It seems clear that the thermography is way off - because the built in inconel heater wires would fail at <1350°C. (The peak temp from thermography is 1412°C). And the wires would necessarily be much hotter than the external surface of the reactor - if they are wound tightly around an inner core with little or no conductive contact with outer shell then that outer shell will only be around 1000°C and there will have been little or no LENR output.
Until or unless that can be explained satisfactorily the rest of the test results are nothing but castles in the air.
