Hey MY,
I'll be very interested in your analysis. The operation at nearly absolute zero is what intrigues me...
OK, I'm being disrespectful.... In Figure 5, the internal cell temp as a function of time is supposedly shown. It supposedly starts at 0.3 degrees and rises to 1.0 degrees. That is what the axis says. I *assume* that the axis is actually the temperature in degrees C divided by 100, but that isn't what the axis label says. In other figures, there is a little annotation in the upper left-hand corner "1/100.0" (Fig 3, 7, and 8), which I am guessing means the values are divided by 100, but there's no such notation in Figure 5. So to start, we need that clarified. What are the actual units of the various axes.
Next, the only time the word 'recombination' is present is in the Introduction where it is noted that cells with recombination catalysts present will be discussed elsewhere. Does that mean this cell is open? The paper doesn't specify. Back in 1996 CFers were acting like they had proved recombination wasn't an issue and could be ignored (NOT!). Is that what is going on here?
Then, this is the only calorimeter I've seen based on temperature measurements in the gas phase being used to measure excess heat. As you noted there are 3 sets that apparently top out at different power levels, yet there is no discussion of how to decide which set to use. Perhaps it is the one that gives the biggest excess heat number? You probably need more info on that...
Figure 6 is almost useless. Everything is on top of everything else. I assume the data up around 78W input power is the excess heat event. Figure 7, 8 and 9 supposedly show excess heat production, but again, the axes are all messed up and you can't tell what is what. Have fun....
Figure 10 suggests they only observed ~0.1% excess power for 45-50 days. That means about 0.1W. Of course the Table says they observed either 150 or 250% excess. 50 days = 4.32e6 seconds. Since a W = 1 J/sec, that implies a total production of 4.32e5 J or 0.432 MJ. This disagrees with Figure 11, which supposedly integrated the energy produced to get ~300-320 MJ. A few digits off there...
Anyways...have fun figuring this out....
