The actual measurement that I am interesting in is the amount of power being radiated and convected away from the device. If the effective temperature can be manipulated by some process that results in less than expected power emission, then we are being fooled. That is the root of my reservations.
I have little doubt that excess power is being generated internally by the ECAT core, but an accurate accounting of that power eludes me thus far. The earlier version of the ECAT with the black painted surface appears to be subject to less error in these important calculations. It is unfortunate that the latest version remains so difficult to verify.

For small area or pin point measurement Iagree that a spot pyrometer may be more accurate, but for large or grossmeasurement I think the IR camera would be just as accurate if not moreso. I think that there is no problem using the IR cameras for accuratemeasurement of the temperature of the Rossi ecat as long as the cameraswere calibrated properly.
