Rossi's has set the disclosure bar so low he would win a limbo contest. Rossi has disclosed practically nothing. The quality of his tests ranged from bad to ridiculous. I believe Rossi because other people independently tested his devices and confirmed the claims. Specifically, the people at Ampenergo, U. Bologna, and ELFORSK. Several other people tested his devices and found they did not work. If it were not for those independent tests, I would not believe one word of Rossi's claims. Defkalion has not published any results. Not one test. Not one graph. So we have no basis to judge them.

I think I said that there is a time to give info until then being silent is an option if you can reach the goal by yourself. Most people need help (mostly financial but even technical) and it is therefore required to communicate and inform. The communication needs to be following rules set up by the culture / society.

Re: [Vo]:Kudos to Jed
Daniel - I basically believe in the positive side of man kind. Any false information will do no good. Just the opposite. I am aware that there is evil people but they have no room to play if information is forthcoming in a complete and accurate form. Axil - Yes there is military stands all the time. Almost all the wars has been fought because of getting control of natural resources. I do not see LENR being so easy a target. It has no borders. Other issues: 1. Russia was my neighbor for 45 years and has been considered an enemy for centuries in Scandinavia. They have cycles all built on isolationism. Historically US is also is an isolated nation. I see no merit in trying to proof who has the biggest one. However, I am sure some military or politician has that ambition but I think the US population is tired of US intervention abroad to no gain. 2. Russia wants to sell gas to all of Eurasia - of course. Why do we worry about that. It is hardly a good set up to try to compete with shipped gas versus pipelined. 3. We have no idea when a LENR solution is going to be available. I think 10 to 15 years is a fair estimate, if the speed of development will increase as we have a viable (Rossi) process. Many things will happen in the political world. How will China's new power structure pan out? and many other things not related to LENR.. 4. I was not aware of the super weapon but I assume it will be available to more nations than the US and then we can start negotiate disarmament and limitations of number of weapons again. Probably going to be harder this time.

Re: [Vo]:Kudos to Jed
Well, I am not exactly pro US government (quite the opposite). US is trying to protect its Empire while it decays slowly economically into oblivion. The only option is expanding its Empire, with a divide and conquer in European ex colonies, except for ex-colonies between Pakistan and Macau. Russia (elite) is almost passively trying to protect against NATO expansion (they sell gas to them, you won't kill your costumer). What will happen? Well, I don't think they are in a situation similar to 1917, when the government was completely demoralized and workers organized with a sizable part of the army in mutiny, and took a couple of decades to stop the internal strives. I think the situation you described is more similar to Germany in 1932, with a popular leader, a poverty stricken population and a brilliant heavy industry engineering. They began giving arms to a crony government in Spain right after this. But this time, Russia has nukes. If I had to guess, they'd rather go south, annexing ex-republics, plus Iraq and Syria, while pulling Iran as a Satellite.

Imagine where CF would be if it had enjoyed the same level of investment and RD as the failed hot fusion projects, which have produced nothing (well maybe about 1 triumphant second of COP 1.0) for decades, and continues to get a free pass based on an endless parade of false promises. I much rather deal with disappointments in the CF field, knowing at least that COP well greater than 1 is achievable, and would be consistent if the patent office wasn't a political monstrosity and CF actually got some real money invested into it to figure out the mechanism. All things considered I'd say the CF field has been a great success these last 25 years.

The Gamberale report has a good dosis of ignorance in it (not fully degassed test with Argon give excess heat due to residual hydrogen) and also too vivid fantasy- see the results of the tests of 22 and 23 July step by step plus the Protocol published by DGT 2 days before he test. See also what say the manufacturers of oval gear flowmeter about this huge increase of flow via reverse plus direct flow. DGT will answer.

