Sergio Focardi in Remembrance

Physicist Sergio Focardi of University of Bologna has crossed over.

He was part of an early group that included Fracesco Piantelli and Roberto Habel who pioneered the generation of excess heat from Flesichmann-Pons cells using light-water and the metal nickel.

He inspired and worked closely with Andrea Rossi on the design of the Energy Catalyzer, or E-Cat, a thermal generator that operates from nickel powders and light-hydrogen gas.

Today on the Journal of Nuclear Physics website, Rossi wrote of Focardi’s passing:

SERGIO FOCARDI, PROF. EMERITUS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF BOLOGNA, IS DEAD. I RECEIVED THE NEW FROM ITALY TODAY AT 3 A.M., USA EASTERN TIME, FEW MINUTES AGO.

We all have lost one of the greatest scientists in the field of the LENR.

For me he has been a tremendous ally, he helped our work enormously and the safety certifications that we are obtaining are the fruit of his consulting during the last 7 years. For me he has been also a teacher for Physics and Mathematics, anytime I needed his help in these matters to better understand the theory behind the effect of the E-Cat.

He has always worked with us with total, absolute and disinterested attitude, thinking only the the interest of the Science behind the LENR.

All the newspapers of the scientific world will say what he has been in the Scientific and University world and his enormous legacy: he has been Professor of Physics, Mathematic, he has been the Dean of the Scientific Faculties of the Alma Mater University of Bologna and the founder of the Cesena branch of the University of Bologna. His pubilcations in the fields of Mathematics and Physics are monumental.

Now, after a long period of illness, that obviously all his friends have taken secret to respect his privacy, he ceased to suffer and starts a new duty for God under anothe form of life. I am sure he will continue to look after my work from where he is now.

See you soon, my great Friend and Master Sergio! I will never forget our work together and that day in the Brasimone Nuclear facility.

Yours Andrea Rossi

    We are just now discovering
    That which has always been

    Impatiently awaiting us
    Craving our keen attention
    Hoping for deeper understanding

    Awesome is
    The wonder of discovery

    1. Excellent idea. I raise my glass salutations! Grateful all those with courage, and curiosity, who worked for this new world we’ll soon see all around us.

      1. P.S.
        IR stretching of the H-Ni bond might cause the following reaction to take place.

        H(1)~~Ni(n)~~H(1) > Cu*~~H(1) > Zn* > Ni(n-2) + He (no gamma rays).

        See the 6 minute mark to see how infrared light would cause the H-Ni bond to oscillate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPmf_JylLQ0

  4. Nice piece Ruby. I am glad to see he got to see his work progress this far. I would surmise he knew much better than us the state of the art at the time of his passing and hopefully he went with a sense that his work was done here.

    RIP Sergio Focardi
