In the field of solar energy the Archimedes project proposed by Carlo Rubbia, Nobel deserved more considerazione.Una all Italian technology has already been tried is the "Solar Power", the so-called Archimedes project, designed by Carlo Rubbia, Nobel, taking up what has been achieved in California 20 years ago but with little success because these solar power output of 350 MWe for use as "Temperature ATA" mineral oil, inflammable material, which limits the temperature of only 390 degrees, Rubbia has replaced the oil with simple fertilizers used in agriculture, salt "sodium nitrate and potassium" time, the system is completely ecological limits to temperature since these salts-flammable and can reach 550 degrees, allowing temperature to integrate the system with a tower system for the accumulation of thermal energy so as to produce energy power even in the absence of sunlight and at night. In addition, the project includes improving the materials in the future to bring the operating temperature to 850 degrees so as to be able to produce hydrogen, which was one solar power plant that produces electricity and fuel for future cars, zero-waste pollution, emissions in 'zero-time atmosphere of outputs and went into production three years (without hydrogen production for now). It 'been tested 550 sqm of the project by using parabolic mirrors at the ENEA Research Center Casaccia, there is an identified site area of \u200b\u200b40 ha in which 200,000 square meters of parabolic mirrors installed at the plant in Priolo Enel, Enel project partners the same , predicted annual production: Thermal Energy 179 GWh / a, Electricity 59 GWh / a, basically a power station by about 20 MWe, enough to power about 6,500 households that is 25,000 people, and in addition there is a good chance that in the future using the same system is able to produce hydrogen, planned spending of € 50,000,000, the cost of a player. Finally last but not least after cutting the ribbon to start the work, he stopped everything Priolo the € 50 million are still in the drawers of the Ministry (hopefully), Carlo Rubbia, ENEA is no longer president, it seems sick of waiting for the funding is gone in spite of Spain where the construction of power plants Solari are expanding even though so far with old technology to mineral oil and the Spaniards have thought well to hire Carlo Rubbia, if we compare the investments made, more than 20 years ago, the California equal to 20 times the expected in Priolo are left words.
