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.
