Let me add also that the COP of a cold fusion experiment has no meaning and it is of no importance whatever. Asking for it -- or stressing it -- proves only that you do not understand the experiment.
If the input power is so high it interferes with the measurements you have a problem. Otherwise the input power is irrelevant. It should be ignored. It is not even a COP in the technical sense. It does not directly trigger output. It does not correlate with output. Everyone in this field knows simple ways to reduce input power and "improve" the "COP." Gibbs and others dwell on unimportant side-issues like the supposed COP while they ignore the s/n ratio and other actual scientific content. They look at preliminary reports uploaded by Defkalion while they ignore official reports published after years of intense research by distinguished experts at China Lake, and papers published in mainstream journals. - Jed
