Eugene Mallove Killed in Property Dispute

Gene Mallove has passed on into eternity, and to his eternal credit will be remembered for courageously resigning from MIT, when he discovered that the cold fusion test experiment was deliberately sabotaged. Mallove singlehandedly became the standard-bearer for cold fusion advocates, maintaining the efficacy and reality of cold fusion among over-unity experimentors.

He will be remembered at MIT long after his detractors have died and been buried.  His memory will equal his legacy.

Breaking Through!

Cold Fusion Goes Commercial...

We knew all along it would happen...."cold fusion" would begin to be commercialized long before science fully came to grips with what the mysterious and extremely potent excess heat-generating process really is.

Remarkably, cold fusion is being commercialized even in the face of continued widespread, but obviously misguided skepticism that the phenomenon even exists! As former Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist Dr. Edmund Storms, now with Salt Lake City-based ENECO, has suggested, "We can thank the skeptics for allowing some of us the chance to become very rich." Clearly, if the U.S. Department of Energy evaluation of cold fusion in 1989 had been even 10% objective, and if threatened institutions had been open to the new discovery, in 1995 there would be precious little room in the field for small companies and entrepreneurs.

As it stands now, "cold fusion" and allied "new energy" technologies, in which energy appears to materialize perhaps literally from the vacuum quantum fluctuations of space or from subtle mass conversion to energy - are possibly the greatest commercial opportunities of this century. It is the quintessential entrepreneurial field, in which those "in the know" have an opportunity to reap vast rewards in a tidal wave of business activity. The entire energy infrastructure of advanced industrial civilization is at the brink of radical reconstruction as early-stage and prototype cold fusion systems emerge with great vigor.

Our "Infinite Energy" (IE) cover highlights the work of Dr. James Patterson and his robust cold fusion cell, which has the honor of having been granted the first U.S. Patent for a cold fusion apparatus. It was a smash hit at the Fifth International Conference on Cold Fusion (ICCF5) at Monte Carlo, Monaco last April. Participants were invited to test it themselves-and they did. The cell bubbled with excess energy throughout the conference.

Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (CETI) of Dallas, Texas intends to scale up this highly reproducible electrochemical cold fusion system, which has already proved that output/input power ratios of 10:1 (i.e. 1,000%) are achievable. The CEO of CETI, Jim Redding (incidentally, the grandson of Dr. Patterson), has told "IE" that his company is working with other individuals and companies to produce high power units in the kilowatt range as soon as possible. It seems to us at "IE" that kilowatt-level heat production with this process is a distinct possibility within the next six-months or so.

There may even be a light-weight cold fusion-powered cars that have traversed in U.S. and Australia in "Tour de Sol" races in recent years. Well, at least one cold fusion pioneer has his eyes on driving such a light-weight vehicle - with solar panels replaced by a one-horsepower cold fusion engine-clear across the U.S. may he will park it near the U.S. Patent Office, which is still blocking hundreds of U.S. patent applications for cold fusion. (Patterson's was granted by what amounts to a bureaucratic slip-up by the obstructing authorities!)

It is most remarkable that the Patterson Power Cell works with ordinary water, not the heavy water of the original Pons and Fleischmann cell. The potential of this ordinary water technology has been a very hot prospect ever since Dr. Randall Mills in Pennsylvania announced his nickel-based ordinary water "hydrocatalysis" process back in 1991. Technological setbacks may have temporarily stalled the work at Hydrocatalysis Power Corporation and at nearby Thermacore in Pennsylvania, but it is very much alive in Texas and at other labs and corporations known to be working with CETI.

At ICCF5, electrical engineer Bruce Klein with Bechtel Corp. gave the attendees his perspective of how large corporations could begin to become involved in the field. For their own sake, one hopes that some of them will heed Klein's advice, which we reprint here in full. Dr. Robert Horst of Tandem Computers also puts forward his personal ideas about market strategies for cold fusion companies.

