The massive use of fossil fuels to produce electricity keeps the world a slave to a condition where energy is scarce, polluting and expensive. Are there other kinds of energy in nature so abundant that they can be considered unlimited and, above all, clean and at very low cost? Is "Free Energy" just an unattainable dream or are there scientific bases that support its possible existence? Perhaps one day there will be an open and transparent debate ... ... but we can do something right away if we remember that today 15% of the world population does not yet have access to electricity. This means, out of a population of seven and a half billion, more than a billion people cannot even light a light bulb or charge a cell phone. I did a long experiment on the Volta pile which was discovered 200 years ago.The use of the pile finds an insurmountable limit in its limited duration in time because as soon as the battery starts to work, through the combined effect of the two metals (copper and zinc) and of the salt water, the chemical reaction develops hydrogen in gaseous form that coats the copper electrode, polarizing it, that is, increasing the electrical resistance of the battery and reducing much the current delivered in a few minutes.What a simpler solution to remove hydrogen while forming through mechanical agitation? The undulating motions and the currents of the sea with their continuous movement will make this action. The installation carried out in 2013 at the Biennale Pria in Biella with a crown of 18 cups keeps LEDs constantly lit for a long time..Since this energy is enclosed in the enormous volumes of the sea we cannot expect energy density values comparable to those of combustion processes. Therefore its applications is interesting in areas where there is no availability of electricity In the world the length of the coasts is 700,000 km of which half is in America and 1/3 in Asia. This energy is available 24h / 7 days unlike renewable ones that are not. The work for sale is a conceptual work created in memory of the above event

What am I? People who know me and my works say “you are a scientist lent to Art”. Frankly speaking I believe that is ok. Scientists and Artists have many common characters. Since ancient times both want to find out how the world is made. Scientists use an intuitive model analogous to the artists. It feeds on analogies, metaphors, images and experiments.But they use also an analytical model based on the rigid application of a formal logic, which leaves little room for intuition, which is naturally the engine of artistic creativity. I was very impressed by coincidence with which a young scientist (Einstein) and a young artist (Picasso) at the same age of 26 years had caught, together, almost in unison, the "spirit of the times", breaking the barriers of physics and painting respectively in the same time without knowing each other and without knowing the work of the other. Today the Communication of Science cannot disregard Art. Now relevant decisions in Science are taken in partnership between scientists and a series of public of non-experts.We have moved from a world in which Science and Society were substantially separated, to a world in which Science and Society are strongly interpenetrated. The Science communication is no longer only the communication between scientists and must involve the audience of non experts. We all, in one way or another, are called to make important decisions on scientific topics, the most varied: from stem cells and cloning, to the changing climate and to the control of new weapons of mass destruction, to energy , to waste, to electromagnetic pollution, etc.).In summary, a fully democratic society today is a society that has great awareness of the scientific issues and of the communication processes that concern them. Art is one of the main tools chosen by man to interpret reality and to communicate and must become one of the main channels through which "scientific speculations" spread. When I moved to South Carolina (USA) in the early 90s, it helped a lot to learn that in Cambridge, near Boston, nearby the MIT (Massachusets Institute of Technology) the “American Academy of Science and Art” was founded at the end of 18th century, with the declared goal of "cultivating every Art and Science that could tend to increase interest, the honor, dignity and happiness of free, independent and virtuous people”.
