Second, what's to stop him from doing the pre-heating overnight, and getting started at 7 am. These guys are professionals; they won't mind getting up early. It's true, you might want a witness to measure the input energy, but if it runs long enough to exclude chemical fuel, then storage is excluded too. Then if they ran it self-sustained until 7 pm, you'd have 12 hours. Still too short, but a lot better than 3 1/4 hours. ... Please explain why it too so long for the temperature to read an elevated value during the October 28 test if the ECATs had been preheated? Dave
