So they claim they paid Rossi $15 million if I understand it right. If it's
true, he should have been able to fund U of B research for some time and he
did not need to sell his house.  It's a big if, of course.

It says they had $15 million ready but Rossi did not complete the 
contract. That means they never paid Rossi the money and now they seem 
to be claiming the technology is all theirs.

Yes!  It's really cool and I want one.  However they don't say what it is

They are technologically skilled, good engineers and have refused
to pay for an immature and unsafe product.
Excess heat is only a necessary, but not a sufficient condition for an
Energy Source. Rossi's E-cat has worked (was functional) but did not worked
well.
Defkalion, it seems, has defined the problem and has worked out
their own solution.
If other customers accept to buy immature products- it is their decision
and has some logic in it. And risks too.

So it's inappropriate for Defkalion (or the magazine article writers) to
make use of it without attribution. It's also inappropriate to suggest it
has something to do with what Defkalion made unless they provide evidence
that it's something they used.  It looks like puffery.  And of the two

I have some similar photos from Piantelli taken many years ago. This is the

The test chamber is indeed very similar to Piantelli's high vacuum
installation of Molecular Beam Epitaxy (see my 3rd paper abou Piantelli in
my Blog).
The Greek installation is:  The engine configuration of the grains
of Nickel in vacuum i.e. has the same function- manufacture of Ni
nanoclusters. Translation a bit surrrealistic but it is clearly the
installation for manufacture of the fuel. Or one of them.

I expect a copy editor misplaced the caption. You should not make
accusations of nefarious behavior every time a magazine makes a minor error.

It is not puffery, whatever that is. It is lab equipment. The average
reader would not know what it is, or whether it is expensive equipment or
bathroom plumbing.

Regarding Italian bathroom plumbing, see the movie Bread and Tulips. A
sweet comedy including an Italian plumbing equipment supplier who really
wants to be a private eye.

Ah. You refer to the Sept. 6 test done by Quantum engineers and NASA, but
which fails due to leakage. Yes, Rossi's prototype equipment often fails
because of leakage or some unknown problem. Defkalion says their reactors
are more reliable.

Except that someone recently mailed me photos of the damn thing, with
people I know standing around it, and test data. Plus Focardi and others

As I said, I have never caught Rossi telling a lie about any engineering
technical claim. No skeptic has caught him, either, as far as I know. All
of their examples of lies are their own misunderstandings. He says things
about theory and transmutation that may not be true, but I would not call
those statements lies. I think he does not know much about theory. Since
I know nothing, I cannot judge.

As I mentioned, I am trying to get permission to upload those photos. It

If the E-cat has heated the office for two years, then it seems  later it

the thing heats indeed?

a) tacitly accepts the role of Father of Cold Fusion;

I have never accused Rossi of fraud, I think yes he can obtain excess heat
but has not sufficient controil. But he lied a lot starting with the
catalyst, nad with saying that his process has nothing to do
with the fprmer Ni-H processes. The results of the experiments
