I meant T1 on the outside of the cell, sandwiched between the cell and the the MgO thermal insulation material. It does fluctuate up and down during the run, but after the power is turned of it falls monotonically. If this were real excess heat T1 would track T2 more closely, instead of falling the way it does. I refer here to Fig. 1. Figure 2, for the second run, shows a similar pattern, with T1 falling steadily and monotonically after the power is turned off, while T2 goes bananas. However, this graph also shows T4 increasing after the power turns off. T4 is mounted on the outside of the MgO insulation. It rises from 110°C up to 167°C. That could not be the effect of room temperature changes. It does look like anomalous heat being generated inside the cell. The thermocouples T1, T2 and T4 do not agree with one another. They do not track the same pattern. This is not what I would expect to see with real anomalous heat. - Jed
