Working at times in collaboration with Sergio Focardi, he reported experiments in which nickel samples exposed to hydrogen produced excess heat, including a widely recounted 1993 run in which an apparatus reached temperatures said to have exceeded 1400 °C before being stabilised. He attributed key results to the preparation of the nickel surface at the nano-scale.<br /> <br /> Piantelli&#039;s nickel-hydrogen approach is often cited as a precursor to later devices, and he pursued patents on his reactor concept. His claims of anomalous heat fall within the field of cold fusion / LENR, which remains outside the accepted scientific mainstream and is not recognised by most of the physics community. Alongside this work, his career centred on biophysics and biomedical research.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://newenergytimes.com/v2/news/2011/36/3624rf-piantelli.shtml New Energy Times: Francesco Piantelli]<br /> * [http://fusionfroide.ch/fusion-froide-le-reacteur-de-piantelli-obtient-le-brevet Report on Piantelli&#039;s reactor patent (in French)]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scientist|Piantelli Francesco]]<br /> [[Category:Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]</div>
