The point 2 is CRITICAL when the measuremnt is done with point 1, because without using a demister you made a mesuremnt error that *over-extimate* the real energy produced.
Over-estimate by how much? 470 kW? I doubt it. The exact power level does not matter. An hour after you turn off input power, the pipe coming out out would be at room temperature. It would be obvious there is no heat. You do not need high precision to prove the thing is producing anomalous heat. The colonel's methods are standard HVAC techniques, and they are fine.
Anyone can always think of a more precise way, to make a measurement. The question is: Will the extra precision add to the confidence of the result? Or will it only add meaningless extra digits of precision while confusing the issue with extra layers of complexity? The suggestions made here by skeptics will have the latter effect.
