In his bomb calorimetry demo, he demonstrated an input of about 200+ J. Correct me if I'm wrong cause I'm working from memory here. In the bomb calorimetry, they seems to have demonstrated a COP of 4+
I think the spot welder need to be modified to maintain a fix gap between the electrodes where the fuel pellet needs to be slightly wedged in. This way, as soon as the fuel pellet detonates, that automatically stops the welder from delivering more power, since there would be a gap where no further current can flow. The open voltage of the welder would not jump the gap. If we did this, we can control how much input energy is being delivered. From there, we can verify the 5J claim.

Mills only claims that he "should" be able to detonate his wet particles with 5 joules and get the same output, but has never demonstrated this AFAIK. The claim of 100 COP would only be if he got the same output with an input of 5 joules; which, as far as I can tell, he has only speculated and not demonstrated. With the equipment Jack has, he will not be able to adjust his spot welder for a 5 joule input. He will only be able to replicate what Mills has done, which is with an input of about 200 joules.

Are we striving for superaccuracy, or are we just trying to hit it in the ballpark? To me, the most important question is to see if the input power is in the vicinity of 5J. If it is, that would be a slam dunk for Mills cause you can't deny the output power. Those Solar panels have known efficiency figures. So, output power appears to be more or less accurate, which would bring the COP to 100 or more - more or less. Jojo
