Title: Thermoelectric heat flow transducer

Abstract: A calorimetric transducer comprising spaced parallel metallic plates sandwiching an open region of high thermal resistivity. A plurality of wires of high thermal conductivity bridge the open space to reduce the thermal resistivity thereof to a predetermined level and further function to structurally support the plates as well as to form a plurality of differential thermocouples therewith. Means are provided to serially connect the differential thermocouple to provide an amplified response and a flux meter is provided to pesent a visual indication of the flux rate measured by the calorimetric transducer.
