Daniele Passerini says below the subject of LENR was mentioned again in the Italian parliament last week. Harry
Italian: http://22passi.blogspot.ca/2012/12/nuova-interpellanza-parlamentare-pro.html google translation: Thursday, December 27, 2012New parliamentary interpellation pro LENR On 21 December last year, while many were concerned about the end of the world as we know it today, someone gave its contribution to end it really, as soon as possible, and to see rise to the era in which a range of knowledge, now confined within the fences of experience of Chemistry and Physics, for example, will finally be joined together to give life to the commercial and industrial exploitation of LENR and the scientific recognition of a "heresy" whose authors, today, are condemned to academic stake by the Inquisition for the scientist mere fact of naming it: the ability to "catalyze" nuclear reactions cleaned with certain technical procedures ... *** Double Act Question for written answer 4-19306 filed by ELIZABETH ZAMPARUTTI Friday, December 21, 2012, meeting no. 738 C.4/19306 ZAMPARUTTI, Scilipoti, BELTRANDI BERNARDINI, FLOUR COSCIONI, MECACCI and MAURIZIO TURKISH. - The President of the Council of Ministers, the Minister of Economic Development. - To know - given that: the reactions are piezonuclear fissions of non-radioactive elements and relatively light (from the iron down, in the table of Mendeleev) that split into elements inert even lighter, without the production of gamma rays and / or of radioactive long-lived, but with the emission of neutrons. They are induced by pressure waves both in liquids than in solids. The first evidence of such phenomena in solids have been observed by Professor Alberto Carpinteri at the Polytechnic of Turin in 2008, using granite rocks and basaltic stressed in compression and subject to fracture; Moreover, in the even broader field of low energy nuclear reactions (LENR), significant results have been obtained recently in Italy and in the world (USA, Japan, CIS) in laboratories and research centers of great prestige, even at an industrial character; as a result of these findings, the Commission EU research presented in July 2012, a document entitled 'Industrial unit material forward-looking technologies: workshop on materials for emerging energy technologies, "which reiterated the' quality 'and importance of experimental results of the research on LENR, internationally, that deserves more attention in this new field of research with appropriate funding far-reaching; there is now a considerable amount of experiments conducted over the past few years, with a finally satisfactory repeatability of the phenomenon and a presence of an ever increasing number of similar experiences from other research groups that observed under varying conditions of stress abnormal reactions, including those of fission, in addition to important evidence obtained from the laboratory scale to that of the Earth's crust (in the specific case of piezofissione); LENR in Italy on several research groups are at the forefront in the world, researchers at STMicroelectronics (Dr. Mastromatteo) have recently confirmed the possibility to obtain in the laboratory nuclear fissions of light elements and the same researchers replicated with a different experimental setup , the important results from the point of view of calorimeter, obtained from Dr. Francesco Celani INFN Frascati in 2012; there is a good reproducibility of the experiments of Dr. Celani and a remarkable power density obtained in his experiments, reproducibility occurred thanks to the collaboration of scientists and engineers from National Instruments and their specific instrumentation; There are also the progress made in the field by Professor LENR Piantelli, former University of Siena, in 1992, and the results promising, recently announced (at the technological center of Pordenone) by Dr. Andrea Rossi, the results obtained thanks to the collaboration with Sergio Focardi, Professor Emeritus at the Department of Physics at the University of Bologna; there are also other replicas independent of the M. Fleischmann Memorial Project and by French institutional groups have confirmed the results confirmed by Dr. Celani -: whether and what action it will take the government to provide researchers and "discoverers" of these new phenomena the full assistance and support of the structures responsible to coordinate all relevant steps to obtain any support in terms of equipment and resources (ie research funds), with the aim of deepening the nuclear phenomena also highlighted and reach, ultimately, to industrial applications of these reactions; if the President of the Council of Ministers intends to meet researchers mentioned in the introduction, the presence of the holder of the Ministry of Economic Development and head of the department of legislation, in order to identify institutional paths acts to faster achievement of the stated objectives.
