It appears that everyone that had anything to do with DGT will be tainted by this unfortunate chapter in the book of cold fusion. I admit that I had great hopes for them despite the mounting evidence against their actually having a functioning product.
Perhaps future developments will be forthcoming that will salvage their company reputation but that latest report suggests otherwise. Is it time to move on and be more discerning in the future regarding trust before careful verification? This is a tough blow to accept. Time for a stiff drink.

Kim and his theory about Defkalion's reactor I have heard from two reliable sources that Kim based his theory papers on information provided to him by Defkalion. Defkalion "would not let Kim get close" to a reactor. One source says: "They only provided him with data that they claimed was from experiments. Dr. Kim based all of his observations and writings on what DKG provided." He did not perform his own measurements at all. As I said, my sources say Kim was barred from accessing the machine. I guess it is possible he never asked to take measurements, or he did not want to. Either way, he looks bad. If he did not want to make measurements, that is irresponsible. If he is not good at hands-on experiments he should have brought along a grad student. Or he should have written in the paper: "This is based on data provided by Defkalion. The author has not observed the machine in operation or taken any data." If he did want to take measurements, but they refused to let him, he should have packed his bags, gone home, and reported they are a bunch of frauds. - Jed
