#2This is really cool, given how expensive thermal cams can be. The main sensor used by the author (Melexis MLX90614) costs only ~14$ at my local retailer, you can probably get it a bit cheaper if you order online.

#3An alternative is the 8x8 Grid-EYE from Panasonic, costs around £30. The Melexis equivalent is a 16x4 which costs about the same. Note you'll need to fill in a fairly lengthy export/release form to get hold of the Grid-EYE sensors. I haven't had any problems ordering them from Farnell, just tell them what your project is.
Both are fairly easy to talk to over I2C. You can make a passable wireless (low-res) thermal camera using something like a Particle Photon.
The MLX90640 isn't out until September unfortunately.
NB: Actually Farnell have the Grid-EYE for only £16, but the full range ( -20 to 100) model is backordered. You can still get the 0 to 80 version easily.

#4I built a similar, although much less sophisticated prototype at a hackathon a few months ago: https://github.com/fauria/thermoman-360
In case someone finds it useful, I published a Seeed Studio recipe: http://www.seeed.cc/Grove-MLX90614-p-1157.html and adapted an Arduino library: https://github.com/fauria/bildr-mlx90614 for the MLX90614.

Flir and Seek have pretty good usb thermal cameras that attach to your smartphone for about $250 if you want something ready made

I already contacted the site owner. He is doing what he can right now ;-)

I really like Melexis uses SO-19 packaging instead of the Panasonic Grid-eye SMD.
Here are the octopart links for both:

#9Nice project! This reminds me of a beautiful series of blog posts of a guy who built a single pixel pinhole thermal camera:

Did Endesa / Opinno provided you with the hardware?
Congrats for the prize, btw !
