Is Rossi writing about what he expects Defkalion to do? What they did? What? Another hallmark of a scam is that the perpetrators act as if the discovery was not as important as it really would be if it were real. For example, Steorn supposedly discovered a mysterious magnetic interaction that resulted in motors that ran themselves, overcoming friction, and providing free energy beyond that. But how would a normal person or company act if in possession of such a wonder? Wouldn't they be extremely active in developing and showing and proving the idea? Would they not rapidly enlist patent lawyers by the dozens? Would they not have the concept proven and developed in the largest, best and most effective places? But none of that ever happened with Steorn. All they ever did was give demos that were underwhelming and obscure enough so that enthusiasts could interpret them as success. But they never were. And there was never any progress and still isn't. And all their customers, if there were any, were anonymous. They gave away only one device (I'm not even clear that they really ever did that-- it's sort of a vague recollection at this point) and the recipient said he couldn't make it work. Their most prominent point of contact was their forum and what did they do there? They responded tangentially, incompetently, and weirdly. At the same time, they attacked their most reasonable critics with sarcasm and threatened to (or actually did) ban them. They threatened and never brought law suits for libel. This is precisely Defkalion's behavior currently. In the area of demonstrations, lectures, and the like, everything with Steorn progressed at a snail pace and none of the activity was appropriate to the uniqueness and grandeur of the discovery, had it been real. Proponents defended Steorn, postulating that they were concerned about someone stealing the technology. Sound familiar? This is exactly the pattern Rossi is following. If Rossi really had a cold fusion reactor on his table top and was using it to provide continuous heating for even one room of his "factory", why would he not show it? Why instead would he have done four hour inadequate demos when he now has a SECOND factory heater that runs CONTINUOUSLY!? And if the excuse is that he is keeping a low profile, why does he mention these things AT ALL? None of this makes sense. Not Rossi and not Defkalion. And when things don't add up, you'd better think maybe you're being flummoxed.
