- Back when P&F made their announcement I wondered what all the arguments
- about thermometers were about. So I set out to make measurements which
- did not depend on temperature gradients. Now I find myself on the other
- side of the argument.
-
- Jed, you have a model whether you know it or not. Your model is that the
- thermometer tells you something about the calorimeter power level. As I
- remember it, Takahashi made a rather large change in calibration between
- the original data and the MIT presentation. I expect a few more changes
- as he learns what the "model" is for his calorimeter.
-
- Sorry that you say that you can look inside your calorimeter. Guess you
- have a better design than I as I do not know how to put in a window
- without introducing a large variable error.
-
- No one has discussed my first order system model. Les Earnest, I know
- you studied this at MIT in the same course that I took. Are you listening?
- Is it possible that none of you have used spice like programs to model
- physical systems? What do you do with all those computers?? I will be
- the first to admit it is a weak model, but I was very surprised when it
- told me there was no net power!
