I’d pay the dough...if...the inventor can prove that the thing actually works and continues to work.

Sounds like that Boy Scout who eventually killed himself making a reactor in his mom’s storage shed.

This guy you mean the “...Radioactive Boy Scout” or the “Nuclear Boy Scout”,... “

Wasn’t really a reactor he built a neutron source.
Lived to be almost 40, died of alcohol & cocaine abuse.

“reassures potential buyers that the device is, currently, safe to use”
Well, sure, since this is a scam and the device is not really a nuclear reactor, of course it is safe.

Neighborhood nuclear superiority:
Very nice!
I had heard that if you give a monkey a typewriter and time...
With more time better output?
Much more useful than the old Liquid Paper stuff.

I understand posting without reading is tradition here but you REALLY should read the description of the machine before laying out your money!
To: Boogieman
Not a scam. Just click-bait.
To: Bloody Sam Roberts
...and continues to work.... If it works, that will be the least of your worries............

The transformer should not be left on at max for longer than 20 minutes." That's long enough to travel to 1955?................

Yeah, one kid manages to invent what teams of the best scientific minds in the field of nuclear physics have struggled to create for decades.
To: DUMBGRUNT
Well, if it actually works he’s selling it much too cheap.

The Boy Scout survived without ill effect but prompted an emergency evacuation of his home and cleanup of the backyard shed as a nuclear site. Fortunately, the US government recognized his talent and lack of criminal intent and he eventually became a nuclear reactor operator for the US Navy.