Now for an incredible commercial bombshell- a water-fuel device that did not originate from the mainline cold fusion field at all, but which is very definitely penetrating the marketplace already in eastern Europe. We have learned that in a former region of the Soviet Union, now the country of Moldova (known also as Moldavia), the VIZOR Corporation in Kishinev has already sold thousands of heating units to homes and industries! These work on the cavitation principle in ordinary water, very reminiscent of the Hydrosonic Pump of Hydrodynamics, Inc. of Rome, Georgia in the US, only they are apparently much more effective in generating excess thermal energy.

Dr. James Patterson (l) and Dr. Dennis Cravens
with the Patterson Power Cell Demonstration
at ICCF5 (photo: EFM) The Hydrosonic Pump of James Griggs may produce 10% to 50% excess power as steam or hot water-in the kilowatt range, from a metal cylinder rotating in ordinary water in a confined chamber. This is remarkable enough, and has already been confirmed to have reduced the electric heating bills in some US installations. But Dr. Yuri S. Potapov's devices input several kilowatts of electricity into a centrifugal water pump that feeds the device and gets out reportedly 400% to 1,000% excess power in hot water! Laboratory reports from other CIS states appear to confirm these claims. But what is most important is that hundreds upon hundreds of satisfied customers have ratified the technology in the marketplace! Who would buy a device that potentially could increase their electric hot water heating bill by 100% if the conventional centrifugal pump were say only 50% efficient (a common efficiency for such pumps)? The answer is simple: nobody! Russian and Moldovans are not fools. They know when their water and space heating bills have been cut in half or less-as VIZOR's customers regularly report. That would mean these devices have to be in the range of at least 400% "over-unity." Of course, this is such a provocative preliminary conclusion, it simply has to be tested in laboratories in the US and elsewhere before it can be fully accepted. That is precisely what will soon happen. Please stay tuned!

IE contributing editor Chris Tinsley of the UK and IE scientific advisor, chemical engineer Dr. Peter Gluck of Romania, traveled to Kishinev to see what was going on at VIZOR; they file their report in this issue ("Infinite Energy2, Vol. 1, No. 2 1995). What they found was most astonishing: an obviously robust commercial enterprise, producing a variety of heating units that can heat entire large buildings. The essence of these units is a fluid vortex chamber that apparently produces intense cavitation between fluid layers. If the Griggs Hydrosonic Pump and the E-Quest Sciences ultrasonic reactor are taken as confirmed evidence that remarkable energy-producing effects are at work in cavitation systems, then it is a small step to imagine that Potapov's machines work too. The quantum leap of VIZOR's machines is their spectacularly greater efficiency in their present embodiment.

People associated with the Russian space program have become convinced that the Potapov technology is real and revolutionary. Moreover, theoretical physicist Dr. Lev G. Sapogin of MADI Technical University in Moscow proposes a theory to explain the Potapov device, as well as more conventional "cold fusion" processes. Readers are invited to explore his challenging theory in this issue of IE. Preliminary testing revealed no neutron or gamma radiation emanating from tests of the Potapov devices. Certainly no mere chemical ash commensurate with the astonishing excess power could be found. What does that leave? Zero Point Energy? Subtle mass conversion to energy in heretofore unknown ways., or some subtle radiationless nuclear reaction still undetected? Whatever the case, profound shocks are certain to be coming to the world of physics-ordinary "conventional" cold fusion was enough to do that already. Electric energy production in self-sustaining devices may not be far behind-or may already have been achieved, as Dr. Potapov suggests. But these earthquakes from cavitation devices that may rock physical theory to is foundations are no less portentous than the shock to the world's energy economy that is about to occur. Welcome, indeed, to the Water Fuel/"Free Energy" age! Cold fusion, at long last, has gone commercial.

5-17-04 Mallove Update
During the first hour of Monday's Coasttocoastam.com show, Steven B. Krivit of New Energy Times discussed the recent death of Eugene Mallove, which has been reported to be a homicide that took place during a robbery.

He "wouldn't hesitate to say the truth," Krivit said of Mallove, in regard to his pioneering work with energy technology. Further, Mallove had told him that he and a partner had recently developed some important new improvements to some laboratory apparatus they working on.

