The reactor operating point was set to about 1260 ºC in the first half of the run, and at about 1400 °C in the second half.

That is a bit hotter than I like my coffee (or aluminum, gold, silver, zinc, and others)

All of the above would have melted long before the highest temps.

Hey, toast. This latest "Rossi"-like LENR junk is t.o.a., "Toast" on arrival. And not the kind to put butter on...more like closer to yellow butter heat! . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_heat

Got that? See the temps listed?

And take a peek at this color chart --->http://www.blksmth.com/heat_colors.htm

The colors you linked to are for steel. The e-cat reactor was made of another material. (Alumina)

The report goes into great detail about the measurement methods, calculations, and why they were chosen. I don’t see a reason to repeat them here. I recommend you actually go and read the full report rather than just the abstract I excerpted here.
