Generated 1E6 watts after applying 12,000 amps to the system without describing the system. Watts (power) has basic units of mass*length^2/time^3 most commonly volts * amps, where volts is force (mass*length/time^2). Amps is number of electrons passing through a unit length of conductor (wire) in so many seconds (1/T). When the length of wire has a unit dimension you can ignore the length of the conductor (one times anything is anything) and use a phrase like 12,000 amps. Like another post said, you do not need too many volts (between 83 and 84) of potential difference in the system that you pump 12,000 amps through to cause the system to yield 1E6 watts of power. If that much had to go in, and approximately the same came out then I would say someone was trying to get funding by pulling a fast one in front of a non-engineering crowd.

***It would be an interesting result, if that’s what the article said. But it did not say it, as far as I can tell, so to proceed from an assumption is an invalid argument from silence.

***Which is why I keep pointing to the upcoming demo. If LENR breaks out soon, Dr. Mills will likely be able to catch up and attract funding. At that point, he doesn’t have to be in the scientific lead, he just needs to be a player. The patent wars will be where all the action is, and he’s been in the middle of the firefight for 20 years. His inscrutible theory will be a part of the discussion. I doubt it will win out. I think of him as someone like Glenn Curtiss, who didn’t invent the airplane but he gave the real inventors such heartache that he got what he wanted out of the deal.
