Would you believe that it is possible to melt tungsten (MP 3422 deg C)
using only 10 watts? Try putting 10 watts into a 1 watt flashlight bulb.
It will burn out immediately as the tungsten filament melts. No LENR
reaction, just straight resistive heating. Power and temperature are not
directly related, the temperature also depends on a host of other
variables. A 110V plug-in arc welder can produce a plasma temperature of
well over 6,000 deg C for only 2kW of power.

The temperature difference between the melting point of stainless
steel and ceramic is 600 degrees C. To produce this temperature
difference beyond the melting point of nickel powder and stainless
steel requires a continuing LENR reaction, IMHO.
