Errata Inner Cylinder Hypothesis The inner cylinder hypothesis are wrong when it comes to radiation. The inner cylinder will only radiate from the area of the cylinder opening. This estimate was due to melting problems when trying to seal the openings. Heat was probably convected away through the openings in higher amounts but this has now been omitted in this Errata report.
Area
Weight All parts were dissembled and weighted: Outer Cylinder: 1272,7 g Inner Cylinder: 705,4 g Ceramic Resistors: 2292,8 g Ceramic Washers: 24,4 g Putty: 27,7 g Active Material: 20,38 g Total Weight: 4343,4 g The central thing for power and energy density measurements will be the weight of the active material.
Temperature Temperature Measurements Measured by IR Camera Precision +/- 0.1 C Data taken by snapshots every minute for 420 minutes 150 x 120 measure points Emissivity set to 1 to only account for Radiant Temperature ECAT HT Key Resolution 128 x 32 measure points
Emissivity Emissivity is defined, e = P g /P b, Kinetic Temperature, T k Radiant Temperature, T r T r = e 1/4 T k IR Camera Measures T r and calculates T k by entering the emissivity, e. If set to, e =1, then one reads T r.
Radiation
Convection
Conduction As is seen from the setup there will also be heat losses due to conduction. In this case there can be heat conduction through the wirings and also from the steel framework. This amount has been impossible to estimate and is therefore omitted in the calculations.
Power Power vs Time Max Output Power 8.4 kW Max Radiation: 7.5 kW Max Convection:0.9 kW Max Input Power 3.6 kW COP at Maximum 2.3 Energy vs Time Total Output 17.9 kWh Total Input 8.3 kWh Total Radiation Output 14.9 kWh Total Convection Output 2.9 kWh Avg COP: 2.2
Power and Energy Densities Mass of Active Material g Max Net Power 4.85 kW Max Power Density 238 kW/kg Total Net Energy 9.57 kWh Minimum Energy Density 470 kWh/kg (Hydrogen burned with Oxygen has 39 kWh/kg)
COP COP vs Time Drops because Input Power Steps Max measured value 3 Initially falls with power but at the end recovers Avg COP vs Time Avg COP around 2.2 The increase in the end is due to Heat After Death and the early losses are due to Heat Capacity in the materials
Heat After Death Power After Death Drops from 8.4 kW to 802 W in 34 minutes Still 802 W when measurements ends Energy and Temperature Temperature drops from 1074 K to 572 K in 34 minutes Still 299 C at end of measurments Energy released after death 1460 Wh Needed Cp = 1460*3.6/(4.4*502)=2.4 kJ/kgK Steel J/kgK, Ceramics J/kgK Example with 1 kJ/kgK Specific Heat = 611 Wh
Conclusion »The ”Rossi effect” is verified »The Power source can not be of chemical nature
