I certainly guess that the knowledable folks in this field know how to extract. Whether it is X-Ray film silver recovery or the Ore Pile.
I hear that Wayne Palmer does this on a extra thing basis/ parttime for the silver.

Sorry Richard, it was an oversight on my part..

>>Does the process scale linearly?<<

Yes, in relation to energy input. To explain, in our system you put in <x> amount of energy to receive <y> amount of gold. If you couple ten times the amount of energy you will produce ten times the amount of precious metal.

>>How come you're not producing tons Au/hour?<<

We are heading that direction at this time. But it takes time and money. At this time we are producing a few ounces of gold per day -- BUT, this is a recent occurrence in my life, for it took eight years to get here.

At this time the most important thing is to keep making ounces per day. This allows for the gathering of important data, provides a modest cash flow and allows other researchers to easily study and replicate this phenomenon.

One must realize that this is probably the first commercial transmutation in existence today.

>>Are there difficult production or environmental issues (high temperatures, hazardous waste production, etc)?<<

Richard, to my (our)knowledge at this time the answer is no. However, these are some of the facts that we want to sort out during the next few days or possibly weeks.

In regards to Wayne's silver, this is silver that he recovers from x-ray film, not from their ore pile.

Hope this answers your questions -- sorry for the delay, it was an oversight on my part.