Re: [Vo]:Kudos to Jed
Who is Gamberale, and why should his words be trusted? There seems to be a way of entering into the Ni/H reactor vender marketplace that has developed and that Gamberale has decided to take advantage of. It all starts with Rossi and Piantelli. Rossi got his start in the NI/H reactor development game when Rossi hired Piantelli’s research partner to show Rossi the ropes that Piantilli had developed in the new Ni/H technology. Rossi took that head start that Piantelli had so painfully crafted since 1989 and added his own new ideas to move the technology forward. Next, DGT understood that NI/H reactor technology was real from the work that Rossi had done in the partnership with DGT to that point and then when Rossi decided to pull out of that deal, DGT decided that they had seen enough to go it alone. It was worth the time and money to go it their own way to develop a better product than Rossi had up to that time. Now it is Gamberale’s turn feeding at the trough. “but he also told me that he personally still believes that LENR is an important scientific and technological area and that he is getting involved in two other projects in this domain.” Where did Gamberale get this feeling that LENR is an important technological area that he needs to devote his career to? Surely Gamberale has not gotten any info from Rossi. Rossi will not permit anyone to do to him what he did to Piantelli. He can thank DGT for all the knowledge and on the job training he got working with DGT for his acceptance into the LENR developer’s fray. And who are these venders he will be working with? And what can Gamberale bring to their table that he has not gotten from his working life with DGT? Maybe Gamberale was successful at looking under DGT’s dress for a leg up into the LENR marketplace; after all, it has been done by a few others before Gamberale got into this business. If I were these two new victims, I would not let my reactor unattended and alone with this guy. After all, If he takes what he needs from a past partner and bad mouths them, he is likely to do it to his new partners when the time is ripe for them On Tue, May 13, 2014 at 11:57 AM, Foks0904 . foks0...@gmail.com wrote: I agree Alain. No one needs to pity Dr. Kim, I'm sure he (and others) have measured something of relevance, just nothing commercially viable. In regards to another point being stated explicitly or eluded to by others on vortex since this story dropped, I think it is rather premature to call fraud on DGT. That is a rather reactionary stance to take despite the shadow of a doubt this new report casts on DGT. As you've just said, I have a hard time believing all the data accumulated and/or publicized has been fraudulent, but rather over-sold, which is different. If we all just begin to villainize DGT this prematurely in a reactionary fashion, how are we any better than fundamentalist skeptics? We have to be careful. I'm not saying we need to be apologists for DGT by any stretch, but let's not get indignant either.

You shouldn’t. Kim and others may not have been completely duped, and we must assume that although DGT could not show the type of gain which would allow massive funding, they still very likely have found an energy anomaly in the range of COP between 1 and 2. Everything Kim says could apply to a lower gain device, which is still beyond the Laws of Physics. This range of overunity gain has been seen for 25 years, going back to Thermacore, and even at NASA (see the Niedra report) and MIT (by Haldeman, never acknowledged by the University). Yet with the advent of Rossi, it is no longer of interest to many funders. The reality of the funding situation, given the large number of claimants in the LENR field is that a COP of greater than 1 but less than 2 is not going to generate A million dollar check, which was part of the flawed DGT business plan. In fact, they want $50 million per license LOL. The open issue wrt DGT, and it is a huge technical issue which needs to be addressed, hopefully by Dr. Kim - is the large magnetic field, reported by DGT. Jones

