Any COP higher than 2 would be easy to detect with the setup I have proposed. Also, it will silence one argument of the skeptics, that there is no control in the LENR experiments (i.e. an easily verifiable null hypothesis). One can always find problems with calorimetry... With two reactors operating in about the same conditions, one with fuel and the other without, if the reactor with fuel is significantly hotter than the one without, we have excess heat present.
