I largely agree, but what I'm hoping to avoid is something where Defkalion offers "X, Y and Z" as evidence, and skeptics say "But what we really wanted to see is A, B and C!" for proof. If there is a sort of shared concensus amongst the various parties of what steps need to be taken then this can be avoided.

It's not that hard.

Allow an independent auditor to supervise the construction steps to make sure there are no hidden power lines. When I see that only the like-minded are invited as witnesses and there is no means to audit how the device was constructed, that sets of alarm bells. It's just too similar to the global warming bad science.

"In recent weeks we've been hearing about how Defkalion is asking for $40 million euros for exclusive manufacturing rights in each country from franchise purchasers. This strikes me as bizarre. Why should I pay as much to supply Luxembourg or Albania as someone else pays for the U.S. or Japan?"

I'm sure that each of these franchises also contains a royalty/fee per unit sold in addition to the $40MM.

Correction

You can’t put one worldwide price on the unit and shove it out the door.

You are probably right over the target. The manipulation of the weak force shouldn't be all that terribly more complex than the manipulation of the electro-weak force, or the electro-magnetic force, or "juice" as we call it out in the garage.

Eventually some guy finds the switch and turns it on.

Why would I give you $10M to sell to a country that only has 5M people in it when I can give you the same 5M to sell in a country that has 500M?

there are a number of physicists who do support it to at least some degree

What they cannot do is tell you how it works. They merely invoke a holiday from long established laws of physics, but with no evidence (direct experimental demonstration) that such laws can be violated. I am not talking about things that are obscure or present subjects of controversy, but rather long established things, like conservation of energy or quantum uncertainty principles. [there are some principlest that have never been violated, in popular parlance such as the no free lunch principle or the can't push on a rope principle, or the whole = the sum of the parts princple, and these guys violate all of them]. And let me talk just briefly about the conservation of energy issue. If these guys produced the energy they claim they would have produced, there would be dead physicists and demolished laboratories all over the place. Governments would have shut these guys down for a long list of safety violations. There is nothing to see because there is nothing to see.

So, no it is not an over the top comment. It is a comment that these guys have a lot to demonstrate, everyting we know is against them, and they need either to put up or shut up. Instead they resort to a tediously long lists of special pleading about how it is different this time. It isn't, never has been, and I will assert here and now, never will be. There is nothing in the physics of how these things claim to operate that we have not understood long long ago. They are not invoking any new, as yet unknown physics. They are claiming they can take exception to well established principles, and that is simply BS, BS being persued with a lot of public and private money.

So far all its produced are promises and hype.

They should rename it the O-Cat

Why would NASA be in consultations with a scam artist?

My guess is that the ‘secrecy’ is because the ‘technology’ is so simple and could be built in anybodies’ garage with off-the-shelf- parts.

You rely upon trade secrets when you are confident that you can protect your franchise by keeping it secret. If anyone can do it, then your only recourse is to patent it. The way you patent something is that you disclose it, which is what patent means. So, this argument in defense of their secretiveness is total BS.

Where is the benefit TO Rossi to explain in detail and permit all these examinations. Either it works as he says or it doesn’t. We’ll all find out in October.

The same NASA that feeds us the global warming scam?

How long do you think he would still be breathing unassisted if he accepted 40M from someone for a scam? Think he would make it for an entire week?

You should join Hagelstein, Miley, Storms and Sinha. Maybe you could co-publish this with one of them. There are just two minor issues. One, fusion is a strong-force (nuclear binding) phenomenon, not a weak-force phenomenon. Two, we will be able to manipulate the weak force as soon as we have a reliable source of Higgs bosons, if they exist. The LHC is a mult-billion dollar accelerator looking for Higgs as we speak. In the quadrillions of particles they have produced, there is some tantalizing evidence that they might have detected it, or might not have. But if I were you, I would try to publish this theory before someone else does.

For a certainty no money will be returned to investors if the whole thing goes belly up.

You didn't read Yeong E. Kim's proposed explanation of LENR did you.

I think he's going to get the awards and cudos for all of it.

I don’t think they would be bragging about it if they thought there was a chance of being scammed.

I did. It is BS. There are many errors, but a fundamental one is starting with a quasi-particle (many body) theory (which is applicable only over length scales involving hundreds of thousands of lattice units, and then trying to extrapolate to single particle nuclear range phenomenon.

The second problem, I am sure you picked up on, is that it has nothing to do with your invocation of the ability to manipulate weak interactions, and for that theory I believe you are quite on your own and free to publish without having to worry overly much about priority.

Patents mean nothing these days. The Chinese do not care about patents. Patent infringement cases can take decades to work thru the courts of just one country, much less dozens. The minute the design is published the stealing begins..................

“Why would NASA be in consultations with a scam artist?”

First response. They meet with the president don’t they.

Second response. Attributing any validity to one entity based on an unclear association with another entitiy is a logic error.

Third response, NASA will talk to about anybody, they were even doing some antigravity research based on some iffy work by a lone scientist a decade or so ago.

Fourth response, you are reaching too hard, if you have to list reasons that you aren’t being scammed at some level you feel you might be being scammed. Listen to the force Luke.

What cute, clean, polished, child like world do you live in?

How long do you think he would still be breathing unassisted if he accepted 40M from someone for a scam? Think he would make it for an entire week?

Think of a jail where you can get a shiv stuck in your guts for stealing a cigarette. Think of kids in school where you will get the snot beat out of you for winking at the wrong girl. Think of the Mexican border where if you don’t pay up weekly as demanded, the cartel will kill everyone in the building then walk across the street and sit down for dinner.

Do you think multimillionaires are willing to be known at the country club as fools who would drop $40M with no physical retribution? If you do, you have no idea what the real world is all about. Cash the check and deliver as promised or you’ll pay with pieces of your head, sometimes it can be your entire head.
