That was the quote that immediately caught my eye. If you get more out than you put in, let's harness this new source of energy immediately.

"due to the replacement of the tungsten steel wires with slightly thicker steel wires"
Thus voiding the manufacturer's warranty.

"
What kind of a thermometer measures that much heat?"That's what I'm wondering as well.
The phenomenon may be due to some sort of secondary fission of the heated material. Temperatures that high could very plausibly get into the range of where any kind of material would come apart on an atomic level.
I find the method used to determine the temperature to be just as fascinating as the phenomenon itself.

The average stun gun produces 500,000 volts but it won't kill ya because of low amps, but do not stick your finger in a light socket.Extreme High heat very low quantity.

"Hey, let's try this..."

These are scientists. We really shouldn't be letting them play with matches, much less anything bigger.
Just prior to the first nuclear test in July, 1945, the scientists were running a betting pool on how big the explosion would be.
One of the bets placed was that it would destroy the entire state of New Mexico.
"Woowee! That blowed up real good!"

Maybe we could field test the Z machine on some caves along the Pakistan/Afghanistan border region. They are uninhabited, aren't they?
