Previously, I wrote that Zhang's tests tend to "peter out" after about 3 hours. I said they stop producing heat. That is incorrect. The spreadsheet shows the heat did not peter out completely. At the end of Test 1 the reactor was still producing 0.2 W. At the end of Test 2 it was producing 0.4 W,

This is not exactly a “replication” at least in qualitative terms - in that the gain relative to the input power is tiny. Based on Mizuno’s claimed results, many observers were looking a replication characterized by long periods of ~300 watt excess as opposed to short periods at very low COP
