Vorts,
I have deliberately not provided any explanation, analysis or
interpretation.
Instead, I'd like to hear your thoughts first.
In particular, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the graph drawn by
McKubre as compared to the graph I drew.
I'd also like to hear your thoughts and analyses on the green and
blue lines.

I haven't taken the time to look into this in detail, but my first
impression is that, unless there is a typo, it makes no sense at all
to attempt to draw the 23.82 MeV line through Fig. 1, or to draw any
conclusions from the graph as to energy per helium atom produced.
Perhaps I'm misreading the x axis labeling "Excess Power/Current
(mW / A)", or the intended meaning of the x axis values. To be
sensible the x axis should simply be excess energy, i.e. the integral
of mW over time. It looks like voltage was roughly uniform, so the
(input) mW/A should roughly be a constant, given power P = I * (V -
v0). So, basically, the x axis is a constant times excess power. It
should be a constant times excess energy to make any sense, or to
plot the green line on it.
Alternatively, at a constant power the helium could be measured over
equally spaced intervals, and then the green line should be
horizontal, i.e. fixed amount of helium produced per interval of
time corresponding to the mean excess power for the interval.
Maybe if someone took the time to look deeper into this they could
make some sense of it.
