I suspect that any form of calorimeter will raise additional questions. Who can say at this point what the effect of the moving air will be upon the reaction taking place within the device? It is not difficult to imagine that excess flow will cause the outer glass temperature to drop as it takes away heat. We can not be positive that the reaction at the wire is not dependent upon the temperature of the hydrogen gas which would be reduced unless extreme care is taken. This device is temperature dependent, so any time heat is disrupted things will change.
The other side of the coin it that it might now be possible to vary one of the parameters under control that can be measured. This additional variable effects might shed light upon the operation of the device.

That way you don't have to rely on the measurement of the voltage and current into the fan. He said something about pressure as the reason; but, I don't get that.
