The claim of testing isotopes to determine that only Ni61 is inactive - is IMO clearly fiction. There are others but this is the most blatant. This is a company which has been on the verge of financial collapse until recently and these isotopes cost at least $20,000 per [gram], and several ounces of each [24 grams minimum] would be needed to determine activity. Ah, I see your point. Other details stand out as a bit fishy, even to supporters of LENR but in the demo - the half-liter+ per minute of water turning into steam is the most troubling. And it is not so much from the lack of visual evidence of steam, as from the lack of sound. This came to mind just now as my teapot was shrieking-out a deafening reminder of what ~500 watts sounds like. Of course the 20+ kilowatts implied by that much water flow (in the DGT demo) would be fabulous on first blush, but .. think about the sound (or lack thereof). When you are driving a moderate speed in an average car - about 20 kilowatts of thermal energy goes out the exhaust pipe - which is typically 2-2.5 inches diameter in the USA. The DGT reactor supposedly was pushing over 20 kilowatts of hot gas though a tube which was 10 times narrower (less diameter) or 100 time less area for the escape of hot gases. The DGT reactor exhaust should have been SCREAMING with an unbearably loud hiss like the equivalent of about forty teapots on full boil. Is this criticism "sound" or not?
