-----Original Message----- From: Peter Heckert BTW, around anno 1950 there where special hydrogen-iron resistors available. These are iron filaments in a hydrogen atmosphere. These where used for current limiting.
When the Iron filament reaches a temperature above some 100 degrees, the resistance will go up and the current will be limited. I wonder if anybody has made precise calorimetry for such a device. Should I get such a beast and try it? ;-) Definitely you should try a simple test, Peter ! To wit: Iron is also a prominent catalyst in Mills CQM theory because of the energy "hole" that occurs when the first three ionized electrons are temporarily removed - which adds up to 54.742 eV. A perfect fit would be 54.4 eV (4Ry) but the vibration modes of a hot filament should present the proper kind of catalytic hole on occasion, and the result should be UV emission. Most UV at that level is downshifted by the glass, but you could possibly see fluorescence in a darkened room for a few seconds, when everything is switched off - that is - if there is a Mills' reaction. If so, then proceed to calorimetry :-) Jones
