But the wire cannot be tungsten outside of the reactor where it is exposed to air! Only inconel will survive air exposure at such temperatures for a month, and it maxes out at about 1300-1350°C (even that is pushing it).
And that wire (Fig 12b) is visibly brighter than the wire lines in the reactor (or brightest surface areas of reactor), hence hotter. So QED the reactor surface is <<1400°C. The thermography is flat out wrong for reasons unknown, and knowing that it is wrong you have to set aside all the conclusions that are based on it! The wire in the reactor in an insulated environment is necessarily hotter than the wire outside the reactor, and while everyone might want to believe that they must therefore be using exotic refractory wires that cannot be the case: There is no way to joining the inconel wire to a refractory metal at a temperature above the melting point of inconel within the insulated and even higher temperature of an oxygen-free sealed environment within the reactor. The only conclusion that makes sense is that the wires in the reactor are at or below the melting temperature of inconel, and in such circumstances the only way that they do not melt and fail is if the reactor surface temperature is at least 2-300°C lower as I have previously shown. As to growing belief in gain, I started out that way, but more I have looked at the thermal physics in play and the inconsistencies it creates the less believable it has become, the pictures and heat transfer physics at play make it a strong possibility that there was no gain.
