LENR-Cities conference in Oxford on 10-11th of January 2015...

As told recently by Steven B Krivit and confirmed by Michel Vandenberghe, LENR-Cities prepares an event in Oxford University.
This thread is a placeholder to discuss on that.

The preliminary information are on http://lenr-cities.com/oxf/
and slowly there are precision.

The agenda of the conference is clearly around LENR-Cities proposal, and "is bringing together people from three worlds: scientists, industrialists and investors.".

The organizer are "Scientists of our Ecosystem and the LENR-Cities Team.".Not the industrialists.

The preliminary list of speaker contains :

• LENR-Cities team with founder Michel Vandenberghe, Didier Pelluet, and
• The LENR-Cities "Reference Lab" coordinator, Angelo Ovidi, who is also founder of Kresenn.
• Luca Gamberale, who worked since long with Giuliano Preparata (one of the early giant of cold fusion), and who is known recently to have denounced the "mispractice" of Defkalion during ICCF18 demo in Milan , when launching a partnership.
• Paolo Tripodi is an entrepreneur scientist known for his work on hydride superconduction research, who founded 4 technology companies, and who is CSO of the start-up he founded in 2011: IS Tech.
• Yogi Srivastava and Allan Widom, physicists of Northeastern University , founders of Clean Nuclear Power LLC company in Lugano. Allan Widom is the father of the Electro-Weak nuclear reaction theory.
• John Swain, physicist of Northeastern University (Like Yogi and Allan), who wrote few articles with Allan and Yogi.
• "Airbus Group"... A representative, as was told by Michel in our last talk.

You will notice that among the partners there is Kresenn, and Northeastern University, which from the name above is not a surprise...

Few speakers seems not to be named, more details missing on the place and schedule...

Things start to be really serious...

Some new information in LENR-Cities sites.

A new Speaker is Listed : Giacomo D'Agostaro.
It seems to be a scientist of ENEA working on Biotechnologies.
Anyway he is not stranger to LENR, as for example he is one of the co author of Francesco Celani, "EVIDENCE OF ANOMALOUS TRITIUM EXCESS IN D/Pd OVERLOADING EXPERIMENTS", for what seems to be research and expertise around biological LENR.

Another novelty is the definitions of the scientific topics to be discussed :

• Superconductivity at high temperatures.
• Novel hydrogenated nano-materials producing heat anomalies or able to do waste heat to electricity conversion.
• Hydrogen energy, clean cheap hydrogen production and water splitting.
• Electro-Weak nuclear reactions for small batteries.
• Nuclear transmutations and nuclear waste management.
• Bio-remediation of radionuclide-contaminated waters.

As we see, LENR is far from only heat and E-cat style of reactor. It is something that have a potential to revolution electronics, energy conversion and storage, nuclear remediation, and maybe a new landscape of nuclear chemistry and biochemistry

About Giacomo D'Agostaro he is cited in that History of Cold Fusion in Italy

page 121

It is a report of amazing biologicat transmutation done by radiophilic bacteria

Detection of a new bacterium into D2O
In the 1999-2000 period, the application of such technique to heavy water did not produce the expected results.

In particular, we observed that Hg seemed to "disappear" from the electrolytic solution and what is more the presence of a smell very similar to that of yoghurt was ever increasing (sic!).

In sum, I hypothesized that heavy water might contain some bacteria which could not proliferate under the usual electrolytic conditions of Cold Fusion (pH=13—14, due to LiOD 0.1-1M). Instead this was possible under our conditions with moderate salt concentration and pH=4, which favored the development of living forms (Pub. 25).

After a set of complex analyses, we actually evidenced the presence of at least 2 new bacteria. They have been identified by Dr. Giacomo D’Agostaro (microbilogist working at ENEA-Casaccia) as 2 new species and recorded into the specific biology data-bank (Pub. 29, 30): they have been assigned the names of Ralstonia detusculanense and Stenotrophomonas detusculanense. The prefix de comes from deuterium and tusculanense is in honour of the site it was found in, that is Tusculum (the original Latin name of Frascati).

The apparent disappearance of Hg from the electrolytic solution has been subsequently explained by the fact that one of the two new bacteria (Ralstonia) has the unusual ability to metabolize even the salts of some heavy metals (therefore Hg as well), that is to say it has chemiolitotrophic characteristics. Later, driven by the mere spirit of research (as the acronym INFN contains the final N standing for "...Nuclear") we tested its behaviour with Uranium too: it did "metabolize" it up to the considerable concentration of 10mM.

The finding of the 2 new bacteria was reported on the review Le Scienze (Italian edition) published as scientific supplement to some large diffusion newspapers (Il Sole 24 Ore, Il Giornale).

Vessy on her blog published an article on ICCF19
http://www.ecat-thenewfire.com…ccf-19-padua-13-17-april/

one key quote is by TSEM CEO about the purpose of ICCF this year :

Quote

The purpose of ICCF-19 will be to discuss recent scientific findings as well as to encourage a more general public interest, encouraging a better understanding of the significance of this research and how it will impact society

wider than usual...

A new speaker apeared on LENR-Cities conference page :
Dr P Neal Graneau of University of Oxford.
He is presented as working on "New Energy", interested in newtonian physics, Mach Principle, Water arcing
as i understand he pursued the work of Peter Granneau on Newtonian physics and water arcing.

"Le régional de l'étape" as we say in french Tour de France.
