Huh?
Dave is talking about making a low cost flow meter, something which tells you what the flow rate is; you're talking about making a dP vs Q curve for radiators when you somehow know exactly what Q, the flow rate, is.
Though of course I'd love to make a dP vs Q curve without spending too much money.

atl least that is what i saw a while back on toms hardware
duno if that is still the case... anyone want to try?

Offtopic, but I when I bought my Athlon 3400+ almost a year ago I accidently tested this: after 15 seconds or so the CPU got too hot and I was afraid I was going to have to buy another one.
I didn't have too, because it automatically shut itself down when it got too hot. Same for Intel CPU's since the Pentium 3 if I remember correctly. Internal temperature sensors.
