2 <http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nickel-600-Inconel-Wire-041-1-04mm-x-10-3m-/320676194894?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item4aa9ca6a4e> &hash=item4aa9ca6a4e As Eric suggests, given the impossibility of Inconel - they must be using something else besides Inconel. I agree. Tungsten comes to mind. This goes along with a growing belief that there is gain here and it could be more than they claim or less … since they did not calibrate - but there is also intentional deception, meaning that this is not a scientific report, but one designed to look that way using cast of PhDs who were essentially asleep at the wheel.
