I was disappointed in this presentation. I think it is misguided. Godes' business strategy makes no sense. He makes absurd assertions such as: he must produce a finished product, and he has to reach a manufacturing level where fewer than 1% of the production line output fails and must be scrapped. This is like the Wright brothers claiming they cannot sell airplanes until they perfect a retractable landing gear. He says he is having trouble getting funded. Assuming the reactors work as claimed, if he would put five of them in the right hands, the skies would open up and billions of dollars would fall into his lap. This would happen even if the excess heat is only 10%. It would happen even if 99% of the reactors fail. For some types of transistors in the 1950s the failure rate was above 90%. That did not slow down the development of transistors. It just meant they were expensive for a while. (Some of them cost ~$16 where a vacuum tube for the same purpose cost $0.25, but there was a niche market for them despite this.) The present practicality of this device, and the engineering details that must be ironed out before it can be mass produced, are completely irrelevant. I do not understand the physics discussed in this podcast. I have not looked closely at the calorimetry, so I cannot judge whether the claims have merit.
