Closed System Greenhouse Effect Laboratory Experiment-Original Data

Conventional closed lab experiments using high-energy light sources and simple temperature sensors showed that CO2-filled bottles often became hotter than bottles containing air. From this, they concluded that it proved the Greenhouse Effect. However, the thermometers and thermocouples used in those experiments did not measure absorption by Greenhouse Gases. In this study, a closed system laboratory experiment was designed and constructed to verify the accuracy of the aforesaid conclusion. In this experiment, both thermocouples and an infrared detector were used to collect the data. The results showed that the barrier holding the gas absorbed 98.3% of the infrared radiation. And the remaining 1.7% was not observed to be associated with absorption by the Greenhouse Gases. The experiment showed that Non-Greenhouse Gases performed as well as or better than the Greenhouse Gases relating to increased temperatures. Data from experiments using only scalar-measuring devices, like thermometers and thermocouples, proved inadequate. It further showed that infrared detectors can measure infrared absorption. However, the amount of absorption by the containment membrane was overwhelming and obscured any measurable observation of any Greenhouse Gas absorption. The conclusion was that the conventional Greenhouse Effect laboratory experiments using closed systems failed to prove the Greenhouse Effect theory.

Abstract

Conventional closed lab experiments using high-energy light sources and simple temperature sensors showed that CO2-filled bottles often became hotter than bottles containing air. From this, they concluded that it proved the Greenhouse Effect. However, the thermometers and thermocouples used in those experiments did not measure absorption by Greenhouse Gases. In this study, a closed system laboratory experiment was designed and constructed to verify the accuracy of the aforesaid conclusion. In this experiment, both thermocouples and an infrared detector were used to collect the data. The results showed that the barrier holding the gas absorbed 98.3% of the infrared radiation. And the remaining 1.7% was not observed to be associated with absorption by the Greenhouse Gases. The experiment showed that Non-Greenhouse Gases performed as well as or better than the Greenhouse Gases relating to increased temperatures. Data from experiments using only scalar-measuring devices, like thermometers and thermocouples, proved inadequate. It further showed that infrared detectors can measure infrared absorption. However, the amount of absorption by the containment membrane was overwhelming and obscured any measurable observation of any Greenhouse Gas absorption. The conclusion was that the conventional Greenhouse Effect laboratory experiments using closed systems failed to prove the Greenhouse Effect theory.
