Not having a T will reduce the likelihood of a leak. McKubre and I have some concerns about mixing.

It is only needed to bring the cell up to the working temperature. It does not contribute directly to the reaction. It does not control the reaction the way Rossi's heat does, or Defkalion's sparking does. DC power is very stable and easy to measure with high precision. If this were 195 W of electrolysis, sparking or glow discharge the input power would be irregular and somewhat difficult to measure, but 195 W of DC power has to be the easiest thing in experimental science to measure. So the background noise is low. Having said that, from Kitamura's lecture and slides it is a little unclear what the background noise level is. Unclear to me, anyway. - Jed
