It would have to be a factor of 30, not 4. The power meter shows 400 W, and the output is 12 kW. > > 1.

You can see that the machine is sitting on a board with rubber feet and has been moved around from one photo to the next. You know that the researchers who verified it inserted the temperature probes and tubes, insulation and blue tape all over it. Do you really, seriously think they would not notice wires going into it? This is real life, not a pulp thriller novel or James Bond. > > 2.

It is enormous! - Jed
