It appears that you are seeing infinite COP as James suggested. You should be able to make a good impression upon the ICCF crowd particularly if you can show sufficient heating of your device without any drive. You should be prepared to open up the container after a demonstration that is well witnessed to allow interested parties to examine the materials within. They will be attempting to ensure that there is nothing strange occurring or that chemicals, batteries, and etc. are not hidden.
As you imply, 1 watt is not a lot of power and I see that you are aware that when you attempt to extract energy that the reaction might collapse under loading. This is what is expected in my system models. Can I assume that you have a nickel-hydrogen type arrangement?

He said "The current system I am working off of is at 0.25 to 1 W with no input" That's .25W/0W at "minimum".

What COP are you measuring at this time and are you able to determine the temperature of the reaction components? Any information would be greatly appreciated and some among this list might be able to offer suggestions.

This iswith about 25 grams of sample(density about 3 gm/ml - metal in C). This is in a heavy metal sphere with gaspressure generatedin situ and sealed. The temperature is near room temp when not insulated. Higherpower densities can be reached by stimulation but at the expense of COP. I am hopingthat there will be a trade off of volume/surface area, stimulation and COP, heatgeneration and power extraction. Part of theproblem is making a simple "variable heat path" so that powerextraction and workingtemperature are balanced. But I havelikely said too much- this is not the proper forum for such things. With luck I will havea poster at ICCF for specifics. (But it will likely be ignored like my hightemp metal/gaswas at DC).

I preferto try to take only a step of a factor of 10 or so with the LENR part . . . Where would that bring you in terms of power, temperature and power density? - Jed
