Another key member of the Open Source Team, Internet name "Harvey" (Harvey Gramm), has done great work in furthering the science regarding this anomalous circuit. He contributed greatly to the well-written 2009 Scientific Paper from the Open Source Team submitted to IEEE in December; and his expertise in electronics has helped ensure that the entire project has an aura of respectability, adheres to Scientific Method as much as possible, and remains well grounded in reality. Those in the Open Source Community are grateful for Harvey's input and stoic common sense.

Figure 2: A collection of several homemade 10 Ohm Resistive / Inductive Heating Elements built by Glen Lettenmaier using "Ni Cr" resistive wire around a glass tube, doped with thermal coating (Note: there should be a one wire-width space between each individual winding).