(WTNH, May 17, 2004 5:30 PM) _ Still no arrests in the case of a New Hampshire man who was found murdered in Norwich.

Police found the author from New Hampshire beaten to death Friday night.

* Watch the story by News Channel 8's Tina Detelj

Josephine Mikutel has fond memories of the boy who lived across the street.

Mikutel says."My children all grew up with him and they all played."

Now though she watches the empty house where that boy who became a prominent scientist was murdered Friday night.

Mikutel says,"I'm kind of down in the dumps."

As is Francis Durga, a childhood friend of 56-year-old Dr. Eugene Mallove who lived in Pembroke, New Hampshire. Durga says Mallove came back to his boyhood home on Friday to clean it up after his tenants moved out.

Durga says,"We were together until approximately seven o'clock. When I drove out of there at eight his van was gone."

Lt. Tim Menard, Norwich police, says,"He was found outside of the house and he had a blunt force trauma to his face and neck."

Fran Durga who has always kept an eye on this house for Dr. Mallove says he never say anyone come by on Friday, although the doctor did tell him three people did stop by to ask about renting the house. That sign now sits on the top of the dumpster.

Which is where Durga believes conspiracy theories surrounding Mallove's work with the controversial theory cold fusion which says you can get energy without cost or pollution - belong.

Durga says,"I gotta tell you, I think that's hogwash."

Police believe the most likely motive is robbery and Mallove's mini van which was later found at Foxwoods casino may be the key to finding his killers.

Lt. Tim Menard, Norwich Police, says,"The biggest thing is anyone seen with his vehicle."

Richard Hoagland says: 

My long-time friend, Dr. Eugene Mallove, is dead. The local police have ruled his death a homicide.

At this writing, his killer is (or “killers” are) unknown, and the precise reasons for his brutal killing are equally mysterious.

The timing of Gene’s death - May 14, 2004, just as his 15-year, literal one scientist crusade to force the world’s scientific and political communities to take seriously a revolutionary form of energy that can literally “change the world” was finally about to be vindicated this year, by a reversal of the original negative analysis 15 years ago by the same government agency, the U.S. Department of Energy - makes no sense, regardless of the exact reasons for his murder.

After my initial shock and grief had given way to anger, and then to needing to let those who did not know Gene Mallove as I did what a remarkable man had suddenly been taken from us, I realized that Gene himself had given me the perfect tool to show the world “who they have lost” … and maybe “why.”

Our last conversation took place literally less than 24 hours before Gene’s sudden death. In that phone call, he reminded me that he’s just e-mailed me an “open letter” for posting here at Enterprise, outlining the results of and reasons for his last 15 years in the field of “new energy research.” Those 15 years, I might add, came at considerable personal sacrifice and economic cost to Gene and his own family. But, it was because of that family - and all the other families, all around the world, who desperately need and deserve the technologies for which he ultimately gave his life -- that Gene bore that cost with considerable patience, if not élan.

Thus, it is Gene’s own words -- his unwavering vision of a world that can finally work for all of us, if these fundamental energy discoveries he fought so hard to realize are allowed to come to pass - that make a far more fitting eulogy than I could ever write.

This, then, is the Gene Mallove that I knew ... a colleague and friend whom I, along with all his other friends and colleagues who had the privilege to know him as I did, shall forever miss.

Stay tuned, my friend: your final epitaph is not yet written ....

Universal Appeal for Support
for New Energy Science and Technology

by Dr. Eugene F. Mallove President, New Energy Foundation, Inc. Editor-in-Chief, Infinite Energy Magazine

TO ALL PEOPLE OF THE WORLD who have open-minded curiosity, good will, good judgment, and imagination. To Scientists and Engineers, Philanthropists, Environmentalists, Energy Developers, High Technology Investors, Healthcare Professionals, Journalists, Artists, Writers, Business People, Entertainers, and Political Leaders. Whether you are Conservative, Liberal, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or Anarchist, and whether you may be Agnostic, Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Atheist, or some other category of spirituality, this message is directed to all people of good will like you …

Dear Friend:

Here are some thoughts by wise thinkers—background for this urgent appeal for your consideration and support of research and development of radically new forms of energy. These are energy sources that have the potential to turn the present world order upside down and bring about a bright new day for civilization:

“The exception tests the rule.” Or, put another way. “The exception proves that the rule is wrong.” That is the principle of science. If there is an exception to any rule, and if it can be proved by observation, that rule is wrong.

