I assume that you want something that will measure heat. In more specific terms, something that will convert heat into another form for human viewing. Here are a few heat sensors:
Electrical type (requires a computer to decipher)
Thermocouples - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocouple
RTDs - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_thermometer
Thermistor - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermistor
Pyrometer - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrometers
Other non-electrical heat sensors would be:
Thermometer / Capillary Tube - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_measurement
Bi-metal - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat#Mechanical
Wax Pellet - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat#Wax_pellet
Plastic strip thermometer - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_crystal_thermometer
