This is absolutely pathetic. We have been promised test data over and over again for over a year, and Defkalion has yet again provide something totally different. In my opinion, this is an insult to all those who have been following them. If they wanted to work in the "dark" they had every opportunity to do so, and share nothing with the public. However, they promised on multiple occasions not only to provide test data, but also data from the certification process, the identities of the testers, protocols for the experiments, and even live webcam footage. Yet again, they have failed to provide any of the MEANINGFUL material they promised to provide.
If they were polite, they would apologize for breaking their word, just share nothing at all from this point on, and go black. I'd rather them do that than tease and taunt us with a few images with almost no explanation, after promising us COMPLETE AND FULLY DETAILED TEST DATA WITH LIVE VIDEO! They need to choose one way or the other, as far as I am concerned. Anything else is simply rude. (Yes, I realize a private company does not "owe" the public anything, but in this case we were promised many things on multiple occasions. If they are not going to keep their word they need to be blunt and tell us, and go black.) ________________________________ From: Abd ul-Rahman Lomax <a...@lomaxdesign.com> To: vortex-l@eskimo.com; vortex-l@eskimo.com Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2012 9:59 PM Subject: Re: [Vo]:"Progress Photographs" pdf from Defkalion Green Technologies At 07:15 PM 5/10/2012, Alan J Fletcher wrote: > At 04:42 PM 5/10/2012, ecat builder wrote: >> Wow.

I'd think that gas would not be flowing through an operating device, and consumption of hydrogen (requiring flow in) would be very low. It could be a lot more complicated than electrically heating the thing.
