As Albert said, the ecats were heated for 2 hours beforehand, and the power was not given, but at 250 kW input for 2 hours, less an average of (at most) 35 kW output during that time, that gives 215 kW x 2 hours x 3600 J/Wh = 1.5 GJ So a total output energy less than the total input energy is consistent with the data provided. And that leaves aside the possibility of energy production by chemical means. What is abundantly clear is that the demonstration, even if you accept the data presented, is a long way from being an unequivocal demonstration of heat in excess of what could be stored or produced chemically.
