Fuzzy:

There is a reasonable Plan B.  You assume that the a ceramic high-power wire-wound resistor with the same specifications can be found from a second source locally.  You have the material composition and physical type of resistor, ceramic cylinder hollow body, the resistance, the maximum power dissipation and the dimensions.  The number of turns and the resistive wire used in the second source is likely to be nearly identical to the original, so you should be fine.  It doesn't really matter if the inductance is slightly different.  If need be you can adjust your pulse wave timing to compensate for that.  Good luck!

Janne:

I forget the specifics and am too tired to look it up, but about 1000 years ago, a scientist looked at the sun at noon time and noted how high it was in the sky.  Then he traveled due south for one full day, perhaps he traveled 100-200 miles.  Then he noted the angle of the sun in the sky at noon.  With that information he deduced the size of the spherical Earth with quite high accuracy.  Way cool, eh!

Hi everyone,

After the testing is completed on the common RA replication build, I will be making my Borosilicate Glass Tube, 10 Ohm resistor to the available specifications -

The load resistor was made by Specific Heat CC (SA). It comprises a 10 ohm hollow core wire wound ceramic structure with a length of 150 mm (5.9055 in long). and a diameter of 32 mm ( 100.5308 mm / 3.9579 in circumference ). 48 turns of resistance wire (4825.4784 mm / 189.9795 in / 15.8316 ft long) are spaced at 1 mm. It was chosen for its inductance (8.64 micro Henries).

I'm not to sure what the maximum temperature will be so the liquid inside the tube is up in the air right now until some information is obtained. This device will more than likely be in some containment container for any accidental spillage of the liquids used. Any comments or further ideas would be appreciated especially fluids that could be used over 212 F or 100 C with out any damage to the fluid. 

The testing method for temperature I have envisioned a way of using the tube itself as part of the measuring device -

Regards,
Fuzzy

Hey Glen,

About your sketch of the liquid filled tube:  What I will say may be a bit surprising to you but adding the liquid to the tube will have one effect only.  It will take longer to make your measurements because you will have to wait longer for the temperature to stabilize.  The stabilized temperature will be the same if you use the liquid or not.  In this sense adding liquid to your tube will serve no real function at all with respect to your measurements, and make it take longer to make your measurements.

What I said above may throw you off kilter.  Don't let that happen!  Just think about what I said and if it doesn't make any sense to you feel free to ask questions.

Hoppy - when your average electrical engineer can also explain dark energy, dark matter, the casimir effect and other sundery imponderables, then I will also take your theory of inductors more seriously.  Until then I would sooner test it - experimentally.

I share that feeling in the pit of my stomach - but it's only because of the extraordinary arrogance associated with mainstream science.  Why are you guys not happy to have your convictions tested experimentally?  You should welcome it.  All such may strengthen your 'belief' structure rather than otherwise.  And I would remind you that we are only testing those paradigms.

Rosemary - Welcome to the Lions Den!

I thought Aaron was delighting you with his competent test methods and procedures  . Has he not already proved to your satisfaction that EE principles are fundamentally flawed, or are you still waiting as we are for a properly written test report based on his and Peter's DSO testing of your original circuit, to validate your COP17 claim??

IMO too much time and effort has already been expended on your heater circuit and it just rests with Aaron and Peter to prove COP17 to those that matter outside of the fora. Until they do this, all we can really do is clown around reiterating our opinions over and over again and thouroughly getting on each others nerves to boot!
