well be heaven I’m happy now I would like

know something from all of you how many

steps you have taken to get here

Well, there are those who have traveled thousands of

kilometres

who even started a day ago e

who instead is yes we must say that

this lucky one had an alarm clock

this morning at 8 o’clock crossed the city

or piazza de ferrari here behind and now it is

here in front of what matters is that there

you are set out to come today

here other texs of genoa and I now there

I ask since you started up

now

how many steps have you taken

how many here I see yellows at the bottom that

both taking out the cellphone for

be amazed by the exact number of steps

frequency to kilometers traveled dress

his app just a day but it’s okay

same

what matters is that it is that number

shown on the display

it is not a simple number is energy

pure

ok is indeed the energy that you

you have employed to come here and it is

a clean and green and lasting energy

look at me are the nice ones that you

I suggest that I would call it a source of

renewable energy as you say as the

exact sun just like the sun i

Our steps are energy

we ourselves are energy, perhaps we are not

facts of the same substance as the stars

it is good and after many and many steps e

even in the many paths from my beloved

island prevent up to here

here we are, in the hall of screams, a hall a

ricadi history illuminated by those

spotlight

you can hear my voice thanks to

here you speakers and I speak to you from

this microphone but sorry for a moment

123456789

but a moment that feeds all this

instrumentation

sure if he discovered it but in this

moment we could not be so much

pleased

today, in fact, most of it

energy comes from sources

fuels or oil and coal

think to make a kilowatt hour of

energy power plants spit

in the air 410 grams of co2

of the carbon union

now as I am an engineer a little nerd

I tell you that it is a molecule of co2

it weighs so much to understand it we do together

a perfect living experiment then

we consider a solid a cube a cube

one cubic meter perfect inside

we put a bag of black sand that

it weighs about two kilos

what we just did and

build the model that represents the

density of the co2 which is equal to

1.98 kg per cubic meter guys is a fact

that your face is so scared

It seems like you’re telling me alessio but

excuse me for a moment there is an engineer for

nothing but since the co2

weighs since the air has a weight

strange, true and I tell you that only

reasoning in terms of large numbers

we can understand what the weight of the

co2 and the damage it brings to the world

that surrounds us

now I state that I do not want to be the

professor bacchettone that makes you the

Lesson on co2

we all know indeed very well as one

increase in co2 and lead to an increase

of the dissolution temperature of the

glaciers therefore stable conditions

all over the world and repercussions at the level

global

we all know this then gods

damage

acknowledge this event 13 July 2014

final of the disputed soccer World Cup

in brazil final score 1 to 0 for the

Germany counts Argentina you have it

view this game true that the view

I saw the courage on my hands

this match

a lot of people saw it in the world

over a billion viewers

witnessed this event

what however not everyone knows is that

this match led to

an emission of co2 into the atmosphere of

150,000 tons or 150 million

kg of co2

so several of those little bags of

stabia in that we just mentioned

Wow, I can not even take it easy

an hour and a half war a match that

produce co2 as well there must be one

solution to get out of this impasse

wow but stop all but we do not have

said before our steps only

power

here is the solution our steps was

right under our feet use

an alternative source unthinkable as i

our steps to produce energy

clean electric

that’s how he felt like a prometeo after that

he stole the fire from the gods to give it

we humans are the solution

but now we must understand how to find one

system that allows us therefore to

harness this clean energy then

take it out of our steps and channel it

use it for what we like best

make a floor or floor found

smart formed by tiles

intelligent that transform each of ours

step into clean energy

here is our contribution to solve

the increase in the energy needs of the

world and to reduce co2 to one

simple smart tile everything

here

now though we are in the fall

forwarded in yes a little to do

freschetto I would like to invite you put one

jacket to take a ride on mine

delorian parked water outside

led by my friend Professor Brown

and we take a journey through time up

until March 21st 2017

spring begins and is true

awakening of nature awakening of the

life

the ice melt the vegetation

returns to bloom and a warm wind of

change envelops everything and makes us

forget the cold that is coming

of you certainly understood from mine

accent what are my origins and of

this tile that produces energy e

well we both come from Sardinia

a land that has remained for most

part being wild and uncontaminated is

as you can see green and green

if you want to find me in my city that

it is right under the gulf of angels

has cagliari immediately you will make it

account for something you can admire

expanses of wind fields and panels

photovoltaic panels that produce energy

clean green energy you look at me

to say that it is in the Sardinians we have the

renewable in the blood well in this

earth kissed by the sun and by the sea where

excuse me if I tell you but it’s always

spring is too good

this clever tile arises that

represents all the desire we have

today we young people to take flight

look up and push us to the right

beyond all limits

well this spring of which I have you

just talked and in fact she is this

tile now no back engineer then

I have to give a proper name to things

so this spring is one

technology, a technology that is underneath

the tiles on which all

we walk to go to the university

