>From Jarold: /snip/ "and what does that say about Defkalion who is only in the LENR business because of Rossi. If no valid tests are performed by either group by March 31, this whole thing is most likely a fraud." /snip/
"Defkalion GT was not invited and did not participate officially in any public demonstration nor the preparation of any other third party's public event related to LENR devises [sic], since 17th of January 2011." (http://www.defkalion-energy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=258&p=3300#p3300) When Rossi allegedly failed to meet contractual requirements, Defkalion went silent. As the relationship was severed, between July to October of 2011, they weren't releasing any information. These are the expected actions of someone reassessing their lot. The impression that I get (baseless speculation) is that Rossi may have misled Defkalion as to his success with Ni-H, and his alleged catalyst. But, possibly, his core idea of using micro/nano nickel was indeed a breakthrough. When Defkalion pushed forward on their own, they may have found a way to get reliable, controllable, excess heat. Their silence-then-reemergence is interesting. Where Rossi's past may be entirely consistent with that of someone profiting from outrageous claims, the named Defkalion directors do not strike me as a group of con-artists. If the scenario really were that they were "victims of a con", what are the odds that they could all be brought on board to perpetuate the scam? These are former chairmen, presidents, and even an ambassador. Aside from a few photos/videos, there has been no evidence that Defkalion does, or does not have the technology. Inviting people inside, and promising upcoming independent testing, are great signs that they believe they do. It is wrong to place arbitrary time frames on what appears to be a more reasoned approach. They are not obligated to provide us with anything, but they seem to understand that there is a wall of doubt to overcome. Moreover, they finally seem ready to address those doubts. They've even claimed that most of third party tests will be streamed on the Internet, if the testers agree (http://www.defkalion-energy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=926&start=200). Patience. R.L.
