A pretty counter-intuitive phenomenon. So were super-conductivity and lasing. I believe both emission and absorption of radiation can be strongly enhanced in a volume of entangled (coherent) particles - even when it's spatial extent is greater than the radiation wave-length. See: http://arxiv.org

I think DKG will have a Hyperion for a demo very soon. Take a few barrels of water, a watch, thermometer and run it with power going through a 3A fuse. Heat a barrel of water in an hour, or a whole pool in a couple of days. If DKG does it right, they'll have a number of scientists and reporters on
