From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sergio Focardi (1932 – 22 June 2013) was an Italian
physicist and
professor
emeritus at the
University of Bologna .
[1]
[2]
[3]
He led the Department of Bologna of the
(Italian) National Institute for Nuclear Physics
[4]
[5] and the
Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences at the
University of Bologna .
[6]
[7]
In the early 1960s Focardi spent time at
CERN
[8] in
Geneva .
He was a member of the President's Board of the
Italian Physical Society .
[9]
From 1992 he had been working on
cold fusion with
nickel -
hydrogen reactors.
[10] From 2007 until his death, Focardi collaborated with inventor
Andrea Rossi on the development of the
Energy Catalyzer (E-Cat).

In the early 90s Sergio Focardi, together with physicists Roberto Habel and
Francesco Piantelli , started to develop a nickel-hydrogen exothermal reactor. The results of their research were presented in 1994,
[16]
[17] and published on the
peer-reviewed
scientific journal
Il Nuovo Cimento A .
