Fusion of 2 Si-28 to Fe 56 produces about 18 Mev excess mass energy, or about 1 muon mass for for 18 fusion transitions. Muons that were to carry away mass may not be noticed.

It could be we don't know enough about nuclear matter to know how to build or take apart nuclei with much less energy. With a sledge hammer and a great deal of force a structure can be assembled or broken down without knowing much about the nature of the structural connections. However, if one knows the structural connections are screws rather than nails much less energy is required.

Four tone of transmutation would imply a huge number of muons produced on a daily basis. If you go this route, you will have to address Narayanaswamy's own admission that [1]: A simple calculation shows (see Appendix A) that corresponding to 4.27 tons of metal transmutation [comprising the production of both silicon and iron], the power generated should have been the equivalent of the total thermal power generated by a couple of thousand 1 GWe nuclear power stations in one 24 hr day! This may truly be termed as an astronomical number! Thus if indeed the Silcal transmutation claims are confirmed it would clearly point to the operation of new Science which is even more bizarre than claimed by most other LENR experiments! 2000 GWe * 24 hours = 1.7e17 J. By comparison, the bomb that fell on Nagasaki in 1945 had about (84 TJ = 8.4e13 J) [2]. That means that if Narayanaswamy's calculation in Appendix A is correct, the energy output in a 24-hour period would have been equivalent to (1.7e17 J / 8.4e13 J = 2023 "Fat Man" bombs), or 1.4 nuclear bombs per minute. All in a smelting facility in Coimbatore, India, that was very successful and made a decent profit. This possibility takes us into the hoary but cute Vortex violation-of-COE discussions.
