I am so happy that someone SMART made a great discussion on dH/dt. I finally actually know what this gauge means, and how it is referenced to Joules/second and how it further leads to cumulative energy capacity per degree, or Joules/degree. Equations make this understanding much simpler. To those who find this concept mind blowing: NO, this is not calculus, this is algebra based on very, very elementary principles of thermodynamics used in real life in developing radiators and other cooling systems. The equations however were originally derived from calculus.

I'd love to have one of these. Loved it in MW2. More stuff to look at in cockpit 4tw.

dH/dt = Cp*(dT/dt)

I have to disagree. The equation above is based on differential calculus or rate of change. Remember, infinitesimals (e.g. dH, dT) are used to express the idea of objects so small that there is no way to see them or measure them.
