What exactly is meant by ‘tech packs’?
I believe the tech-packs will be the instructions for testing the HHTs that will be sent to the manufacturers and their engineers.

That’s from my exchanges with their CFO but it is information he will provide (and more) to anyone expressing an interest in investing (though as the funding round is closing I assume that openness might be curtailed in the future).
Another update from Brillouin:
- They had a problem with the seals of the HHTs melting because of the heat generated. Problem has been solved (along with a few others such as electro-magnetic interference) and they are now going back to improving COP. The goal is to send tech-packs to manufacturers once 2X COP out-of-the-wall has been reached.
- Their ongoing funding round is about to be closed.
The patent referred above is a European Union Patent. Godes is talking about US Patents and the fact that the USPTO refuses to grant patents to LENR companies.
A COP of 221/152 is pretty low and won't be sufficient to obtain commercial interest.
Looks like their current harvesting technology is not the best solution.
I would tend to think they need a different technology with higher yield.
From what I gather from the Brillouin release, anything that would produce more than 4,000 Watts with a COP over 1 would be of great interest to boiler makers. If that's the case and we assume scaling is possible, it's mostly an engineering problem that needs to be solved.
Firshein sent an update to all stakeholders today.
All in all, a pretty hopeful one from where I stand. They're moving to a commercial model of their heater showing more than 1 COP "out of the wall" with water flow calorimetry (their best test shows 152 Watts in and 221 Watts out) and seem hopeful that they will be able to showcase it to third parties pretty soon.
Interest from a well-known defence contractor is disclosed for the first time.
What is most interesting is that the usual pleading for more money is very much tuned down. I take it as a sign of confidence that things may be about to pan out.
Robert Godes doing some teasing, I assume.

Just a power supply that does not work and the supplier wants a video on youtube showing the problem.” (Added by Curbina)
This article has grabbed the attention of Brillouin: https://journals.aps.org/prc/a….1103/PhysRevC.101.044609...
This presentation dates from 2013, but only published by Globalbem this week , hence the info on Defkalion (which does not excist anymore).
David is a contract General Counsel and not staff member of Brillouin.
If you look at David Niebauer's website, he hasn't published much for the last 3 years.
I took a look at it and it did seem that it was an old presentation. Strange that it only was posted now.

SoT calling people dumb and gullible again...
Here are the latest news I got from Firshein in September.
They are building/have built two new calorimetry set-ups, a "mass-flow" one (for see-it-across-the-room purposes) and an SID one (on the basis of the methodology put forward by Team Google). This has taken precedence over raising the COP and will be/is being used for demonstrations to potential investors.
I'll probably get an update from BEC at the beginning of December and let you know if there is anything new.
Wrong tense...favors should be favoured.. Assisi may change the tense for others too.
Do you believe that Godes should change his theory on the base of Holmlid’s work or do you know for a fact that he has?
I’ll point out that, as evidenced in Tanzella’s abstract for ICCF, Brillouin is doing exactly what I believe should be done to use the opportunity offered by Google’s initiative, i.e. using the calorimetry set-up proposed by Berlinguette and alii as a standard. I do not believe I need to explain the massive repercussions if this calorimetry set-up gives the same results as the ones Tanzella has obtained up to now.
I was being overly cautious as I don’t think this has been remarked upon by anyone yet. It would obviously be game-changing if the Google team were to confirm Tanzella’s results re Brillouin.
Would anyone confirm my understanding of Tanzella’s abstract on Brillouin’s calorimetry, which seems to imply that they have been working with the Google team?
Only if you have not applied for a patent. If you have applied for a patent, assuming this is a real discovery and it is a valid application, you will be widely replicated after the application is made public. That happens before the patent is granted (if ever). So you might as well help people replicate now. There are benefits to having people replicate. They confirm your claims. There is a problem, too. They may start intensive research and find ways to improve the device before you do. But you will not lose the original intellectual property.
Sure but it does not always work that way, and most of the time, if it is possible, you go for a combination of patent and trade secret. You have a patent with the bare minimum in it, and you keep the rest under wrap as a trade secret. This is exactly what Brillouin is doing, as they have obtained patents in all major jurisdictions outside of the US but the content of those patents is not sufficient to allow replication.
I am not asking them to give away their secret, just that they provide enough for independent validation. That would further their position to gain funding for developing a product.
Validation of the results is of course the goal. But validation through total replication seems dangerous from a business standpoint.
