Yes. As I said, I like the way the inner and outer thermocouples switch temperatures. This indicates a source of heat starting up within the cell. Incidentally, I managed to type some Chinese (using Japanese input mode), and I ran it through Google.translate.com. I figured out the first three characters are 不锈钢 meaning "stainless steel." I confirm this says inner and outer thermocouple: 不锈钢反应器内壁热电偶 Stainless steel reactor wall thermocouple 不锈钢反应器外壁热电偶 Stainless steel reactor outer wall thermocouple Try it yourself! Other info: The size of the reactor is 68 mm diameter, 150 mm long, 10 mm thick wall, which works out to exactly 1 L. The author estimates this is 5 MJ of anomalous heat. The heat of formation of water is 285,800 J/mole so that's 17 moles or 34 g of hydrogen. I believe 34 g of hydrogen at 6 bar takes up ~43 L. I would appreciate it if someone would check my arithmetic, which I too often get wrong. See: http://hydrogen.pnl.gov/hydrogen-data/hydrogen-density-different-temperatures-and-pressures (6 bar = 0.6 MPa. This table shows hydrogen density at 1 MPa at 25°C is 0.8 kg/m^3. This is 0.034 kg, or 0.043 m^3 = 43 L) - Jed
