Eugene Franklin Mallove (June 9, 1947 – May 14, 2004) was an American scientist, science writer, editor, and publisher of ''Infinite Energy'' magazine, and founder of the non-profit organization New Energy Foundation. He was a strong proponent of cold fusion, and a supporter of its research and related exploratory alternative energy topics, several of which are sometimes characterised as "fringe science". Mallove authored ''Fire from Ice'', a book detailing the 1989 report of table-top cold fusion from Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann at the University of Utah. Among other things, the book advances a conspiracy theory, claiming that the team did produce "greater-than-unity" output energy in an experiment successfully replicated on several occasions, but that the results were suppressed through an organized campaign of ridicule from mainstream physicists, including those studying controlled thermonuclear fusion, trying to protect their research and funding. Mallove was murdered in 2004 while cleaning out his former childhood home, which had been rented out. Three people have been arrested and charged in connection with the killing. The first trial resulted in a guilty plea to manslaughter in April, 2012.〔 ==Biography== Eugene Mallove held a BS (1969) and MS degree (1970) in aeronautical and astronautical engineering from MIT and a ScD degree (1975) in environmental health sciences from Harvard University. He had worked for technology engineering firms such as Hughes Research Laboratories, the Analytic Science Corporation, and MIT's Lincoln Laboratory, and he consulted in research and development of new energies. In 1981, he and Gregory Matloff wrote a classic paper about using solar sails to reach Alpha Centauri, the nearest star to our sun. They calculated that the trip would take several hundred years and that the ship would have to withstand accelerations of 60 g.〔Gilster, 2004, p. 124; Matloff, 2005〕〔Matloff, 2005, p. (52 )〕 They wrote several papers on that and other proposed methods of space travel, such as laser propulsion, the Bussard ramjet,〔Matloff, 2005, p. (117 )〕 and exotic fuels that could give very high power.〔Matloff, 2005, p. (40 )〕 Mallove taught science journalism at MIT and Boston University and was chief science writer at MIT's news office, a position he left as part of a dispute with the school over cold fusion. He was a science writer and broadcaster with the Voice of America radio service and author of three science books: ''The Quickening Universe: Cosmic Evolution and Human Destiny'' (1987, St. Martin’s Press), ''The Starflight Handbook: A Pioneer’s Guide to Interstellar Travel'' (1989, John Wiley & Sons, with co-author Gregory Matloff), and ''Fire from Ice: Searching for the Truth Behind the Cold Fusion Furor'' (1991, John Wiley & Sons). He also published articles for numerous magazines and newspapers. Mallove was a member of the Aurora Biophysics Research Institute (ABRI), one of the founders of the International Society of the Friends of Aetherometry, a member of its Organizing Committee, a co-inventor of the HYBORAC〔(Report by Mallove ) on HYBORAC and other similar technologies.〕 technology and one of the main evaluators of ABRI〔(ABRI ) organizational website.〕 technologies. His alternative energy research included studying the reproduction of Wilhelm Reich's Orgone Motor by Dr. Paulo Correa and Alexandra Correa, as well as the evolution of heat in the Reich-Einstein experiment. He was among the scientists and engineers who claimed to have confirmed the output of excess electric energy from tuned pulsed plasmas in vacuum arc discharges. Mallove's combative stance against what he saw as the hypocrisy of mainstream science gave him a high profile. Among other things, he was a frequent guest on the American radio program ''Coast to Coast AM''. In 1992, Mallove was a consultant on the ERR (Electromagnetic Radiation Receiver) project at the Noah’s Ark Research Facility in the Philippines. He is also credited as a "cold fusion technical consultant", for providing advice to the producers of the movie ''The Saint'' from 1997, with a plot revolving around cold fusion formulas. Eugene Mallove was a notable proponent and supporter of research into cold fusion. He authored the book ''Fire from Ice'', which details the 1989 report of table-top cold fusion from Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann at the University of Utah.〔Fleischmann, M., S. Pons, and M. Hawkins, Electrochemically induced nuclear fusion of deuterium. J. Electroanal. Chem., 1989. 261: p. 301 and errata in Vol. 263.〕 The book claims the team did produce "greater-than-unity" output energy in an experiment that was successfully replicated on several occasions.〔Mallove, E. J. (1999).
