That's nifty!
I suppose the difficulties would be:
1. Finding a micro-calorimeter with a sample holder (cavity) large
enough to accommodate the instrument. (The bowl, or whatever it is.)
2. Mechanically whacking the instrument inside the cavity.
3. Measuring the force of the whack. You might substitute a block of
wood for the instrument and measure the heat from the whack, but it
might swamp the capabilities of the instrument. Then again, this
being a calorimeter and there is no way for the heat to escape no
matter how large the initial pulse is, so perhaps not.
