@All

Now have a SEC15-3 creating a very good and stable Xenon plasma and hot as down under.

Very Nice! Damned impressive!

Hey Doc,

That is pretty impressive indeed, though is the video cut a bit short. It feels as if you cut it in the middle of a thought?

Thanks.

@All,
First run is in progress!  If you think this is simple.......... .....Go ahead and give it a try. If I didn't have such a hard head I would have listened to Dr. Stiffler and just ordered two lab thermometers and a, coffee pot for coffee of course. Hours of measurements in the lab or hours of measurements in the lab. Either the DAQ does it or I do it!  No Way! I have to do it the hard way. I'll pay either way.

This shot is the 1st calibration run executing that, assuming my data looks good, should turn into my first attempt at COP measurements. Cross all extremeties. Here we go! First shot is the rig and the second is the strip chart. Yes I'm over sampling, call me a control freak if you will but considering the time it takes for this to return to ambient I'll abuse computers all day long. Hey that's what they're for.  I'll back off after I get a solid run. Calibration Power input is fixed at 20 VDC through a 200 Ohm 3watt ceramic resistor.

Best regards,

Jim

@All,
A word to the wise, if anyone else is even going to attempt this calorimetry, stay away from complexity here. The Rainbow kit temp sensors can't take it and don't work for squat besides being nice CHEAP novelties. They were not and are not precision sensors. I'm working on a different and greatly simplified approach. Elusive, yes, impossible, NEVER!!!  CHECK the FREAKING XENON OUT! SWEET! I would not recommend touching that, and I don't even have one running yet.  But I will.......

Best regards,

Jim

Good Afternoon Dr. Stiffler,

Received my Exciter board.  What a nice piece of work!  Have you happened to measure the Xenon surface temp with a probe or IR thermometer?

Yes Ben I have and will send you PM on that. But for all that may do this, the wires are standard soldered on the ends of the tubes. This will only last a five to six hours before the solder crystallizes. Sorry for not giving the temp here, but you can guess pretty close.
