Scale check
Energy Density Comparator
Convert a claimed output and active mass into Wh/kg and MJ/kg, then compare it with batteries, TNT, gasoline, and nuclear-scale reference points.
Key facts
Key facts
Inputs
Energy + mass
Enter a claimed output energy and the active mass associated with the claim.
Compare
Chemical vs nuclear
The tool reports multiples of lithium-ion batteries, TNT, gasoline, and D-D fusion scale.
Caution
Plausibility
A nuclear-scale energy density claim raises the evidentiary burden; it is not self-validating.

Measurement standard
Numbers are a filter, not a verdict
These tools are designed for first-pass evaluation. A striking COP, timeline entry, or energy-density result should lead to better questions: Were blanks run? Were all energy paths measured? Was the protocol repeated independently? Does a nuclear signature scale with the claimed heat?
For the consensus baseline, read the scientific verdict. For the measurement pitfalls behind the calculator, read the replication crisis.
FAQ
Common questions
Why compare with chemical energy density?
A claim that only reaches ordinary chemical energy density may not require a nuclear explanation. A claim far above chemical limits needs much stronger evidence.
Is high energy density proof of LENR?
No. It is a scale check. The measurement still needs complete accounting, controls, and independent replication.
What mass should be entered?
Use the active material mass if the claim is about fuel, or the full device mass if that is the only defensible boundary for the measurement.
