Discussion on basis for excess heat calculation

In this video, Ryan explains the current thinking and challenges posed by the experiments current configuration in assessing the power output from the wire. Two points, the Mica and external glass temperatures had their calibration numbers crunched in order to form a basis for excess power assessment. Ryan explains a number of possible reasons for the difference in estimated excess power including the point that the Quartz has difficulty thermalising IR whereas the Mica is better at it.
