You could not be more wrong - at least if you are classifying Ni-H as "cold fusion" which it isn't.
Input is clearly being amplified by a positive feedback modality. There is zero evidence of any self-running system - albeit lots of unsubstantiated talk. The hallmark of nickel hydrogen, or cobalt hydrogen- is maintenance of system parameters above the trigger threshold, so that positive feedback can operate. This is the sine qua non. I should qualify this by saying that it is possible in the future, with clever use of thermal recirculation, and via storage of very hot fluid (molten salt above the trigger temp), or else by minimal electric input which is computer controlled by the drop in thermal output (on removal of input) we can eventually raise COP enormously, but COP will always be the major concern from the perspective of commercialization. Thus far, there is no evidence of a self-running system. Celani, at one of his demos, spoke as if he had accomplished this, but later retracted; recently he has raised COP significantly but still requires periodic electrical input. Do not confuse "self-running" with "slow-cooling". From: Jed Rothwell The term "COP" has no meaning in the context of a cold fusion experiment. Output power is not -- in any way -- contingent upon or dependent upon input. Input is not amplified or transformed in any sense. Input can easily be turned off and output continues, with a COP of infinity.
