Quantitative muzzle brake testing

I have been reading up on muzzle brakes and the degree of recoil mitigation they provide. The key point that I have picked up on from various threads seems to be a lack of quantitative measurements. I came across these videos from New Zealand and thought that some people here might be interested.

Ooh, this looks interesting. Is there a summary result available anywhere?

I haven't been able to find any of his data laid out anywhere so far. I only managed to find another test video on his website.
