The images here were obtained from a test run of extendedMerlin that was supposed to show no activity at all.

The entire model was initialized to 300 Kelvin at 1 bar of hydrogen.

No energy was fed into the model. Nothing should have happened. Instead, activity occurred in the vicinity of the original engine.
