It smells like hoax, it looks like hoax...

I can't help hoping for the best, with a heavy dose of skepticism. All we have to loose is some time.

Yeah; I certainly won't be buying the first unit--I'm kinda surprised they're selling a 1MW installation. Most buyers for that would be institutions which would be willing and able to sue if it's a hoax. I'd expect them to sell the 10kw versions over the internet.

Unless the big buyer is part of the scam.

Also, there is an imbalance of neutrons when transmuting nickel to stable copper, I wonder where these come from.

Unless they are using 62Ni... but its natural abundance is only 3%. And they mentionned 30% of nickel changed to copper. Are they enriching nickel?
