Bob, there may be a need for the type of behavior that you are describing, but I am looking for the simplest explanation. I plead ignorant to your description of an issue with the wires crossing over in some manner. In my imagination, I can see all three wires spiriling around in parallel without any cross overs. Perhaps I need to construct a model before I can get an accurate understanding of how this occurs. Have you performed that task?
It appears to me that each resistor wire is terminated into a single external wire and I fail to see why that would be difficult to do. My visualization might be impaired!

Dave, that was my first thought too, but in going over the construction of the heater coils, it turned out to be a pain to deal with the heater wire cross-overs. You would not do this just because you were planning to connect the array to a 3-phase supply. You could simply have an array of 3N, have single phase coils, and balance each phase with the single phase coils in the array device. To go to the trouble of making each unit 3-phase demands a better reason. I posted earlier that I believe that the 3-phase is specifically used to create a linear moving field (like a linear motor) to circulate the lithium plasma that likely forms at high temperature. This would make the device much more uniformly heated in the face of chaotic LENR occurring inside the reactor and would help avoid hot spots.

It would be extra work for Rossi to construct a new device using only one phase for the scientists to measure. I give him a pass on this point.
