I am sorry but there is not the SLIGHTEST experimental evidence for this. I may not understand advanced physics but one thing I do have is semi-encyclopedic knowledge of experimental results. I know of many Ni-H results with very high gains, and many with no input energy at all, both electrochemical heat-after-death and gas loading by Mizuno and others. It is true that some of Mills early eletrochemical experiments had a low input to output ratio, but the non-electrochemical experiments worked too, and the concept of a "ratio" in these experiments has no meaning. See: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/GernertNnascenthyd.pdf I repeat what I have said many times, which I do not think anyone has challenged: the input power in a cold fusion experiment has no direct causal relationship to the output. The ratio is a coincidence. Input can easily by reduced. People do not reduce it because that is pointless and it would interfere in the measurements. This is *not* a COP in any sense. Not by the standards of science or engineering. There is no "production" or amplification. You should ignore the input power. - Jed
