As noted that was just Cude's suggestion. He did not pre-heat it. The reactor vessel had no water in it when the test began. The first thing they did was take it off the table and weigh it, empty. It was not warm when they did that. If he had actually pre-heated it, the skeptics would all be screaming that he magically "stored up" the heat in advance. It is better to do the whole test, from start to finish, in the presence of the observers. Anyone who thinks 4 hours of heat after death is insufficient would not be satisfied with 40 hours or 4 years. You can't satisfy irrational people who set every-receding goals with no technical justification. - Jed
