Are you suggesting that the public demonstrations done by Rossi,
Levi et al. are the only checks that have been made of these
systems? That investors have not done more extensive tests? That's
silly. Why wouldn't they? What would stop them?
Defkalion has said repeatedly that they have, and that they have
submitted machines for testing to the Greek government.
No sane person would invest in this technology without far more
extensive testing than has been revealed. There are many good
reasons why people would not want to reveal what they have done. It
is regrettable, but this is business, not academic science. In
business, people keep things secret. Back in the 1960s and 70s when
IBM ruled the computer business, they would develop and begin
manufacturing entire computers lines without anyone outside the
company finding out anything until the day of the press conference
introducing the products already in production.

If the results indeed were obtained and were positive and useful it
is strange that Defkalion did not pay up according to its contract.
