...but there was nothing wrong with the input. The problem is with the output. Note also that the electric power used matches the input materials, which is a good indication that the input is correct. The most likely explanation is that the weight of the output increased because something extra was in it. The author made the assumption that CO had transmuted to Fe & Si, rather than making the simpler assumption that the CO was chemically bound to at least one of those elements.
