*What does proof buy you…* * *
*When someone tells you something, you can either ignore it or try it out. If they supply you proof, that just motivates you more to try to replicate it. If they supply no proof, you may not feel as confident that the thing will work but you can still try to verify it via experimentation.* * * *The function of proof is to just make you feel better that you are not wasting your time..* * * On Tue, Jul 30, 2013 at 4:12 PM, Arnaud Kodeck <[email protected]>wrote: > Defkalion is making a lot of claims without proof of what they say.**** > > ** ** > > ** ** > ------------------------------ > > *From:* Axil Axil [mailto:[email protected]] > *Sent:* mardi 30 juillet 2013 18:46 > > *To:* vortex-l > *Subject:* Re: [Vo]:The recent ICCF18 (Defkcalion Demo) > **** > > ** ** > > *http://coldfusionnow.org/iccf-18-day-5-presentations-and-awards/***** > > * ***** > > *ICCF-18 Day 5: Presentations and > Awards<http://coldfusionnow.org/iccf-18-day-5-presentations-and-awards/> > ***** > > * ***** > > *An excerpt from the reference.***** > > * ***** > > * ***** > > *Theoretical Analysis and Reaction Mechanisms for Experimental Results of > Hydrogen-Nickel Systems presented by Yeong Kim was anticipated because of > his recent collaboration with Defkalion Green Technologies, who beamed in a > video of their demonstration of the R-5 reactor in Milan on Tuesday.***** > > * ***** > > *The Hyperion reactor contains a core of nickel metal foam.
