I don't see how a gram or two of nano-powder can produce 10
kilowatts of heat output. Without running any numbers, the power
density is too high. Other atoms besides those in the powder must
also be involved in the production of power. How does Ed's theory
handle this?
We have no way of knowing how much active material is in the e-Cat.
Most of the initial powder would sinter to the wall and not be
removed. Consequently, your original assumption of 1 or 2 grams is
wrong.

Ed's theory implies that the energy is being released in a series
form where one photon after the next is radiated from the NAE and
into the material. The other general type of operation suggests
that an emission from a more or less entangled group of active
components radiate the energy as a group in parallel.
There is a third suggestion being floated -- there's a bursty
release of a large amount of energy in small little packets, here
and there in the substrate, like popcorn popping. The release of
any nuclear reaction in this type of operation would not be
incremental at the microscopic level -- it would be all at once
(e.g., 24 MeV), and possibly collimated, but the release would be as
kinetic energy and, as a side effect, bremsstrahlung, rather than
gammas. At a macroscopic level, it would be more homogenous.
