I've been reading about the Yuri Popatov's Yusmar machine, which
AFAIK, produces LENR's in an aquas solution by means of a vortex.
Heat is a big item with Russians, and electricity costs something
there too. The fact that he has lots of orders for the machines,
should tell you something.
The Yusmar machine has been tested several times, once at LANL under
the direction of Popatov, and none of the tests showed excess
energy. However, as a method to convert electric energy to heat
energy, it is very practical because it is simple and does not
require maintenance. Russian water is frequently impure so that
using a resistor for conversion results in build up of deposit that
requires removal. This is the major reason the method is popular in
Russia.

Do you recall what the thermal efficiency that LANL observed was?
