More detailed work on the prototype. Foil prices were higher than we had expected, which encouraged a further study of what was actually needed. The idea of uniform, low-temperature walls was given up on this account, much encouraged by Jørn and the budget-bullies. Instead smaller, warmer panels were considered. This required a study of required foil temperatures at various foil areas. We decided to write a small piece of matlab-code that could determine shape factors for a geometry loosely resembling the prototype. This took us some days, but Peter got to know matlab a lot better, for which he will be ever grateful. It is concluded that the smaller panels probably will work. It is noted that there the subjects might experience cold backs.

The availability of various foils and controls was loosely studied, but without reaching final conclusions on what to buy.

We got a personal telephone, but still need our own number.
