Significant power production from a LENR reactor might simply come down to the number of nuclear reactions that happen per unit of time.
If Defkalion can generate 10^^23 reactions per second, even if each of these separate reactions only produce a relatively small power contributions, their total can add to a large number. It’s simple arithmetic. A prolific reaction rate can make up for a poor fusion power production profile. This is what Peter means when he says that LENR+ works and LENR doen’t. It all boils down to the reaction production rate. The LENR production rate is small whereas the LENR+ power production rate is high.
