First, the fact that the same output could be obtained with a 5J input is completely undocumented - it is just thrown out there and without presented demonstration or experimental data - the comment is worthless.
Their calorimetry appears to be flawed. They have apparently modified the calorimeter to bring in huge current carrying conductors, and everyone knows that what carries current well also transports heat well. The heat carried by these conductors needed to be calibrated out of the reaction, but this was done in a way that did not account for the heat contained in the ejecta of the actual experiment. The result is an overestimation of the heat carried out by the conductors and subsequently an overestimation of the COP. I am not saying that his COP is less than 1. I think he may be realizing excess heat. I just don't believe his claim for high COP at all. And with low COP, you will not be able to convert to electricity with net gain. I think he has an advantage in that he has high enthalpy of his output, but the COP is low. The prospect of converting MW of light (even if the efficiency made sense) is pretty ridiculous. I built a 5.4 kW array for solar electric and it had 67 square meters of collection area. Do you really think he will be able to collect even 5 kW in a single square meter? 100kW would melt the PV cells due to inefficiency. It is about as [im]practical as his completely flawed plan to use MHD conversion. Note also the work of Santilli with similar high current experiments. His work was subsequently reproduced by Kadeisvili. Santilli showed that in high current discharge, LENR transmutation occurred at a reasonably high rate. The transmutation evidence was strong, indicating LENR was occurring in this high current discharge. Mills may actually get excess heat, but much of it may be coming from LENR. Mills does not want this to be the case, because heat produced via LENR would not be covered by his patents. So he doesn't look for the transmutation products in his result, or he doesn't publish that data. Mills may be correct about the fractional quantum states of hydrogen and they may be complicit in LENR. But he would lose a lot of his patent value if the heat were proved to actually be coming from LENR.
