I believe you are underestimating the value of a small and efficient LENR device. I spoke with Mitchell about this on the bus at ICCF-18. I believe small is beautiful and I have a perfect application. Today 2-way public safety radios use lithium batteries that only work to about -10C, but the radio electronics are qualified to -40C. It is entirely plausible to use a NANOR as an efficient way to keep the portable lithium battery warm when the ambient temperature is below -5C. If he can make the NANORs repeatably and operate them in optimum COP with a small uC, that could well be the first LENR device to make it to market. Having a shipping product inside another product is a sure track to a device patent. This could be the finger removed from the dike.
