Really? what does it cost in Atlanta ? ...or is 'pretty cheap' more a reflection of your excellent financial health <g>? Neither heavy water nor D2 could be called a bargain out here. Online, D2O from http://unitednuclear.com/chem.htm goes for $70.00 per 100 grams or $600.00 liter...making the D2 gas content about ~$5000/kg plus the extraction cost, if you want to go that way. $5/gram seems to be the going rate for bottles too, at least to small volume users. A welding supplier around here charges $300 for a lecture bottle containing 50 liters. This is the lowest grade - 99%. If Rossi's cells each consume one gram of H2 a day, as he claims, and he harvests the deuterium for resale - let's see: then the 300 cells in the Greek factory will be making over 100,000 grams per year... enough to cover the overhead, and not too shabby. This would probably cause Homeland Security to take a close look, if it were in the USA. However, to retreat back to the real M.O. - I doubt seriously if the Rossi effect is the conversion of hydrogen to deuterium. (but it has not been ruled out) Jones
