Is there a Dutch word for 'fuckery'?

A somewhat old-fashioned one: verlakkerij. Translates roughly as deceit, betrayal, getting led to a trap.

You'll love the etymology though: verlakken was the practice of painting silver coins with shellac to make them appear like gold.

We are working with a solar company that claims to achieved 70% efficiency. Unfortunately it is not production ready but they may partner with us to showcase their product.

It would be truly revolutionary if they can achieve it.

It would be truly revolutionary indeed to be breaking the laws of thermodynamics.

Also, as of now there's nothing on the market or theoretical that comes even close to 70%
