You're right, we can't know; but we do know that Rossi and Defkalion were working together two years ago. We know that Defkalion had tested Rossi's device and were familiar with his method. The only thing they may not have had access to was the nickel material in the reactor, and the internal construction of it. The fact that they were able to reproduce the reaction, and do it better than Rossi could do it two years ago, tells us that they discovered a material that works, along with Rossi, and Mills, and perhaps Miley and others. It is a replication in a fundamental sense. If a hundred different teams replicated this nickel-hydrogen reaction using various different types of nickel and hydrogen, there would be no more dissent over the reality of the effect. If everyone can do it, then there must be something to it. We, who have followed this for twenty-four years, forget that to the rest of the world, cold fusion was a mistake. We're still at stage one, trying to show others, "hey this looks real." If a few more groups of people can replicate high power, nickel-hydrogen reactions, then thousands of people will start trying and that will speed up the research and engineering quite a bit. The demonstration was really good. They ran a control run which showed no effect. Then they degassed it, and ran the device with hydrogen, and immediately the effect became very clear. They even used the heat calculations 'as if' the water were never converted to steam, even though Mats Lewan testified that there was NO water in the out flow; so the COP was much higher than the calculated value. The only thing the critics can say now is that both Rossi and Defkalion are defrauding us. There is no other explanation than the obvious. Everyone who's been following this for years should watch this demo. http://new.livestream.com/triwu2/Defkalion-US Craig
