In the paper, he said he is limited by the use of the kind glass of glass, used for observation, which is fragile beginning at 275C. The next step, is to use quartz, which can support higher temperatures.
If peak temperatures are an issue, it could be an idea to decrease input power when using more than an active wire in this reactor type. For trade shows and the like, this would still lead to a useful (although "dumb") increase of the COP.
But I guess Francesco Celani will probably want to increase / improve other control parameters first. Using higher temperatures to try reaching a self-sustaining operation threshold (as he hopes in his latest presentation) might be something that quartz glass could enable.
Cheers, S.A.
