The tests held in December 2012 and March 2013 are in fact subsequent to a previous attempt in November 2012 to make accurate measurements on a similar model of the E - Cat HT on the same premises. In that experiment the device was destroyed in the course of the experimental run, when the steel cylinder containing the active charge overheated and melted.

That sounds like a pretty interesting experiment.

I'm bothered, though, by their method of measuring heat production ("Measurement of the produced heat was performed with high-resolution thermal imaging cameras, recording data every second from the hot reactor tube.").

What is it that bothers you about this high tech way of measuring heat (which is accepted across multiple industries)?

"I'm bothered, though, by their method of measuring heat production ("Measurement of the produced heat was performed with high-resolution thermal imaging cameras, recording data every second from the hot reactor tube."). "

Why?? It is a perfectly straightforward and well-accepted way of measuring high temperatures. The only possibility of error is if the manufacturer's provided calibrations are in error. FAR better than the old-fashioned "hot wire" optical method that I used many years ago.
