A human translation in English will probably follow: http://22passi.blogspot.com/2011/04/aaa-cercansi-8-volontari.html In the blog comments I see that the text on the Citta del capo page has already been translated in English: * * * Professor Christos Stremmenos is the man who brought cold fusion in Greece, doing his best with the Greek government to facilitate the startup of the factory that will manifacture "Energy Catalyzers", reactors invented and tested by Andrea Rossi and Sergio Focardi, to build a 1-megawatt powerplant. Christos Stremmons came in Bologna from Greece in the '50s, city where he married and he worked at the University [of Bologna] until his retirement. His opposition to the colonels' military regime established in the late '60s in his home country made him strongly relate with the anti-fascist scene, and in particular deeply linked him with the Pasok (the Greek socialist party) founder Andreas Papandreou and his son George Papandreou, current Greek prime minister. In the '80s he's also been Greek ambassador in Italy. Since the first experiments of Fleichmann and Pons he's been interested to cold fusion, trying to replicate the two chemists' experiments. These studies made him get in touch with Sergio Focardi, ending up working together with him on cold fusion research using, in particular, Nickel powder instead of Palladium. In the first part of the interview, Stremmenos traces back the history of his scientific studies at the University of Bologna (in the "bunker" laboratory of the Physics Department) until the latest developments of Focardi's studies, occurred thanks to the innovations made by engineer Rossi: "we have many ideas - claims Stremmenos - and there still is a long way to go, but it's a road that will lead to incredible developments". In the second part of the interview Professor Stremmenos focuses on recent events: it's actually he who pleads with the Greek government to make an industrial plant possible. It's Defkalion Green Technology, business of which he is vice-chairman (on a "honorary basis", he says), which deals with that. Taking turns with hard attacks to the portion of the scientific community refusing to take into consideration the enthusiasm for the discovery of a new technology that he defines "revolutionary" and able to solve mankind's energy problems, Christos Stremmenos states: "it will be the market that will defeat skeptics, even if it's not a discovery that must serve capitalists, but mankind". He then notes that in October the first cold fusion power plant will be christened in Greece. On March, Greek economy newspaper "Express" reported": 2011-03-16: "A 200 million Euro investment is about to arrive in Xanthi (a city in northern Greece) for the startup of an industrial unit for the production of devices for low cost thermal and electric energy generation. The Greek business Defkalion Green Tecnologies, which will invest for the mass production and worldwide distribution of Hyperion devices, secured all rights of the scientific discovery of two Italian scientists (with a holding company) who claim to have invented a cold Nickel and Hydrogen cold fusion reactor which generates an amount of heat vastly greater than what the reactor needs to start up. Defkalion Green Technologies has not only secured all rights for the economic exploitation of the two Italian professors' invention, but also managed to made it an industrial product, in order to turn over not the energy situation of our country, but also at an international level.

This time a new set of observers were present, one of which is the chairman of the Swedish Skeptics Society, who confirmed that Copper is being formed from Hydrogen and Nickel -- cold fusion! Andrea Rossi grasps one of his new E-Cat units that offer a more compact size and higher power density. [ photo ] by Hank Mills Pure Energy Systems News The evidence in support of Andrea Rossi's "cold fusion" or "LENR" (low energy nuclear reaction) based Energy Catalyzer continues to grow. For those who are not aware, his system combines nickel powder, hydrogen gas, and an input of pressure and heat to produce a large output of thermal energy. On March 29th, 2011 yet another test of the technology was performed at the University of Bologna. Like previous tests, the outcome was a complete success. However, this time a smaller version of the E-Cat was tested and two new observers were present. Some well known players were present during the test. These include Andrea Rossi (the inventor of the E-Cat), Professor Sergio Focardi, Dr. David Bianchini, and of course Dr. Giuseppe Levi. Two guest observers were also present. One of the guest observers was Hanno Essen, associate professor of theoretical physics at the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology. He is also the chairman of the Swedish Skeptics Society. The other guest observer was Professor Sven Kullander of Uppsala University. He is also chairman of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences Energy Committee. Smaller System with Great Results The test was performed on a much smaller version of the E-Cat. The previous version of the E-Cat had a reactor volume of about one liter. This system has a reactor volume of only one twentieth of a liter. Four E-Cat systems were present, but only one was tested. The remaining units had their shielding and insulation removed. This allowed for their construction to be seen. This new model of E-Cat consists of a stainless steel reactor vessel which is placed inside of a copper pipe. Water flows between the copper pipe and the steel reactor vessel. There are inlets for both water and hydrogen gas. The reactor is activated by current flowing through a resistor which is wrapped around the outside of the copper pipe. When a certain temperature is reached the reaction begins. The setup is truly simple. It reminds me of old pipework from many years ago. Kullander and Essen were given permission to examine the setup, check for hidden power supplies, fill the reactor with hydrogen, calibrate the volume of water flow, monitor the temperature of the water flow in and out of the system, and observe the entire experiment. The reactor contained 50 grams of nickel powder and .11 grams of hydrogen. In their report (pdf) they state, "We had free access to the heater electric supply, to the inlet water hose, to the outlet steam valve and water hose, and to the hydrogen gas feed pipe. The total weight of the device was estimated to be around 4 kg." The result of the experiment was a constant average production of 4.69 kW of power for almost six hours. Additionally, the input was on average 330 watts (30 of which was used by the electronics controlling the setup). This is fifteen times less than the energy produced by the device (15x overunity). This output was less than the 10 to 15 kW produced by the previous version of the E-Cat, but this is very impressive for a device 1/20th the volume! Kullander and Essen also ruled out that the energy could be coming from a chemical source. They stated, "Any chemical process for producing 25 kWh from any fuel in a 50 cm3 container can be ruled out. The only alternative explanation is that there is some kind of a nuclear process that gives rise to the measured energy production." This statement is VERY significant coming from a report written not only by professional scientists, but also by the chairman of a skeptical society! Yet again, it seems the existence of cold fusion or LENR in the form of Andrea Rossi's Energy Catalyzer has been vindicated. However, there is more news to report. Transmutations It is well known to those who have been following the saga of Andrea Rossi's technology that one byproduct of the system is copper. Apparently, it is the result of the fusion reaction between nickel and hydrogen. Until now, we had to take Andrea Rossi's word for that, but the results of additional testing has confirmed his claims. A sample of fresh nickel powder and a sample of nickel powder that had been in an active E-Cat for two and a half months was given to Kullander and Essen. Elemental and isotopic analysis was performed on the samples utilizing both X-ray Fluorescence and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. The result was that the fresh nickel powder was almost totally pure nickel, but the nickel powder that had been in an E-Cat contained 10% copper and 11% iron. Two of the copper isotopes detected were Cu63 and Cu65. Kullander has stated this is proof of nuclear reactions taking place in the reactor... http://www.nyteknik.se/incoming/article3144960.ece/BINARY/Download+the+report+by+Kullander+and+Ess%C3%83%C2%A9n+(pdf Experimental test of a mini-Rossi device at the Leonardocorp, Bologna 29 March 2011.
