Celani Replication Project – First Run Soon: UPDATE: Running Now!
| November 12, 2012 | Posted by admin under Uncategorized |
The project to replicate Francesco Celani’s LENR reactor will possibly be starting the first experimental run today. From the progress blog, the following is noted (emphasis mine).
Today the loading has leveled off. The resistance of the Celani wire is at 15.3 ohms, and has been for the last several hours, giving an R/R0=0.83. I will post more data files and graphs soon, but I figure everybody was ready for an update.
Now that the wire appears to be loaded, we will turn off the heat and compare the cool down curve to the one in Helium and Hydrogen. If it cools slowly, maybe it is generating internal heat.
Then I will bring the Hydrogen pressure back up to starting at 3.5 bar.
Then we will ramp the power up on the nichrome and slowly heat the cell, again, to get a resistance vs. temperature curve for the fully loaded wire before we up the current into the Celani Wire.
Then we will let it cool again, give it a light vacuum pumping down and refill with the 75%H and 25%Ar back to 3.5 bar.
After that, we should be ready to start heating with current through the Celani Wire and see if we can get some clearly excessive heat. This will also give us current and temperature vs resistance in the Celani Wire. This will probably happen somewhere near 8 am US Central Time.
We will also be doing calibration regressions of the glass inside, glass outside, and thermowell sensors to try to figure out which is the best baseline to work from.
Note that the project has live data available so we’ll be able to watch the results as they come in. As of now, it is showing approximately 11 watts of excess power. Elsewhere, they note that we should not make much of the excess power showing there yet, as it could be due to calibration factors.
UPDATE: As of 8:45 am CST, they started running on the Celani wire. Not seeing much of interest in the data yet, but it looks like they haven’t ramped up the power yet. They are slowly ramping up to the suggested activation temperature by increasing power every 45 minutes.
UPDATE 2: It looks like they concluded their run for the day. They had trouble with the server they were using for live data, and have set up a new one here. It looks like they are planning to continue running for at least a few days.
Congratulations for the building of the most open LENR related site on the web.
Was the live data supposed to retrieve actual data sets ?!
If yes I found I bug ( after 2 minutes of http request from Finland and some 1,5 Megs loading appeared )
If no , my appologies for being to impatient beta tester / reader !
Anyway I sincerely hope your project will produce in measurable results and artifacts !!!
Yes, that is the correct link. Once that page loads, I click View next to the Celani cell 1.
