Sounds like not knowing why it works could be holding us back. It's
hard to optimize a system you don't understand.
So the breakthrough here, if I'm reading it correctly, is that while
they are only getting a modest 1.2x - 1.4x gain in energy they can build
the devices repeatably.
They should stop calling it 'nuclear'. Mysterious Maybe Exothermic
Heater. MMEH. Or maybe just "The Rossi Device".

Some of the people making these devices have gotten 5X the energy they
put in. It is fickle, like cold fusion, which also worked but not at
any level that was usable.
Many of the low tech home experiments have two ceramic tubes, one with
the nickel hydrogen power and the other with some kind inert stuff.
Both tubes are wrapped with the same amount of nichrome wire and both
connected to the same input voltage. Then they run them for days and
use an infra red thermometer. The one with the nickel powder is
hotter. Some of them put a thermocouple on both tubes to measure how
much hotter one is.
The more sophisticated experimenters actually measure the heat energy
is produced, but that is harder to do. Some just estimate the heat
energy by emissivity.

I guess you mean the category of, "It works, but we don't know why"?
I think on LENR, the physicists are saying, "Yes you have surplus heat,
but for God's sake stop calling in 'nuclear'!"
I know the Rossi LENR device needed electrical input to run a resistive
heater. I think I'm seeing that the surplus heat is significant, but
does anyone say how big the surplus is?

Lotsa guys won’t believe this. But it is in the same category as high
temp super conductors & EM wave drive.

At least there may be validation for LENR. Next question is cost and
realistic output for that cost.

POWER DEVICES
Controllable-on-Demand, Reproducible, Transportable, Scalable LENR
Validated in Third-Party Tests of Brillouin Energy IPB HHT™ LENR
Reactor
BERKELEY, CA, January 5, 2017 – Researchers at SRI International are
reporting that they have successfully replicated “over unity” amounts
of thermal energy (heat) for Brillouin Energy Corporation’s most
advanced Isoperibolic (“IPB”) Hydrogen Hot Tube™ (HHT™) reactor test
systems based on controlled low energy nuclear reactions (“LENR”).
Researchers at SRI conducted a series of third-party tests of
Brillouin Energy’s IPB HHT™ LENR reactor test systems from March to
December 2016. Dr. Francis Tanzella, principal investigator and
Manager of the Low Energy Nuclear Reactions Program, was assigned to
SRI’s testing of Brillouin Energy’s LENR systems and conducted all of
the third-party validation work.
In its Interim Progress Report, SRI summarizes its extensive testing
of five identical Brillouin Energy metallic reactor cores, which
produced the same over-unity controlled heat outputs, turning the
reaction heat on and off repeatedly. "Brillouin Energy appears to
have achieved its most groundbreaking test results to-date," the
Report states.
Data from the SRI International test runs show LENR heat outputs up
to several watts were repeatedly produced from positive coefficients
of performance (COPs) in the range of 1.2X to 1.45X. The Report
continues that LENR heat was independently validated with positive
COPs is significant:
“The LENR coefficients of performance (COPs) may be considered low
and small scale however, it would be a mistake to discount them, in
light of the accuracy of their calorimetry, the consistent
repeatability of their production, their controllability, and the
reproducibility and refinement of their manufacturing techniques,
specifications, and components, all leading to the same repeated
results. Moreover, the transportability of the system is another
remarkable achievement”.
“By using standard industrial manufacturing processes for our reactor
test systems, we have identified an engineering pathway for
manufacturing Brillouin Energy’s IPB HHT™ reactor prototypes,” said
Robert Godes, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of Brillouin
Energy Corp.
In 2017, Brillouin Energy is continuing its work with SRI
International in the testing process to help it to engineer and
develop its IPB HHT™ reactor test systems, with the goal of evolving
them towards LENR prototype equipment systems, which potentially may
generate commercial scale LENR Heat on demand for industrially useful
applications.
We are on the cusp of a new era of cheap, abundant and reliable power
from LENR technologies, at a time when the United States and many
other countries are re-defining their commitments to mitigate the
impacts from climate change, said Robert W. George, Chief Executive
Officer, Brillouin Energy.
Brillouin Energy’s LENR technology includes a proprietary method of
electrical stimulation of nickel-metal conductors using its Q-Pulse™
control system. The process stimulates the system to produce LENR
reactions, which generate excess heat and helium. The excess heat
produced is a product of hydrogen and a nickel-metal catalyst. The
Q-Pulse™ control system stimulation is the key to maintaining the
reaction. Other than the heat output, there are no (zero) toxic or
CO2 emissions of any kind.
The SRI Interim Progress Report summarizes all of the data and
conclusions from SRI International’s nine months of testing of
Brillouin Energy’s IPB HHT LENR reactor systems. To view the Report,
