Secure a piece of history

Scritto da Robert Greenyer on .

In order to get where we are - we have had to make things, test things, use and abuse things. Some of these items have been featured in this blog, others have not. Some have served their time and now we want to give you a chance to help us by letting you secure a piece of history via a donation.

In a short while we will have a link on the site that will allow you to say what you would donate to secure one or more of these artefacts. This will give us a chance to recycle some funds at the same time!

@Dave

We will be launching on a major social funding site in the next weeks.

Have you considered using Kickstarter.com ?

Ah so it's not one of the wires from Celani, just pure Constantan, ok.

@Ecco

It is plain constantan wire.

Served its purpose.

Don't worry about the amount of wire. It is all good.

So, are you really scrapping this piece of Constantan wire too?
quantumheat.org/.../...

It seems like a waste to me. Couldn't it be reused for a different test? For example where you monitor only temperatures and not the electrical resistance (where the wire configuration shows its usefulness the most). It could work pretty well if you pair it with a control reactor without the active wire.

Fill gas chamber with hydrogen, apply heat, measure temperatures. The chamber containing the active wire should show excess heat if it works.

And since you don't need to wire it onto a long mica support you could use a smaller test chamber, for example by using it like this: iecdomain.com/.../

BTW, this is one of the reasons why I thought that 3 meters of treated Constantan wire weren't a lot to play with.

I suggest you have a minimum donation for some of these items, as the test cells are certainly worth top dollar.

Two things.

First: the secure-a-piece- of-history is a really great idea!

Second: don't you guys ever sleep? It's seems you work seven days a week.

I truly love your dedication (applause from the audience).

Indeed what better way to lose sleep than in an endeavor that can change the entire world for the better!
