137) Another nonsense?

In browsing the Internet I found a web site of a team promoting a cold fusion reactor. The arguments are not at all convincing. Do the authors themselves believe in what they are saying or are they fully aware that it just a commercial pitch? I suspect that a con artist directing behind this non-existing project. The URL of the web site is:

SUMMARY REACTOR PROJECTS
A specific Reactor design has been developed by a group of eminently recognized scientists during the last fifteen years. Funding for this project has been obtained from STU, a Swedish government funding institution which invests in Hi-Tech projects for development in Sweden. Additional capital investment has also been provided by private Foundations, Institutions and the Inventors.

WHY ARE THEY SO VAGUE ABOUT EMINENTLY RECOGNIZED SCIENTISTS AND ABOUT PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS?


The ultimate aim of the Reactor application is to develop a small portable 500kW power generator based on a new nuclear "cold" fusion reaction. With the prospect of depleted natural energy resources in less than 100 years this invention could replace the totality of the worlds estimated energy demand. The unit can be made small enough to replace a standard car engine or the boiler of a family house. When selling "power-by-the-hour" each unit is expected to produce magnificently high returns. Comprehensive third party computer simulations of the process has shown its feasibility.

COMPUTER SIMULATIONS ARE OF NO HELP IN SITUATIONS IN WHICH NOTHING IS KNOWN ABOUT UNDERLYING PHENOMENA. IT IS LIKE RELYING ON A THEORY THAT DOES NOT EXIST.

There are a number of further applications for this reactor described below.

COLD FUSION REACTOR INTRODUCTION

The Inventors has taken a very close and active look at the spectacular proposals to gain nuclear fusion energy from a body of the element Palladium. However, for scientists it has been known for a long time that this element has unusual properties. By direct information from advanced scientists in USA and Japan we now know that proofs exist that some unexplained reactions occur. For this reason a materials expert has already been engaged in our group who is working with the bulk treatment of the materials in question.

METHOD
Of particular interest is that of the basic concept seen to be extremely useful in treatment of materials, implanting deuterium into the matrix, and triggering energy releasing events.

NO EVIDENCE IS GIVEN THAT THEY KNOW HOW TO DO THIS.

We keep close collaboration with Japanese Scientists as we hold a patented construction which may be essential in the future development of a reactor type which is known to be of interest to the Japanese. We believe that our patents will be essential for the final development of a working unit to their stated requirements.

CLAIM
It has been claimed lately especially from Japan that it is possible to make energy producing units based on the original idea. In combination with our patents the possibility of a working prototype may be very feasible within a 5-7 years.

AHA, NO WORKING PROTOTYPE, ONLY SIMULATIONS. THE STYLE IN WHICH THIS WEB PAGE IS WRITTEN IS NOT VERY CONVINCING. I WOULD NOT INVEST A PENNY IN THAT REACTOR.
