A) SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH |
Ideological foreword (3) |
The studies, researches, the observations related to natural lightnings cannot be of the experimental traditional
type, for the practical impossibility, in any case for the extreme
difficulty, in recreating into the laboratory all the factors and in second instance of keeping track of all the parameters that concur to prime and determine natural
lightnings; but they necessarily must be of the "explorational" type and the classification of data, as
consequence, of "epidemiological" type that is of an historical-statistical type over a proper number of plants especially in areas of high keraunic danger and/or where natural lightning attracting systems have previously
failed, and for a proper period of time. |
(*) Electrostatic phenomenon |
An electrostatic discharge can be rigorously and ideally obtained ex.: by gradually increasing the voltage between the condenser armatures to the extent of the collapse of insulating
dielectric, with increments of infinitesimal intensity and infinite
durations, in reality with increments of very small intensity and very large
duration, in other words very slowly increasing the voltage between the armature of the condenser and strictly producing not a static discharge but a parastatic one. |
FULMINOLOGIA |
NOTES ON SCIENTIFIC FUNDAMENTALS AND ITS FINALITIES |
Fulminologia is the science that studies keraunic phenomena (their causes and
effects), the electromagnetic superenergies accumulate in singular
points, the protection from them and what concerns the balance of the electric and magnetic fields existing in nature (M. De Bernardi
discoveries). |

I.S.F. LIGHTNING STATION (4) |
The I.S.F. Lightning Station was planned and created by Prof. Ing. Mario De Bernardi, Fulminologo, in 1974 - Updated by him in May 1988, is located over the Campo dei Fiori Massif, Punta Paradiso - elevation 1226 m above sea level, Varese-Italy, in the Citadel of Nature Sciences founded by Prof. Salvatore Furia. |
The Station allows the accomplishment two principal investigation: |
|
The Station in addition guarantees, since its origin in 1974, the safety, absolute protection, 100%, of the Citadel of Nature Sciences and the several service emplacements of other public institutions there co-located from any keraunic danger, direct and indirect, and from local electromagnetic pollution. |
The Citadel of Nature Sciences under the aegis of the University of Pavia, of the Province and Municipality of Varese includes the following Institutions: |
The Astronomic Popular observatory "G.V. Schiaparelli"; |

LABORATORY COMPARATIVE TESTS: ideological foreword and application models |
M. De Bernardi Researches, I.S.F. codified |
Ideological foreword (5) |
The I.S.F. comparative tests, are tests that simulate within the limits of technical possibilities and based on a thorough extended long experience in nature by Mario De Bernardi, natural lightnings in their extreme variety, in other word it cannot take the laboratory into nature, but, as much as possible, nature into the laboratory, they are not a coercion over the nature, but in harmony with the nature. |
I.S.F. comparative laboratory tests: synthesis of previous experiments carried out under natural lightnings; taken back into the laboratory certain scale parameters relative to observed effects, have demonstrated and demonstrate: |
- the deviating interpretation of the keraunic phenomenon caused by a superficial and very partial observation of the natural phenomenon(*); this denotes the inability of Benjamin Franklin followers to recognize the essential lines; |
(*) in fact following investigations of the macroscopic phase of the phenomenon that, thanks to M.D.B. discoveries, today indicates that same is the final phase of a series of electrodynamic phenomena. |
Note: since 1752, year of B. Franklin first studies in the field of electrophysics and until today, with the exception of M. De Bernardi discoveries that started in1947, the phenomenon (really only its final phase) has improperly been considered electrostatic: condenser cloud-ground; discharge of the condenser; stationary field; high tensions; low frequencies (electrotechnic isolation field) and has been improperly and forcibly located in the physic laws of electrostatics. |
Have demonstrated and demonstrate: |
- the improper and deviating derived method of "protection", exclusively nominal (as determined on hypothesis not validated by experience in nature, that is lacking scientific foundation) based on irrational concept of "lightning capture with ground discharge"; |
- the non suitability in protection and the hazard of the means so called capture means - really lightning attractors: Franklin rods, Faraday cages, radioactive rods, lightning tele-attractors, guard cables, etc. |
On the contrary have demonstrated and demonstrate: |
the correct interpretation of the complex of keraunic phenomena due to a thorough and complete observation of natural phenomena that denotes the capability of researcher M. De Bernardi to pick the essential lines. |
Note: from 1947, therefore starting from the first fundamental discoveries of Mario De Bernardi in the field of lightnings till the first years of 1960, the keraunic phenomena (and their causes and effects) atmospheric electric discharges and terrestrial (lightnings and super lightnings), electro-inductions, radio interference globular lightnings, M.D.B. electromagnetic superenergies accumulated in singular points have been studied in their electrodynamic reality: Geotriode M.D.B.; rapidly varying electric and magnetic fields; high tensions; frequency range: VLF ÷ γ ray ÷ any frequency regardless of how high; and are the fundamentals of Fulminologia, new science founded by Mario De Bernardi. |
Have demonstrated and demonstrate: |
- the correct real method of protection, Antimpatto® M.D.B., validated by experience in nature therefore scientific based on the principle of preventing lightning formation: |
-umbrella protection - Antimpatto® lightning
preventor; |
- the capability of the advanced Antimpatto M.D.B. means of protection from atmospheric and terrestrial electric discharges, direct and indirect (lightnings and super lightnings), electro-inductions, radio-interferences, globular lightnings, M.D.B. electromagnetic superenergies accumulated in singular points. |

C) PRE-NORMATION AND NORMATION |
I.S.F. 85/1 NORMS FOREWORD STATEMENT |
I.S.F norms justify their existence from the present state of the art on matters of Fulminologia achieved thanks to the discoveries, principles, theories and methodologies of scientist Mario De Bernardi and by the unjustified lack of norms at national and international level. State of the art achieved through a strict scientific observation of the lightning phenomena seen in the context of De Bernardi Geotriode global system and the systematic study of events, habitats, natural bodies and structures, the latter intrinsically able to prevent the formation or evolution of the lightning. |
Significantly, since the origins, man consciously or
not, has built dwellings recreating, just so, the morphological characteristics of those habitats and natural
bodies. |
Careful observation of the lightning phenomena linked to the dynamics of the atmospheric and terrestrial electric fields and their evolution in thunderstorm
conditions, the successful outcome of preliminary experiments and the over thirty years
(1947-1985)(*) success of several ten thousand Antimpatto® lightning preventor
plants which always have assured safety, absolute protection, 100%, in zones of
high keraunic dangerousness and chiefly where they replaced the conventional
plants -lightnings attractors- which had systematically and repeatedly failed (historical-statistic
proof), have convinced I.S.F. researchers and technicians that lightnings are not inevitable
phenomena. |
By preventing the lightning formation and therefore its consequent manipulation, in effects it is automatically eliminate the danger to persons and things in the area of the protect volume, since the possibility for the keraunic event to occur in presence of the Antimpatto® protection coincide with that relative to the occurrence of events classifiable as "CATASTROPHIC EVENTS". |
It therefore results undisputable that a plant conceived and created to I.S.F. norms guarantees the
safety, absolute protection, 100%, consequently permitting a drastic reduction of the
COST/SAFETY ratio. |
a) re-establishing the normal electric and electrochemical environmental balance |
b) emitting an intense and healthy electronic wind (that may be amplified) capable of dissipating atmospheric polluting clouds (dusts, particles, gas, ions) that stagnate over our cities; and to operate as an ozone generator at high altitudes. |
The wrong interpretation or the negligent omission of the prescriptions contained in norms I.S.F. 85/1 may determine the arise for danger of damages by lightnings and all others correlated phenomena above citated. |
