Have you tried modifying/pointing a microwave at your calorimeter exit sensor to heat it so your meter spins backwards?

My neighbors basically heat my home in the winter so that would wind it back below zero which they probably would not like. One of them is close to a refrigerator and actually measured heat output but the radiator is disconnected. I got my 60ct of charge back that year.

You might not be able to wind them back (they are digital) but I'm pretty sure you can manipulate them with sufficient heat shielding something like your method to change the value.

Wait, what are they measuring? Shouldn’t they measure incoming fluid temperature, outgoing fluid temperature, and volume?

I thought the scam would be to heat the metal temperature probe inside the exit pipe faster than it rejected that heat (doable with an RF beam).
