Answer Book question
The machine video answers "can this be made." It does not answer "will anyone buy it, at what price, from me." Before paying an advance, get the input cost and supply, the real yield, the power and labour, the packaging and licence cost, and. above everything. a named buyer and price. If the seller cannot help with the last one, that is your answer.

Machine sellers sell machines. Their revenue claims are marketing. Viability is demand minus realistic cost.
