I also said: ". . . Presumably the anomalous reaction occurred in the inner cylinder, but thermodynamically it makes no difference where, exactly, it originated.

He does not seem to know much about heat. He also thinks that the third wire is "extra" or "dead." I wrote to him: "There is not an extra wire. It is not dead. This is 3-phase power. Please look that up if you do not understand the concept. Please do not touch an exposed wire in a 3-phase plug. It is not 'dead.' It will shock you."
