Eugene Franklin Mallove (June 9, 1947 – May 14, 2004) was an American scientist, engineer, science writer, editor and publisher who was a prominent and tireless advocate of cold fusion, new energy and alternative energy research. He was the founder and Editor-in-Chief of the bi-monthly journal Infinite Energy and the founder and President of the New Energy Foundation. Holding degrees from MIT and Harvard University, Mallove was a widely published author and journalist who became one of the most visible defenders of cold fusion research following its controversial 1989 announcement.

Biography

Education

Mallove was born on June 9, 1947, in Norwich, Connecticut, and grew up there, graduating from the Norwich Free Academy in 1965. He earned an ScB (1969) and ScM (1970) in aeronautical and astronautical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and an ScD (1975) in environmental health sciences from Harvard University.

Career

Mallove served as Chief Science Writer for the MIT News Office from 1987 to 1991. From 1988 to 1990 he was also an Adjunct Professor at the Boston University College (School) of Communication, and he later taught science journalism and worked as a science writer for Voice of America. A leading scientist, engineer and communicator, he was an intimate collaborator of Paulo and Alexandra Correa and, in later years, a leading advocate of Aetherometric Science and Technology, an active member of ABRI (in charge of Demonstration Devices and Educational Materials) and the ISFA Organizing Committee, a co-inventor of the HYBORAC technology and the main evaluator of ABRI technologies, as well as its first sponsor. Together with Uri Soudak, during the last four years of his life he was a leading negotiator and representative of the Correas and in personal charge of the Aethera joint effort. While Mallove was alive, the Correas published extensively, at his invitation, in Infinite Energy.

Mallove was the author of The Quickening Universe: Cosmic Evolution and Human Destiny (1987), The Starflight Handbook (1989, with Gregory Matloff) and Fire from Ice: Searching for the Truth Behind the Cold Fusion Furor (1991).

Cold fusion advocacy

Mallove resigned from his position at the MIT News Office in 1991 after alleging that MIT had suppressed and misrepresented data relating to so-called cold fusion, charging that a scientific fraud surrounded the institution's handling of the results. His 1991 book Fire from Ice documented the 1989 report of tabletop cold fusion by Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann at the University of Utah and defended the phenomenon against its critics.

In 1995 he founded Infinite Energy magazine, which he edited as Editor-in-Chief, and he established the nonprofit New Energy Foundation to support research into cold fusion, low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR) and related alternative energy topics. He remained one of the field's most outspoken proponents until his death.

Death

Mallove was killed on May 14, 2004, in Norwich, Connecticut, while cleaning a recently vacated rental property owned by his parents, the home in which he had grown up. Although the nature of his work led to some conspiracy theories about the homicide, police attributed the killing to a robbery and dispute connected to the property's tenants. Chad Schaffer pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in the case, and Mozelle Brown was convicted of the murder in October 2014 and sentenced in January 2015 to 58 years in prison.
