"The whole process is slagless and the only product is molten Fe–Si alloy drained from the bottom and carbon monoxide (CO) effluent gas which burns at the top of the furnace, combining with the atmospheric oxygen to become CO2 which is released through a stack after scrubbing as per applicable environment regulations."
The CO that was not transmuted to Si and Fe is burned as CO2 and vented then scrubbed. Neither C nor O combined chemically with Fe–Si as per chemical analysis. But carbon was thought to transmute to Si and Fe as per Carbon Arc LENR experiments [5–8] in which anomalous generation of Si and Fe was observed.. Using the estimated energy release values of 17.13 MeV/atom of Si or 49.58 MeV per atom of Fe given in Appendix B, for the postulated nuclear transmutation reactions, it can be shown that corresponding to 4.25 ton of metal transmutation, the power generated should have been the equivalent of the total thermal power generated by hundreds of 1000MWe nuclear power stations. Appendix B contains the expected excess energy gain from nuclear binding energy released in the transmutation process. This situation goes to show that transmutation produced by the LENR reaction is not a major source of excess heat, Richard P. *Feynman:* It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with *experiment*, it's wrong.
