There is copious data to indicate that KOH electrolysis can exceed "unity" ...
by a small amount, but

Hi,
If I understand this correctly, the reaction of K40 + e- => Ar40 should yield
about 2.5 MeV. However I suspect that most
of the energy would be carried away, never to be seen again, by the neutrino.
>An accelerated
An accelerated weak-force interaction - as odd as this possibility may sound -
could be of interest to those trying to find and optimize what is in fact
"real" nuclear energy - but which may have been classified as LENR or Millsean
- formerly.
This is rather ironic but the radioactive isotope