However, it does prove that Defkalion is either broke or they are deadbeats who do not pay their bills. They owe far larger sums of money to other people. One way or another, the truth will be known before the end of this year. The truth is irrefutable now! They cannot measure the difference between 0 and 1 L/min. If there is some other truth -- such as independent confirmation of a successful test -- let them publish it. For now, all we know about them is that their calorimetry is wrong. No one here has any other information about Defkalion. You don't; Peter does not; Prof. Kim does not. That is ALL WE KNOW. If I am wrong about that, you should tell us what you know. Where is a published paper from Defkalion describing an experiment? As things are turning out, DGT made a big mistake to try and show capability at ICCF-18 to gain support from a prejudiced and irrevocably non-supportive audience such as these LENR experts. They made a big mistake in calorimetry. They could easily gain support from LENR experts if they would do the experiment correctly and publish their results. Experts do not support people who make idiotic mistakes and refuse to publish anything. Any expert who does that will destroy his own reputation as an expert. They invited several LENR experts, NI and NASA experts to look at the experiment. The experts all said, that is not working. They told Defkalion why it is not working. Defkalion did nothing to improve the experiment. Heck, I told them specifically to confirm the flow rate with stop watch and cylinder, and so did several other people. I told them that a dozen times. They ignored me. They ignored everyone else. As far as I know, they ignored all expert advice. Such gestures are not useful in a audience that is so jealous. prejudiced and backbiting. You can't be serious! Do you really think it is jealousy and backbiting to point out that when people measure a flow rate of 1 L/min when the flow is actually zero, those people have made a gigantic mistake?!? What are we supposed to do? Praise them? Agree with them that it is actually 1 L, and there was actually 16 kW? Do you think loyalty and friendliness trump facts? That's crazy. This is science, not a 3rd grade talent show. They do not get a gold star for trying. - Jed

Re: [Vo]:Kudos to Jed
Of course it is kudos to Jed. Here some facts as I understand them: 1. I do not think Jed became a spokes person FOR DGT as they did not pay him as agreed. Seldom can you win support by mistreating people. I think that without knowing Jed (except from this sight) I can determine that he would not first publish a minor (money wise) dispute with DGT and then make up a reason their result is not true. He would take an unnecessary risk in doing so. Why not rather claim there result is false and discredit them if he could. (He will not get any money anyhow). No, I think there is no reason we have to make this in to a personal vendetta. 2. Is there different standards? No, of course not. I think, if they do not swiftly defend an accusation saying there measurements are faulty, then they have no defense Their results are faulty and their claims are non-existing. 3. Thus my conclusion is; 'DGT does not play in the LENR development'. Their result and methods does not warrant any comments. 4. Am I going to be wrong in December when they produce this rumored COP of 100? Not at all. Either they think they are fine being the only one on the planet who knows something, which nobody knows but they do not want to tell. Or they have found the way from having nothing today to something viable in December. In the first scenario I think we can agree that they have mislead everyone without comments (but with purpose) and thereby losing credibility. In the second case they are among other unknown, who have no comments. My main point is, why kill the messenger? BTW I think Rossi and the new investors are making a mistake not revealing their plans. I do understand strategic reasons for not giving away details. However, as we talk about a revolutionary product easy and cheap to produce, why not tell the outlines for the future. I begin to wonder if there is engineering problems, which prevents them from revealing their marketing plans. This is how conspiracy rumors are born so just await them rather than a frank statement saying;' This is where we are and here is a problem we are working on. Then we will . . . . .' Why so much secrecy? Why not frankly say how things are (not revealing technical details)? This mystification pared with very sophisticated discussions about nuclear physics and QM makes any investor leery to take action.

Anyway reading Mats book we see Rossi was not less stubborn about some of his failures... hopefully Elforsk was more stoneheaded than him and asked for a good test. having the CTO admit the calorimetry is wrong, and the company refuse to talk about it is really a governance problem. It happens often. Now about MFMP proposal, I wait to touch it like St Thomas.

RE: [Vo]:Kudos to Jed
From: Blaze Spinnaker I feel very bad for Dr. Kim, however. You shouldn’t. Kim and others may not have been completely duped, and we must assume that although DGT could not show the type of gain which would allow massive funding, they still very likely have found an energy anomaly in the range of COP between 1 and 2. Everything Kim says could apply to a lower gain device, which is still beyond the Laws of Physics. This range of overunity gain has been seen for 25 years, going back to Thermacore, and even at NASA (see the Niedra report) and MIT (by Haldeman, never acknowledged by the University). Yet with the advent of Rossi, it is no longer of interest to many funders. The reality of the funding situation, given the large number of claimants in the LENR field is that a COP of greater than 1 but less than 2 is not going to generate A million dollar check, which was part of the flawed DGT business plan. In fact, they want $50 million per license LOL. The open issue wrt DGT, and it is a huge technical issue which needs to be addressed, hopefully by Dr. Kim - is the large magnetic field, reported by DGT. Jones

