A calorimeter comes in different forms, but it is a device that allows you to contain a substance and burn it. The released energy from the compound is then released within the calorimeter, and through changes in temperature of the calorimeter and water that usually surrounds the substance, scientists can calculate the joules of energy released by the substance which will be near equivalent except for lost energy to the total energy contained within a substance. This is how you get calorie measurements in the food you eat. A sample calorimetry test is done and applied to all the same type of food.

Why is governmental funding important for scientific research?

Scientific research is often not profitable, but necessary for advancement of our species. Much research does not produce economically feasible technology, however can be an important stepping stone towards useful tech. Without these stepping stones, we don't get to the useful tech. Also, government funding allows research into other areas that don't necessarily have any obvious useful application. This type of research can sometimes lead to radical new discoveries and opportunities.
