- A table of energy and power.
-
- 3.5 megawatt-hours -- The energy available in Droege's Pd electrode if all
- loaded D's fused into He4's.
-
- 8.9 milliwatts -- The delta power between Droege's boson source in,
- and out.
-
- 60 picowatts -- The delta power if each incident boson only triggered
- a single D+D=>He event.
-
- 4 picowatts -- The power of the incident bosons themselves.
-
-
-
- If the correlation between Droege's boson in/out mode and heat output is
- statistically significant, then there *must* be a chain reaction, even if
- it is chemical in nature. The need for a chain is even greater in a lower
- energy chemical reaction, since far more events are required to achieve
- the same delta-power.
-
- There also *must* be a moderating mechanism even if it is chemcial in nature.
- If it is nuclear, then there must be a reason that a gain of 150 million
- doesn't build to ignite the entire 3.5 megawatt-hours in a fraction of a
- second.
