[NewCandle] SEC - Strategic Erg Command

[Nick Reiter]

Hi all,

I guess then that I am at a loss, and that its Dr.
Stiffler's claims against mine.  As far as I can tell,
my rig is an honest replication of one of the posted
system geometries.  Just as one data point does not
make a plot, two can only begin to define a parameter
space.  I'm hoping that a few more folks try this, and
we can see how many successful replications wash out. 
I made my measurements in as typical a manner as I
could.  I am not familiar with a Luxon light meter - I
do have to wonder how linear the output of one would
be if they are used for photography.  I'm used to
using either photocells or photodiodes for calibration
of solar simulators, neytral density filters, etc.

Or it may well be that "it" just wasn't happening in
my circuit.  Maybe wrong time of day, wrong lab
environment.  I'm not being facetious - I do believe
some phenomena are that fussy - seen it myself.

I did take pics of the set-up, and can happily supply
a list of equipment names and models if anyone wants
to get that detailed in their analysis.

Let me ask you this, Jones... you have tried the LED
banks - what does YOUR eye say when you run them off
of the oscillator versus DC?  5x may be hard to
discern, but 50x would be apparent to most viewers,
and certainly would look different on high speed
photography.

All the best,

N

The Holy Grail 'neath ancient Roslin waits.
The blade and chalice guarding o'er Her gates. 
Adorned in the masters' loving art, She lies;
She rests at last beneath the starry skies.
