Or you can just buy one of these:  http://www.igloocoolers.com/Coolers/MaxCold/70-Quart-Ice-Cube-MaxCold-Roller  That puppy holds over 60 liters ~= 250kJ/C of water with a low thermal leak rate.  You can easily run a 125MJ test with that, IE the HHV of a gallon of gasoline, or over 30kWh.  You can always wrap one in radiant barrier to drive the leak rate down further.

Wow!  90 bucks!  That's well within many budgets.  It doesn't have "kludge" written all over it.

If their 120 hour claim is based on filling half the thing with ice:  35 quarts @ 316kJ/quart ~= 25W leak for ~30C delta T, so call it a 1C/W thermal resistance.

Target sells them for less than $40.

Here you go Luc; the first part of my "Power Measurement Basics" series. I was tired while making this video, so apologies for the quality of my presentation. I'm not that good at making these videos anyway.

Let me know if anything requires clarification.

I just realized that the order of the individual parts of my video are all messed up. I will have to re-assemble and upload them again.
