::...converting lead into gold at a cost of $5/oz....::

What?! Alchemy?! I dont think so.
The Ecat "cold fusion" system is claimed to work by transmuting nickel (element 29 in the periodic table) into copper (element 28), giving up energy (and a proton) in the process.
It shouldn't be more than three times as difficult to transmute lead (element 82) into gold (element 79). ;-)
Isn't that the system kevmo was so hot for? Got himself banned?
:) Chrysopoeia!
