The Takeaways:

"We not only continue our program and we are almost ready, with technology that precedes that of Rossi during a year."

"However, the main and big difference in our device than that of Rossi is that our system is stable in performance, while that of Rossi or the last test failed to yield stable for more than five and a half hours. "

"The technology will present a few days the world will be entirely Greek and appreciate its contribution to the overthrow of what exists in the energy market. "

If they are 12 months ahead of Rossi and they also mention overthrowing the energy market, then they are probably able to generate electricity. Now that's going to make a lot of people sit up and take notice.

Hello Tom,

I could not make sense of that article.  Not a good translation and I'm too much of a literalist to get what's being said.  Is there any more about this?   I get it that they're claiming  Rossi stole their own technology?  I wonder if we're seeing the start of some healthy competition.  I do hope so. 

Actually - here a question for chess.  What happens when two parties claim a discovery of something and then both try to patent it?  I suppose Italy will favour Italian patents and Greece - Greek patents.  But what about those international rights/  Golly. 

Kindest regards,
Rosemary

I just skimmed through it and picked out a few pertinent paragraphs relating to Defkalion.
However here is a copy of parts of the article with comments:- http://ecatnews.com/?p=1368s
It appears that Piantelli may also be involved:- http://www.defkalion-energy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=508

Guys,

I've been hounding one of our editors of our local rag to make this news public.  We engaged in a welter of correspondence and the conclusion?  The sweet guy has now given me permission to tell this story and - hopefully - he'll then edit and publish it.

So.  Here's hoping.  When I've finished the article I'll post it here.  Then I'll send it on.  Who knows.  Our public may yet be informed.



I'll need to try and write it with some pretense at impartiality.  LOL.

@Rosemary:

We would all love to see the article you are having published for a newspaper.  We’ll be looking forward to it.  Hopefully the mainstream media will pick up the story soon but the big networks won’t touch it as of yet.  My realistic hopes are that 60 minutes will run with it and do a full length expose on it.  They’ve aired shows on cold fusion and other exotic energy technologies before so it’s definitely their forte. 

Most of the people I work with get their news from non-mainstream sources such as democracynow.org and pesn.com.  It seems as though the public is now starting to distrust the mainstream press in general because of their selective and limited coverage of what they consider newsworthy.  People also enjoy online sources for other reasons as well such as the ability to choose which stories they want to hear, not have to pay a fee (like a newspaper charges) and watch without having to sit through ANY commercials. 

Concerning the patent issues; I’m not 100% certain but I believe the first to file is the one awarded the patent.  At least here in the U.S.  Rossi could lose out in his U.S. patent application filing to Defkalion.  The reason for this is because Rossi refused to disclose his “secret” catalyst which actually weakens his protection.  By not disclosing key pieces of his technology, it leaves room for others (say Defkalion) to waltz right in and disclose this in their patent application which could turn Rossi into the infringer of their patent.  This was a tremendous blunder on Rossi’s part. 

Best regards,
