Christos Stremmenos talks about work done with Focardi on Ni-H.

*very interesting*
On Passerini's 22passi blog people are organizing a group work to
transcribe that interview in italian. A human translation in English
will probably follow:

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.
