I can only understand THHuxleynewobsession with power input to the heater from an assumption of fraud. If someone was determined to commit a fraud in this, that person could use some convoluted circuitry and tricks to have a concealed input masked within an exotic waveform.
You are the one obsessed to find a fault in the simple most undebatable of the reported data: the heater power consumption. There is no way that data is wrong as it was measured, and if you suspect that, you are tacitly accusing Mizuno of fraud.
Ok - so we must then disagree. And you must explain those 2017 data that concern ascoli.
As for my remarks on the spreadsheets of the 120 W tests performed in May 2016 tests, let me point out once again that they refer to two different facts:
(a) - a mistake in the wiring of the experimental set-up, which caused two different heater resistors to be powered during the active and control runs. This mistake is certain, because it is documented by the discrepancies between the values of V and I in the 2 spreadsheets of the 120 W active and control test (1). Furthermore, the trends of the curves evidence that the active reactor was heated by an internal resistance heater, while the control reactor was heated by an external resistance heater (2);
(b) – a modification of the data reported in the spreadsheet of the active run, so that the original data measured by the Yokogawa power analyzer were replaced by the product V*I. This modification is certain, because it is documented by the differences between the data reported in the "Input power" columns of the two spreadsheets of the active and control runs (3).
No one is saying that the mistake (a) was deliberate. In my opinion, as well as in THH's, it was an inadvertent mistake.
However, it's also clear, that the modification (b) can't be equally inadvertent. At best it can be justified by a legitimate reason, but the lack of explanations by JR on the inconsistencies in the spreadsheets doesn't help to imagine which this justification could be.
(1) Mizuno reports increased excess heat
