If so, then in order to produce an over-unity device, which is

T(high)/T(low) = 1 + 1/Excess_heat
While this applies to the Potapov vortex thing discussed earlier, and
which is not at all related, I suspect it does not apply to Russ
George's work. Since Les Case is involved it is reasonable they are
looking at commercializing the D2 + catalyst stuff, which has no power
input at all. In fact, the web site talks about solid state, which
pretty much confirms that some form of the D2 catalysis stuff will be
used.
Cool! That seems like the right direction to go. I confess I didn't
see that on the web site -- it looked like the "solid state" talk all
just had to do with any kind of fusion taking place within a metal
lattice, which would include all CF experiments I'm familiar with.
Certainly it includes wet-cell electrolysis-based CF as well as
gas-loaded finely-divided Pd experiments.
In any case, I was, of course, reacting to Steve Krivit's post about the
glow discharge device with my little thermo thing rather than commenting
on Russ George's work in general.
