I'm going to guess that they wanted to see the kind that works.  I will
further venture that they would have settled for any table top nuclear
fusion reactor that *they* could prove to themselves properly worked when
properly tested... by them.  That's what I think Rossi didn't want -- an

Defkalion's CEO says about the 48 hours work condition in this paper.

If the E-cat has heated the office for two years, then it seems  later it
made serious  regress. You can show any photography, how could we know that
the thing heats indeed?
As regarding Prof Focardi who;
a) tacitly accepts the role of Father of Cold Fusion;
b) has told his old friend Piantelli- I cannot communicate more with you;
c) says that he does know what the wonder additive called catalyst is- that
translates to"Rossi does not trust me"
- I will not believe what he says about this mythical heater

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
were "improved", the methods of measurement were "optimized"

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

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

The test chamber is indeed very similar to Piantelli's high vacuum

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

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

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.
