The efficiency of a gas electric generator is about 33%. If the Cop

the same cost wise as a straight up gas burner.
When gas is used to fire the Rossi reactor, the overall efficiency
of that reactor goes up a few times but it is not very good at all.
This is why Rossi must go to gas for the heat he needs to keep his
reactor activated.
The upcoming battle of the LENR systems in the market place is going
to be one of efficiency and in this regard, Rossi does not look very
well positioned.

Uh, Axil, this would be for heating. Gas can be very efficient for
heating. The other Rossi reactors used electricity to heat the
device, so Rossi is cutting out the middleman, so to speak, for that
part of the process. (i.e., electricity may be made from gas, with
33% efficiency, using your figure.) Make sense, unlike a lot that
comes out of Rossi.
