You are right Bob. It might not be possible to perform the experiment in a manner that we would prefer. I do believe that they should make every attempt to reach that goal within reason. If not successful, I would like to see a report describing the obstacles that they encountered. There may be important observations that so far have avoided our detection.

Dave and Eric- I think you assume running the heating coils at a power to produce the operating temperature without the added heat source of the LENR would be possible. The heating wires may not have been able to get to the necessary power level whether they are resistance or inductive heaters to reach the operating temperature of about 1000 degrees. Such a test may not have been possible. Keep in mind that we do not know the nature of the heating elements, be they resistive or inductive. The thermocouple inside the reactor should be the best indicator of internal temperatures. What did it read at the calibration and at operation?

This is an excellent idea and I assume that the MFMP guys will perform the experiment. Their results will be quite revealing.

Even if you you're worried about running the E-Cat without fuel at high temperatures, a resistance heater running at the same power should be fine. That would have provided a better basis for calibration than running the same E-Cat to be tested at a much lower temperature. Eric
