it seems to be a Mizuno, but very few details... does anyone have better data? ------------------- At 13 reproduce the cold fusion The experiment of three boys in the garage of the home of one of them: "No minor he had succeeded" Pistoia also has its own "via Panisperna boys."Matthew and Ivan are Matteini Perrella, with the collaboration of Julia Ricciardi. Compared to Fermi, Amaldi, Majorana and other eminent physicists, very young, in the thirties of the last century realized in the laboratory, the first nuclear reactor, physicists Pistoia are still young, very young indeed.They have 13 years old and attending the 3rd Q of the school Marconi Via Puccini. Early last month have carried out an experiment in the garage at home, they say confidently documented, "the only juvenile in the world to have succeeded."This is the cold fusion. The cold nuclear fusion, advocated for decades by scientists not only because it would allow to produce nuclear energy without producing temibilissime slag, is a generic name given to the alleged nature of nuclear reactions, which would occur at pressures and temperatures much lower than those needed for obtain nuclear fusion "hot", for which are instead necessary temperatures of the order of one million kelvin and plasma density very high. Many scientists are skeptical: to date, the very existence of these phenomena has not been demonstrated conclusively, on the contrary to the prevailing opinion in the scientific community is that all the evidence proposed to be due to measurement errors or non-nuclear phenomena. The fact is that the boys have done the experiment Pistoia, reproducing, as they called the same guys they shot a video on Youtube, "a star in a jar.""Thanks to my father, an engineer in 'electronic company - says Matthew, who loves physics and experiments since piccolossimo, while Ivan is the computer of the group - and Julius Nesti who supported us in logistics, we could set up the garage at home mine with all the necessary equipment: voltmeter, ammeter, herzometro and what you need to succeed. A basic table for discharge to the ground, otherwise it ran the risk of being electrocuted terrible, or burned by temperatures in the range of 3-4000 degrees or, again, it exploded all over. "The experiment, which took place on January 3, eventually succeeded after twenty black smoke. "The whole thing lasted about half an hour, no more and left us amazed, as well as very satisfied." The first practical and tangible result of the "fusion" describe the boys: "We have produced a soapy liquid that does not produce any toxin and we washed their hands." An effect of the experiment, tell Matthew and others, was to be put out of televisions and mobile phones due to the strong electromagnetic field. At school, classmates and teachers are proud of their young scientists, but would point out the teacher of astronomy, "they did it all by yourself." Francis Albonetti
