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][6] and the Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences at the University of Bologna.[7][8] 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] Since 2007 Focardi and inventor Andrea Rossi had been collaborating on developing the Energy Catalyzer or E-Cat.[11][12][13][14][15]

Studies on nickel-hydrogen exothermal systems

Diagram of the reactor devised by Focardi et al.[16]

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 was presented in 1994,[17][18] and published on the peer-reviewed scientific journal Il Nuovo Cimento A.[19][20][21][22][23]
