Horace, Calorimetry is done through temperature monitorring, simple on the equipment a bit more demanding on the experimentalist and analysis. In due time we will post more details on the analysis as a help.
> Device looks kinda small Yes and I put a lot effort in making it even smaller. The smaller the reactor is the less material (nickel powder, catalyst, hydrogen, etc) you will use, keeping the cost for operation down. Besides it will keep temperature control easier (this is a problem in Rossi's original E-Cat, thats why he moved to the flat-cat). It further will keep the power needs low so we can get a low power, hence cheaper, power supply. Finally, it adds to the safety, as a little bit of hydrogen is less dangerous than a lot of it. Why would you want a big one?
