AURA: Reactor mass flow calorimetry testing
In the second test on the Aura reactor, me356 is in charge of warming it up and trying to optimise its performance. The output water is now flowing through the MFMP flow calorimetry system where it is tested with our own calibrated system and an off the shelf thermal watt meter.

Magnetic sensing near the AURA reactor
Can you see any magnetic field variation in this video?
I'm just now catching up a bit on your past few weeks' progress, Bob. WONDERFUL work, I so wish I could directly participate to help (near-zero resources limit me to kibitzing, though).
That's some very interesting activity, but unsurprising- if the sensors are cheap enough to deploy several with reasonable logging at your points of highest interest, running phase along with quant and time-domain analyses might give lots of even more interesting data.
Thanks - all parties and I hope the crowd learned and contributed a lot.
