I forgot to mention: Levi looked in the control unit and found no battery or
fuel, just electronics. This was described in NyTeknik. So you can delete
the sections about the Control Unit such as:

"Fuel Cell using Compressed Hydrogen in the Control Unit"

Actually, in real life, the entire concept of chemistry or electricity
causing this effect is impossible. It is completely out of the question. A 1
L device would not even be big enough to hold the burners and igniters for
combustion or any other chemical reaction capable of producing 15 kW, never
mind 130 kW. There is no place to put any fuel at all, and if you did put
any fuel in there, it would explode. The internal temperature must be quite
high. Things like fuel cells are also ruled out. I doubt they have any that
are only 1 L, and if they did, it would produce a few watts, not
kilowatts. For any kind of combustion using outside air, you would need
ventilation holes much bigger than the entire 1 L space. To hold the heat
exchangers and other components, the secret compartment would have to be at
least the size of this water heater:

DIMENSIONS

This is 199,000 Btu/h = 58 kW
Dimensions are 10" * 23" * 14" = 3220 cu. in. = 53 L

You can't just generate the heat inside the secret compartment; you also
have to transfer it to the flowing water, and you have to keep the fuel tank
from exploding. So a calculation based on the volume of fuel alone is
totally unrealistic.

This is interesting to think about, but there is not the slightest chance
the effect is actually chemical.
