There is also the issue of changing heat data quantization coinciding with data glitches and places where the power in/out behavior changes. How can the quantization change?? Its almost as if Parkhomov created the data by scaling sections and then finally cut and pasted them together. Perhaps there's a simple explanation, but I couldn't see it.

Amazing, so its almost certain those photos show the original blue box from Italy was cannibalised and reassembled to form the red 1MW unit used for the 1 year test. So the IH cash was used to purchase a new larger shipping container and some MDF painted blue to house the old silver wrapped reactor modules. I've noted before the supposed control units were made using old surplus Italian computer equipment. Rossi must have been laughing his head off, what a masterpiece.

Abd, I think you cracked it! Personal cooling vests and clothing )))

I have made the suggestion of the nuclear powered toe nail clippers to Rossi, maybe a positive response

Yes, but a space of 1000 cubic metres has only 4.64 times the surface area of 10 cubic metres and thus only requires a heater 4.64 times more powerful to reach temperature equalibrium where thermal losses equal heat output. If 10kW is required to heat a sauna of 10m3 (12.9m2 surface area) then 1MW would be sufficient to heat a room of 10 million m3 (1,292m2 surface area) to the same temperature. Thats a very large space, goodness knows what Rossi's little warehouse was like! Even assuming the insulation was 10 times (worst case will be 3 to 5) less efficient than a sauna that still equates to sauna tempertures for a 10,000 m3 warehouse.

Sifferkoll's sauna analogy was based on the manufacturers recommendation that heating power be directly related to the cubic capacity of the room and assumed that this was an indication of a rooms capability to lose heat. In fact the recommendation is made to ensure the room heats up within a defined time period using thermostatic control, hence the cubic capacity. Clearly heat loss in an enclosed space is determined directly by surface area and insulation (including open apertures), not the cubic space. 1MW of heat in a small factory would be incredibly difficult to deal with.

Superwave, never full 3-phase, whats all this about? Is the report wrong? All three heating coils were visibly the same colour when heated and all 3 phases were instrumented and measured by the power meter.

@andrea.s
Impressive work and clearly indicates a serious connection problem with the PCE830, whether intentional or not. I assume the trigger is always phase 1 (V1) and cannot be selected. Do we know who supplied the test meters and was the provenance the same for both TPR1 and 2?
OK, just noted you mentioned the meters triggering specs as well. -
I must have missed the discusion on calculated power input using the triac phase waveform. Was this done recently with up to date information on the heating wire used? This is an excellent reality check.

Hi,
As can be seen from a higher resolution image the insulation is around 5" diameter and the pipe union is therefore about 2" diameter.
No sign of a flow meter. -
Ah, yes I was aware of the timing issue and understand, this is not related to that. I took Parkhomov's data and performed some simple analysis work in a new speadsheet. It seems to highlight some serious issues with the temperature data.
-
I'm talking about temperature quantization, not time or power input and it changed at least 4 times with matching breaks in data. Total breaks in data occured 11 times. You would of course get this if the data was scaled before cut and paste. Each time the behavior of the reactor altered at these points as can be seen from the power/temperature relationship.
-
I also looked into that data and there was much more than cut and paste. Quantization of the temperature values changed at various places including the obvious cut and paste positions. These quantization transition points were then used to highlight a power/temperature graph which revealed unique patterns that pointed to the graph being hacked together.
