I doubt that is true, but even if it is, it makes no difference. These are crude prototypes. With commercially manufactured devices I am sure they will be able to achieve any input:output ratio they want, such as 1:100. This is not an issue now and it never has been. No one has ever tried to optimize this ratio, because that is "just a matter of engineering." The hard part has been to control the reaction. Once you do that, you can achieve any ratio and any temperature you want, up to the limits of the materials. - Jed
