In this one hour long interview Monty Childs clears up a few misunderstandings and speculations that could easily arise after the latest video from the Bath conference, and explains some of the limits to what information they can make public (having to do with economy, integrity and security).
Apparently, they regard their original mission - to test the electric sun model - as fullfilled. They have found no disparities with it. But as far as I can tell, they have not proved it, at leas not in a way that would satisfy the scientific community. Among other things, he says that the production of peer-reviewed papers is not going to be a priority.
They have results that can not be explained by current theory, but they themselves do not understand, or have an alternative theory for why these things are happening. But since they can control it, they can start using it and harvesting the energy. (Reminds me a bit of something I read about the first atomic bomb: They didn't use relativity theory to build it.)
So it seems they want ti sidestep the standard scientific process, and instead cooperate with government agencies and investors to keep SAFIRE going, while sharing "what they can" with the rest of us.
Thats how I interpret this, at least.
