Ton of great work here!
@stickstones haz been keeping me posted on his work. Interesting to see the time required to come up to temp as well as the ability to keep temperature during the draw. The RBT HSA heater tech in Milaana and Zion will increase in power as the flow increases. The inflow of air drops the temperature of the SS heater thereby dropping its resistance thereby in increasing the current. The same happens with Splinter if used in voltage mode but to a lesser degree in wattage and TC mode.
In the classic scientific experiment variables known to effect the measured output are held constant... room temp, device thermal equilibrium, Inlet flow rate, load chamber material, location of TCs etc. then the assumptions are listed... changes in room temp are controlled, pressure drop of the test set-up etc.
As a manufacture it would be beneficial to have standard tests for: time to temperature, temperature stability during the draw, uniformity of load chamber temperature (convection cooler at the sidewalls as compared to the middle - varies laminar to turbulent). An apples to apples industry standard for desirable attributes would allow for a great benchmark for as all to work to.
@RastaBuddhaTao is working with
@stickstones to create a program to help fund this work with some of the proceeds from the RBT Open Source project on the DIY thread.