Blaze Spinnaker blazespinna...@gmail.com wrote: Hats off to Jed. I have to admit, in someways the Defkalion news is heartening in that it shows you are credible in your ability to accurate predict who is real and who isn't. You've been warning us al about Defkalion for quite awhile. I cannot take credit for this. I have no special insight. Soon after the demonstration, I heard from various people that the flow rate may not have been measured correctly. Questions were being raised about it, by experts from NI and by others. John Hadjichristos himself acknowledged this. I think he said the flow rate was inaccurate. He did not say they measured a flow rate of zero as as 1 L/min. That is way beyond inaccurate. As I recall, I heard the flow rate was too low for the rated capacity of the flow meter. That is a common problem. As you see in the Gambarale report, the rate was low, but the problem was a backflow. I also heard they did not confirm the flow rate by another method, such as collecting liquid water or sparging steam. That's a red flag. I reported some of this here from time to time. I was not keeping it secret. But I did not know the details, and I did not have a definitive report such as Gambarale's. Anyone who would do this test without independently checking the flow rate is either deliberately deceptive or grossly incompetent. I am not going to speculate which applies to Defkalion. Note that the people visiting Rossi always did collect the flowing water to measure it. In one case they used a carafe as I recall. That is inaccurate but the point is to do a reality check, not to make an accurate measurement. If the flowmeter shows 1.16 L/min and you get some number between 0.9 and 1.3 you are good to go. If you collect only 0.5 L, or you collect no water at all (or with steam output you sparge the steam and the temperature of the water in your bucket does not rise) then you know the flowmeter is not working. It is that simple. If you were right about them, perhaps you are right about Rossi. Let's hope so. I sure hope so. And we have good, objective reasons to think so. The tests performed by Levi were pretty good. People say Levi is Rossi's friend. He wasn't originally. They became friends *after* Levi confirmed the results. So the friendship does not count. The unpublished tests performed by Ampernergo were also pretty good. I think ELFORSK's tests were excellent. The only weakness was in the input power measurement. Last year they told me they would address this, and I have heard they did. (That's the only thing I have heard about the present tests.) One other reason to have confidence in Rossi's tests -- crude as they are -- is that they have often failed to show any excess heat. They were not false positives. They were flat-out true negatives. Defkalion's test was a false positive. - Jed

yes that is a capacity I developed with LENR. Admit I need more data, and need suspend my judgement. I wish all people that support DGT with more confidence to be right.

Bad degasing is one possibility for the reactor not to work well... if not an measurement error, it may be a last chance trick to avoid a pathetic failed demo... What i cannot understand is not answering Luca's questions... For that point I have report of possible justifications... basically, I cannot rule-out it works a little, and why not , really... I have contacted them and they answered like their web site... working on the reactor, news this summer... Given the scandal, if they have something that work, the best idea would be to be antifragile, enjoy the buzz tempest and quickly prove it works with a real 3rd party test, taking the risk to lose IP before their reputation is ruined. 2014-05-13 17:57 GMT+02:00 Foks0904 . foks0...@gmail.com: I agree Alain.

Whether you would call what they're doing fraud or not probably depends in part upon the mindset and intention of the people, if any, who have given them money. In this context it is something of a miracle that Rossi's work has stood out as likely being genuine and have not simply blended into the background. The LENR researchers, too, on the whole, do not fit this pattern, although some of them are obviously credulous. A few of them do appear to be infomercial salesmen as well. Even when people seem credible and genuine, it is good to follow up and ask for some data to support what they're saying. Eric
