Why don't you do the calculation yourself? Assume a shrinkage energy of a few hundred eV / atom.

Are you >convinced that there is a form of electric field driven multiplication of ions >occurring in the DGT device instead of individual reactions? I'm never convinced of anything, and I think you may have misunderstood what I was getting at. The multiplication reaction is based on individual reactions, not electric field driven multiplication of ions. >If individual behavior is taking place, then Rossi might be borrowing a >similar process to obtain his power.
