Stop me if I am wrong but it seems to me he is trying to sell about 20 bucks worth of parts in a plastic box for 490 bucks profit ?

Upon further inspection of his website, he appears to be some sort of illiterate idiot. I doubt he's ever sold one.

You'd be surprised how much just the box costs- certainly higher than $20.
Looks like a nice 'working' model- I'll give the guy some creative credit.
(I'm not buying one, though!)

Can't wait til mine gets here..... No wait, yes I can.

It does look good in the pictures BUT $510 dollars. The following must hold true for anyone that buys this.

$ > brains = Purchase stupid [censored]

It's pointless without a reliable engery source anyway, so you would have to get one of these too:

It turns out that if you don't care about break-even, homemade deuterium fusion reactors are not at all out of the question.

I bet it's hard to come by the fuel, though. It's not like you can run down to the gas station and pump some heavy water.

Yes but I did mine as a joke and it was the most fun I had for the 80 cents it cost me to post the auction over 500 people viewed that auction and well over 100 mesages were sent to me about it.

Yes, but... but... nobody bid on it.

Maybe you should relist it with a lower starting bid.
