Second flaw in your reasoning is that it pointless to calculate COP from the beginning of the temporarily limited test. That is because initial heating took 18 MJ energy before anything was happening inside the core. Therefore COP bears absolutely no relevance for anything because after reactor was stabilized, it used only 500 mA electricity while outputting plenty. And self-sustaining did not show unstability. Even when they reduced the hydrogen pressure, E- Cat continued running for some 40 minutes.
The format I used I think is very useful for calibration runs, where it is known there is no excess heat. If the protocol is good and sufficiently long, and the measurements good, then at the end of the run the COP ends up at 1.
