His "report" was more of a checklist of suggestions. As far as I know, no independent observer has done a successful test of a Defkalion reactor. As I have said here, the people who went there all signed NDAs. Defkalion has not released any of their findings. However, some of those people told me confidentially that the machine did not work. Results were inconclusive at best. One said, "I wouldn't bother going back." If Defkalion had a positive, independent report, I suppose they would have released it by now. They are strange people, but not that strange. They would not sit on a positive report when their reputation is in shreds. I do not think they have a positive report. At one point I recall they said something like, "we can't release the positive reports because they would endanger intellectual property." That is nonsense. It would be easy to edit down a report to scrub out all technical details about the reactor, leaving only the calorimetry. You could add a statement to the beginning saying "this is a partial version of the report describing only calorimetry." I am not going to accuse them of fraud, because I do not know anyone they have defrauded; I have no idea what they are up to; and I cannot imagine why they would do such stupid things. Who does flow calorimetry without confirming the flow rate?!? (Okay, Krivit did . . . Who else?) Here is my opinion: 1. I wouldn't trust them as far as I can throw them. 2. They are either frauds or idiots. 3. The sooner these people fold their tent and silently steal away, the better it will be for cold fusion. That is an OPINION, not an accusation. I have no evidence for it, just a lot of hearsay and an unpaid bill for $1,400. - Jed
