do not try to take the quote out of the obvious intended context. I was

example just because you make a new path does in no way mean you cannot use
existing shoes....... You missed the entire point.
I still think that a standalone unplugged demo is the best approach - not high
wattage and fancy instruments and lots of wires and computer programs.

Fine except for the last sentence. Please do not select a method of calorimetry
where is no path! Select a conventional method. The most boring method you can
find, with off-the-shelf instruments and textbook techniques that no HVAC
engineer would quarrel with.
Extraordinary claims call for the most ordinary proof you can come up with.
