The excitement around here is only matched by the intense collaboration.  I feel like we are pioneering not only a new energy possibility, but also, a new possibility for the way science is done in the internet age.

Before we started this phase of the experiment this morning, we already had followers anticipating it on any number of LENR blog sites.

As we fired it up, we had Bob, Nic, Julian, and Mat on a Google Hangout watching live and updating the web.

For the last two hours we have been crunching data like mad, watching the data, and answering calls.  Malachi was here trying out the other data points for a cleaner calibration curve and troubleshooting software issues with Scott, our programming guru.

Mathieu, meanwhile, was fielding a call from Francesco Celani offering a few more good suggestions about ways to achieve better loading if needed later.  

And as the data comes out, we are sharing our spreadsheets.

And the data is coming in live to the whole team.  This is right at a new step in the power as it went up to 13W.

I don't know about the rest of you, but this level of international, real time collaboration on this science is thrilling.  And it's a highly recommendable way to spend one's birthday.
