The fact that the farm equipment is bricked does not eliminate it's value. Almost all of the parts can and will be used as replacements. Given that Deere will or already has stopped replacement parts to Russia these replacement parts can only go up in value. The value of theses parts is much higher than a fully functional combine or tractor. Without sanctions this value would be much less.
The current discusion touches on the intellectual property aspects of the E-cat. There is reason to believe no patent will be granted and even if it was it wouldn't prevent other partys form creating a similar device.There are lapsed patents that may very well cover whats going on. And the US essentialy will not grant LENR patents. It is possible that almost from the begining there will be very limited IP protection and many competing products so the problem is not that there is a locked down secret. Another way besides a patent to protect an invention is to use a trade secret. That what appears to be going on.
