Get a countercurrent heat exchanger and hook up the primary input to a good healthy flow of dry steam. Run some cool water through the secondary circuit. Take the T out thermocouple and bond it to the copper block of the heat exchanger as near as you can get to the steam input. That's what I suspect Rossi actually did or close to it. But I wasn't there. I can't tell enough from the pictures. Rossi, of course, limited the picture taking and performed the take down of the device. I suspect he didn't want anyone to know precisely where the thermocouple was during the run. Obviously I can't prove that.
