I have found a way to calculate the area, volume, and number of spheres required to have any specified mass once a radius is chosen. I made a spreadsheet chart that suggested that the HUG MFMP would see 17.4 watts of excess power if they ground their wire into 10 micrometer diameter spheres and found some way to process them for the same level of activity that has been reported. The most recent claim for Celani is that his experiment has been replicated by another company and measured to produce excess power of 1.16 watts.
When I applied the same process assuming 100 grams of 10 micrometer spheres, I calculate output power of around 30 kilowatts. It is interesting that this figure is in the ballpark of what Rossi claims. If only we could process the tiny spheres the same way that Celani handles his wire, we would have interesting possibilities.

I have no idea how you would compute that! Perhaps some method similar to dropping a little oil on water to estimate Avogodro's constant. For the purpose of comparison, you might be able to use some kind of boundary for flux, rather than work with the actual surface area of the active material. For example, for a sphere of radius 10 cm around the device, such-and-such average power has been measured to evolve during XP. Then the shrink the sphere down so that it just contains the active region, and use the surface area of the sphere for the calculation. Change the shape to be a rectangular prism if that would provide a better fit. Eric