to go to the post office even to eat

an ice cream here in piazza de ferrari e

every step we take thanks to her comes

turned into energy

alessio sorry for a moment but that

devilry if going to tell al

ted what arrest you what

allows a simple box of

produce dry energy

and therefore to become magical is that

physical property called

piezoelectricity piezoelectricity

electricity now who among you has done e

he is doing classical studies can to this

point to boast with the girl sitting

next I invite you to do it to know

the etymological meaning of the word

and I must say that

we speak as an engineer and I have a high school fract

classic this time the notorious greek

finally he comes to help us

piezoelectricity in fact derives from

Greek ps which means to press while

electricity electricity

we all know what no electricity is

let’s join the two words is boom we find ourselves

in 1880 the curious brothers’ workshop

pr and jack the first that studying the

quartz discover an effect

in fact, piezoelectric returns to notice it

like crushing this material that

then the quartz the first piezoelectric

of history to notice it like this

He responds to a current in accordance with

precisely energy

so here is the piezoelectricity

allows her to transform ours

steps into clean energy is nice

this clean and lasting energy

the source that generates it as now

we understand it is the most renewable

that exists on the face of this earth

and so are our steps

now you understand why I was pressing first

so much to know how many steps indicated the

your pedometer right now

let’s recap or as the Romans said

repetita iuvant

so our little tile mischino for

always call a lot in the we give it to you

a name to this tile then

represents the first true within a

elastic spring components I would say

that you hurry push is fine spring in

English means in fact both spring

that spring therefore is a perfect name

talking to our dear friend well

promoted rather baptized spring and then

our spring is a technology

totally integrable in the

traditional flooring is it

ceramic linoleum carpet or parquet and

transforms our every step into

electricity in energy by effect

piezoelectric its own structure e

friend of the environment

spring is indeed made with

recycled materials that not only

reduce the co2 hands bring down the cost

of production and therefore also the cost the

price to the final customer

spring is a low-impact technology

environmental almost nil and is precisely one

thick box a few cm 43 dimensions

of 30 x 30 cm and has a surface on the

which I fix the traditional floor

that can get lowered by 2 mm

if he walks on it and transmits it

pressure to the electric lace that stands

inside every spring step releases 2

watt of power while the energy of the

accumulated in battery

now that beautiful category as I could

could we enjoy the spring I

I personally love listening to music is

if there was a way to recharge a thousand

plots p3 without having to always stay in

home to look for the plug to attach me to

reloading would make me comfortable that to

end will benefit from you will be able to employ

the energy produced as best it believes for

example to illuminate a square for

recharge phones that are always

drains to power a wifi modem

so that you have internet throughout

our city ​​and also to feed

these screens to give information

obviously to those passing by

push will be installed in a manner

very easy thanks to its small ones

dimensions or on the screed or directly

on the traditional floor and on it

I can put as in this case of the

ceramics in this way

let’s see spring invisible and can therefore

be installed in a square at

historical center without defacing the

landscape or change town planning

the first is below is smart respect

to others perfect spring also can

be installed then as I said

we have now understood the places a lot

crowded like a square a center

commercial an airport since more

people there are and more energy than

this magic box can come out

think with only 20 steps spring can

turn on the lamps with led lights

and if we put her in piazza de ferrari

with all the citizens who pass by

all day in the evening we could

eliminate with the same square and in

this way the municipality of genova could

have a saving on the associated costs

to lighting and also reduce co2

in a shopping center instead pushes

can open and close the doors

sliding now what comes to me from

suggest today’s high rics here to giovan

here in genova sorry, it is simply about

be aware of something then with i

your steps

you can go everywhere and every one of you

step remember well to energy

we alone turn on a light but in

thousands we can illuminate a square

a very nice thing this

now I tell you a secret there was a nice one

secret wherever mine always goes

steps

but to know how many steps are

arrived so far this is the number

now I’ll be an engineer but he manages a bit

difficult to read veil read

happy to have you knew how to do it

I think mary poppins and his cellino

are the only ones who can read the

number with a supercalifragilistic to in

half though I can not do it

so if you want to remember today

of me as the speaker of the steps of the

billions of billions of millions of passes per

I’m fine, in fact I’ll go very proud of it

one thing for me that you like you must

know the steps and I’m sure many

of you as soon as I get out of here they will start

counting steps and I already imagine myself here

walking in the road that contacts them and

14 15 16 17 18 19 and 20 ok on or off

123 shooting count

and that’s how it must be then

remember the steps the steps are what

allow a city to change the

face to give him energy the steps are the

future and now I would like to know something

from you we see if you followed me up

at this point you have observed me and

you are therefore good observers

how many steps have I done on this

appeal of the red

It puts its product by the courage I

Thank you

d hi

too good thanks

[Applause]
