hang on, I see what you mean. Firstly some of the input electric power might not be used to make heat. It might be used to make an electric or magnetic field which enables the exothermic reaction. Secondly perhaps some the resistive heat initiates an endothermic-exothermic nuclear cycle, where the applied heat is changed into matter and then the matter releases much more energy. Harry
