Lewan has a link to his biography, and he just added this to his blog: "Gamberale has a PhD in theoretical high energy physics from the University of Milan, and at the Milan based Pirelli Labs he has further developed the theoretical work in coherent electrodynamics by his countryman, late Dr. Giuliano Preparata. Among his experimental work he has been assessing the technology of Black Light Power. He has also made studies on electrochemical loading of palladium wires." Anyway, we don't need to know about him. The president of Defkalion agreed that the flow calorimetry was wrong. So did Hadjichristos and the guy from NI. Everyone now agrees it was not working. Only one question remains: was it a mistake, or fraud? > I recall that his conclusion about the flow meter was validated by others > you know. > Yes. Others including Alexander Xanthoulis, the president of Defkalion, quoted by Lewan. Who else are you waiting for?

They had numbers on the screen with no verification at all. I have been putting numbers on computer screens for 40 years and I am here to tell you that numbers mean nothing without proper verification. When Gamberale used his own methods, he discovered the problem immediately. It is obvious that his methods work and Defkalion's do not. This is beyond dispute. Gamberale's methods are the ones that I or anyone else with an ounce of common sense would use. As I said, this is not rocket science. > But I am not persuaded one way or the other that Gamberale's account is > not an exaggerated or misleading one in some details. > NI and everyone else who has looked into in confirm the account. The numbers in the report tell the story. There is no doubt about any of it. The flow rate was completely bogus. - Jed
