Andrea Rossi and others at Defkalion's June 23, press conference in Greece
It looks like Defkalion could be going ahead with production of a cold fusion device without Andrea Rossi. The e-cat inventor broke off his agreement to license his technology to the Greek company at the end of July. Now a letter from a Defkalion spokesman makes it appear that the company could have its own cold fusion device.
The letter sent to the Pure Energy Systems blog states that there are substantial differences between the device that powers Defkalion’s Hyperion home heating and electricity generation system and the e-cat. It lists several differences including a different cooling system, different coolants and different electronic controls. Defaklion plans to go into production with Hyperion by the end of this year.
It should be noted that the letter has not been posted on Defkalion’s web site. Therefore it may not reflect Defkalion company policy. The letter does not say if Defkalion holds a patent on this technology or not. The company has apparently filed for one in Greece.
Yet the letter from Symeon Tsalikoglou of Defkalion Green Technologies also states that the system is based on Rossi’s technology. This could mean that Defkalion is using Rossi’s technology without permission which would violate the Italian patent he holds for the e-cat. This could be the reason why Rossi says he is planning to sue the Greek company. Rossi has stated that a suit has been filed in Italian courts.
This could also mean that Defkalion does not believe Rossi’s patent is valid. Rossi’s work is partially based on the research of two other Italian scientists Sergio Focardi and Francesco Piantelli. Piantelli was apparently working on nickel hydrogen cold fusion years before Rossi. He has also applied for three patents of his own and launched is own company Nichenergy to commercialize a cold fusion device of his own. There is no evidence that Piantelli has any connection to Defkalion. Focardi is working with Rossi on e-cat development.
This is not the first time Defkalion has claimed to have a working cold fusion device. In the Defkalion press conference on June 23, Alexandros Xanthoulis, Defaklion’s main spokesman, told reporters that his company had tested a device in two industrial applications in Greece. Rossi has stated no e-cats have been shipped to Greece or tested there.
It looks like we have not heard the end of this dispute. It also sounds as if it is going to lead to a very nasty court battle.
Why does Defkalion need Rossi anymore? The Greek government is examining and certifying multiple Defkalion devices (Hyperions) as we speak. That Defkalion engineering team really took the ball and ran it down the field quick. Hopefully that is an indication that now Rossi has pointed out what is possible, multiple players will quickly enter the market with their own products.
I have two government reports. The first from the US Defense Intelligent Agency DIA-08-0911-003 Technological Forecast: Worldwide Research on Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions Increasing and Gaining Acceptance, names several teams that are getting above unity results. The second (sorry, confidential as promised to my source) EXPLICITLY AND IN DETAIL explains the experiments they were performing using a Ni-H reactions that was getting above unity (although they mistakenly thought it was from the hydrogen turning into hydrinos). Heck, they even name the “secret catalyst.”
Using that last report even I could start a company (my source has engineering teams working on it now and is looking for investors). Simply put, the snake now has too many heads to be killed by the fossil fuel giants. It is our duty as human beings to do everything we can to stop the Sixth Great Extinctions now underway.
Please spread the word: you’ll be insulted and demeaned as I have, but in the end you’ll be vindicated. It is too important to take a hands off approach. Clean energy 1/10 the cost of dirty coal. Nickel is 3% of the mass of the Earth. It only takes 7 million calories to put a pound of mass into space, when a gram of nickel using LENR yields about 1.7 billion calories. A super tanker full of oil (2 million barrels) is the energy equivalent of less than a ton of nickel.
Interesting point. I expect we’ll be knocked. That could mean the US government actually holds the patents. I would like to see those reports. That means nobody owns this which is good and bad. Good because it means rapid commercialization and adoption, bad because it means a lot of lawsuits and lots of money for the lawyers. See the mess going on in the US wireless internet industry where everybody is suing everybody for what this could look like. As I just noted, Godes and his bunch are doing something similar and they seem to have US government support.
