He was talking about the ICCF18 demonstration, in which flow calorimetry was used. He was responding to the Gamberale report. Let me repeat the quote: *I called Alexander Xanthoulis and asked* for a comment. He didn’t dispute the result of the report but pointed out that the calorimetric set-up at the Milan demo was not made by Defkalion but by Mose. Gamberale confirmed this but explained that the set-up was made according to strict instructions from Defkalion . . . *Finally Xanthoulis pointed out* that the flow calorimetry measurements (measurement of thermal energy output by heating flowing water) were not important, but that the most important measurements were on the bare reactor, calculating the output thermal energy by measuring temperatures on various points of the reactor without heating any water (you then use a law called Stefan–Boltzmann law<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan%E2%80%93Boltzmann_law>). He told me that these measurements had been sent to Gamberale twice. This seems to imply there were a separate set of tests without flowing water, and without heating water. I am not aware of such tests. Perhaps I overlooked them. The graphs sent by Xanthoulis are uploaded at Lewan's site. There is no indication on them when, where or how they were taken. I assumed they were from the ICCF18 demonstration. It is a perfectly valid technique to measure the cell wall temperature during flow calorimetry. I recommend you do that. - Jed
