How about milliwatts and microwatts. Isn't
Eveready/Duracell/Rayovac/Panasonic
a billion-dollar industry?
J. Rothwell: "Yeah. In the first post I listed 100 watts thermal or 10
watts thermoelectric as the minimum practical level, but I guess even a
fraction of a watt thermoelectric would be useful. And one-watt thermal
would make a dandy pocket warmer / gonad eraser. (Imagine the late night
TV ads for that!)
It is hard to imagine what use anyone might have for 100 or 200 mW of
intermittent thermal power. That's how much most present-day CF devices
produce. Not practical.

Although "It is hard to imagine what use anyone might have for 100 or
200 mW of intermittent thermal power" is true
in the short run, over a longer amount of time, many 10s of kilojoules
excess energy (and more) can be wrought.
Furthermore, some present day cold fusion devices can produce more
excess power (several watts),
even though in the hands of Dr. Storms and Jed Rothwell and their company,
using their techniques,
more paucity of excess power generation is observed, as they point out.
As a few examples, I looked through some of our recent results since
ICCF-10 [using the Phusor design in various
setups and with the 10K-Driver (seen in Popular Mechanics last year)], and
these are some of the results.

Hope that helps.
