The heater is surrounded by a 316 stainless sheath that is grounded to the reactor body. It's hard to imagine a path where arcing could occur.

For what it's worth, I spoke to an application engineer at PCE Instruments several weeks ago and questioned what would be better for this measurement scenario, a hot wire anemometer or a vane anemometer with a flow hood. He said that in the flow…

This is about what we do in the field of more respectable science!

Earlier I wrote about the relative Mohs hardness of Ni and Pd, having found that worked (stamped) Pd could exceed the hardness of Ni. For that reason, I annealed my Pd chip, using the oxygen-rich part of an ordinary Propane…

Calorimeter box is ready. Unfortunately I will be heading out of town for maybe 10 days, so there it will sit.

Yes, that is why I included the Sapporo water analysis in my first report. There's slightly less Ca content than my own water supply but still plenty to support catalyzed precipitation.
The images I posted were taken after only a…

To clarify this, the sanding is where the Ni dust particles are created. I did that step under flowing water. The Calcite crystals are formed in the final step of soaking at 90°C in still tap water.
I annealed the Pd prior to use, and…

According to the dozen or so papers on HVAC testing procedures for determination of duct air flow I have read over the last couple of days, the anemometer traverse technique used by Mizuno can be improved, perhaps with a significant increase in…

I take your point about people needing a basis of technical experience in order to effectively follow published instructions. However I think you do not appreciate that the same instructions may be accomplished differently in…

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for the kind words, it's been a pleasure to contribute.

Yeah, actually we reached out to Jed a couple of weeks ago, exchanged a couple of e-mails and then asked a few questions regarding the components, but have never heard…

I agree with the "see what happens over longer timescales" and also different replications.

I'd only point out the possibility that Mizuno's results were in fact a mistake, which stays on the table, and will become stronger if…

The precision gas pressure meter part number you have listed in the paper (ULVAC, GCMT GTran ISG-1) is the part number for the sensor display only. G-TRAN-Series-ISG1 This display can be used with several different gauges of different…
