They were running the system at about 2300 watts or power output and putting in about 900 watts. The total net energy obtained during the 32 days run was about 1.5 MWh
ABSTRACT
New results are presented from an extended experimental investigation of anomalous heat production in a special type of reactor tube operating a t high temperatures . The react or, named E – Cat, is charged with a small amount of hydrogen – loaded nickel powder plus some additives , mainly Lithium . The reaction is primarily initiated by heat from resistor coils around the reactor tube. Measurements of the radiated power from the react or were performed with high – resolution thermal ima ging cameras . The measurements of electrical power input were performed with a large bandwidth three – phase power analyzer. Data were collected during 32 days of running in March 2014. The reactor operating point was set to about 1260 º C in the first half of the run, and at about 1400 ° C in the second half . The measured energy balance between input and output heat yielded a COP factor of about 3.2 and 3.6 for the 1260 º C and 1400 º C run s, respectively . The total net energy obtained during the 32 days run was about 1.5 MWh. This amount of energy is far more than can be obtained from any known chemical sources in the small reactor volume . A sample of the fuel was carefully examined with respect to its isotopic composition before the run and after the run, using several standard methods : XPS, EDS, SIMS, ICP – MS and IC P – A E S . The isotope composition in Lithium and Nickel was found to agree with the natural composition before the run , while after the run it was fo und to have changed substantially . N uclear reactions are therefore indicated to be present in the run process, which however is hard to reconcile with the fact that no radioactivity was detected outside the reactor during the run
Unclear how unconnected the people are ? But also would they support a knowing scam

The Swedes and the others appear qualified and have much to lose if they were to be involved in a scam of some kind.
