As I said in the other thread, my suggestion is: Run! Don't even think
about it! If this was upcoming wedding and you were the groom, I would
suggest you change your name and head for Mexico.

It was the worst method of measuring heat I have ever attempted. People
suppose that Elforsk's method with the IR camera and the textbook
assumptions about black body radiation are crude, or unreliable. Ha! They
don't know from unreliable. I would far rather have to deal with that than
large-scale air flow calorimetry.

Small scale air flow calorimetry, such as the MFMP are trying to do, might
work better. I have no experience with it.
