DEFKALION IS RE-DEFINING SUCCESS IN LENR

Motto:

“In order to succeed, we must define Success.

(old truism)

A nice reader, who confessed to be a scientist and is concerned re LENR, has helped me to understand better some important events that will happen next week.

The reader, a scientist, not member of our LENR community, will attend ICCF-18 and hopes that this conference sheds more light on this fascinating subject.

He (I call him Brother John) agrees that reproducibility is key.

In Brother John’s words:

One thing that concerns me is that after 24 years, I'm still hearing too many premature claims of success, as well as premature but incomplete "theoretical" claims (either "divorced" from experimental reality, or sometimes the converse - supposedly "in line" with experimental literature but not well-grounded theoretically).

I have asked Brother John what he thinks about these claims of success, what is:”success” in LENR?

He is a realist researcher and defines “success” by:

1)  reproducibility
(2) scalability along with an amount of excess power which is clearly beyond that attributable to experimental error

This is the natural and rational definition of success here, however most of the authors are contented with any much more modest signs of excess heat or of some clearly nuclear phenomena and are very tolerant toward bad reproducibility.

OK the task – also of this blogger is to define the degree of success of two somewhat inter-related events:

a)       The Defkalion demos of  July 22 and 23 – the first public ones in a series;

b)       ICCF-18 as a step in the long history that started as Cold Fusion in the Fleischmann Pons Cell.

The first is a tactic issue and needs a fast answer, the second necessitates strategic thinking, re-thinking and deep analysis. The coming days will be dedicated to the analysis of the Defkalion demos. I know the Internet will help me if I succeed to use its formidable potential, and I hope that you, my dear reader will tell me what do you think about the demos; PLEASE DO IT!

As told recently a great 89er experimentalist cold fusionist has seen such a demo and has concluded: “it is obvious you have a robust device which generates heat on demand. All of you deserve congratulations on this achievement!”

OK, soon we will know how many people worldwide, who are watching these demos, will come to similar conclusions as our expert friend. It is not a “now or never” problem, many such tests will follow and commercial Hyperions will be convincing indeed.

The most positive factor and the main virtue of the DGT company is professionalism. And this is the reason of my deep empathy and

desire to see them victorious.

Usually speaking about professionalism we think first in terms of rules of conduct. However, for each profession and especially for researchers there are both specific. Professionalism is first of all

problem personalization- deep dedication, the ability to live (for) a problem- there are practically no clear limits between professional and personal, and Defkalion has demonstrated total dedication to their energy source. (Conversely capitulation to a wicked problem- I am alluding to the R- problem in LENR)

An other “sine qua non” condition” for professionalism is the trend to know everything about the subject and use a very broad inter- and trans-disciplinar range of sources of information (read please DGT’s ICCF-17 paper). Total motivation leads to a complete, holistic & holographic vision of your problem. This is

an asymptotic trend; Defkalion has discovered and revealed so many surprisingly new aspects of their HENI process and has opened new avenues for scientific research. For example a new understanding of the potential of nanoplasmonics, Rydberg hydrogen and Bose-Einstein Condensates. This is only the start.

The initial ideal image of Cold Fusion – never clear, now fades away.  

Professionalism is superior knowledge management, agile surprise management and solid reputation management.

Professionalism is effectiveness and efficiency in using the best tools- ALL the necessary tools! In this case not only scientific theories but also technology and engineering.  and the best people- forming genuine functional team in this case in Greece, then in Canada and now we will see the Italian DGT –Europe team in action...

Professionalism is discipline, order, rules and very high standards;

but even the highest standard is standard i.e. a form of healthy bureaucracy.

Professionalism is wise plans, proud search for excellence, is fighting for the advancement of the profession (and by Jove!, it was placidly stagnating for so many years!) It is pragmatism in its best form.

We have to mention here that Defkalion has a well developed

and verified Protocol, for the experiment per se. This has to be combined now with other protocols- diplomatic, for mass media.

Hopefully these combinations will work well, however small glitches that are always possible cannot change the basic fact that the device works as it will be presented.

In 2011, I was very disappointed by the non-professionalism of the dozen experiments made by Rossi; my papers re this can be found there:

Now we will see the difference.

Obviously, Defkalion is respecting always the merciless Rule 1=0

too, see please:

The coming test is discussed in many places on the Web. Friends and enemies are preparing for attacks and battles; the test, even if everything will go perfectly has to fight with petrified memes, arrogant egos, hostile interest, Koalemos and so on.

Very soon you will receive the proofs of Defkalion’s professionalism and of Hyperion’s functionality.
