Hello again, Mr. Catania, I realize I'm just as guilty of using this term as you, but IMO the continued use of the phrase, "thermal inertia" to explain the interesting thermal temperature changes tends to confuse the issue more than it helps. Technically speaking, what's happening here has little to do with "inertia", certainly not in a mechanical sense. "Inertia" implies that there are Newtonian/mechanical forces at play. What we are trying to assess here are the effects of Thermal Propagation - how heat transfers (migrates) throughout Rossi's eCat configuration.
A more objective study of query would be to perform a Finite Element Method simulation of the thermal effects in order to observe how temperatures are alleged to propagate through Rossi's eCats. Obviously, the computer model would have to be based on the physical properties of Rossi's eCats as accurately as possible. Alas, I suspect there are none on this forum that might possess the dimensional/physical specifications of Rossi's eCats, or the technical know-how on how to run the appropriate FEM s/w. As for me, I have performed thousands of FEMM, (Finite Element Method Magnetic) simulations, but never on the effects of thermal migration. Alas, I can't be of much assistance. With that said, I have read your comments several times. Your first sentence starts out stating: "The data after power off are not consistent with a temperature increase from before power off." You continue with additional comments that confuse me even more. Perhaps your command of the English language is not terribly good. I know I'm dyslexic at times, so I try to give allowances the literary & grammatical eccentricities of others. All I know is that I have yet to understand what you are trying to say. I do know that you end by saying I'm "...confused if [I] think [I] see anomalous production after power off. That part I "get". ;-) Indeed, perhaps I am confused, Mr. Catania. But then, perhaps the confusion is at the other end. Time will tell. I'm content to wait it out and see what develops. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