Richard P. Feynman (1963), Nobel Laureate in Physics (1965)

The progress of physics is unsystematic…The result is that physics sometimes passes on to new territory before sufficiently consolidating territory already entered; it assumes sometimes too easily that results are secure and bases further advance on them, thereby laying itself open to further possible retreat. This is easy to understand in a subject in which development of the great fundamental concepts is often slow; a new generation appears before the concept has been really salted down, and assumes in the uncritical enthusiasm of youth that everything taught in school is gospel truth and forgets the doubts and tentative gropings of the great founders in its eagerness to make applications of the concepts and pass on to the next triumph…But each new young physicist…is in danger of forgetting all the past rumination and present uncertainty, and of starting with an uncritical acceptance of the concepts in the stage of development in which he finds them.

Percy W. Bridgman (1961), Nobel Laureate in Physics (1946)

American Nobel Laureate in Physics (1988) Leon M. Lederman is no proponent of research into radical forms of new energy; one might accurately call him a “pathological skeptic” based on at least one opinion he has voiced (see The God Particle, 1993, p.122). Nonetheless, he somehow senses that a physics revolution may be upon us. He said recently, “You can smell discovery in the air…The sense of imminent revolution is very strong.” (New York Times, November 11, 2003, p.D12). He is much more accurate than he can imagine, but not at all for reasons that he would readily accept! Perhaps he may be thinking of esoteric academic physics subjects such “string theory” or “cosmic dark energy,” but certainly not practical technologies based on radical new physics. Having the intellectual problems identified by physics Nobel Laureate P. W. Bridgman in the quotation above, Lederman has not been looking at a large body of research that will indeed revolutionize the foundations of physics and give us command of fantastic new forms of energy. Too bad for Lederman; and too bad for us all that he has not been paying attention. We could use the support of people like Lederman…if they would only come to their senses, that is, examine open-mindedly the validity of experimental data that challenges their cherished theories.

In an article in Science, November 1, 2002, eighteen experts reported that they examined all the conventionally understood alternatives to fossil fuels and found them all to have “severe deficiencies” in their ability to deal with environmental problems while also being adequate to growing planetary energy needs. Physics Professor Martin Hoffert, leader of that research group, told the press that the United States would have to undertake an urgent energy research crash program, like the Manhattan atomic bomb project or the Apollo lunar missions. According to the New York Times (November 4, 2003, D1), Hoffert stated that we would need “Maybe six or seven of them [massive projects] operating simultaneously…We should be prepared to invest several hundred billion dollars in the next 10 to 15 years.” Well, I have news for these experts: The solutions to our energy problems are very close at hand, and they do require initial research and funding, but not the billions of dollars that such Establishment “experts” are accustomed to from government largesse. Rather, all that is needed perhaps are only several tens of millions of dollars to create robust prototype electric power generators based on new energy physics discoveries that have already been made. That is what this Appeal for Support is all about: to raise consciousness and funding for these radical alternative new energy sources.

Question: Do you believe that it is possible that modern science has overlooked or ignored major scientific discoveries, which—if developed into technologies— would revolutionize almost every aspect of civilization? It has!

I will not catalogue the many horrors and troubles of this world that could be reduced or eliminated with an abundant, safe, and clean, radically new form of energy, if it were to be embodied in widely used technologies. You know these troubles already. But I do want to tell you about a significant path toward solving many of these problems, which we can all begin to take now, but about which you may have heard very little. You may have thought that no such path could exist. Let me assure you that it does and that thousands of researchers are already on it. They have traveled this unbeaten path to a new era for far too long without adequate support. I should know, I happen to be one of them. Yes, we have not reached our goals, but thanks to meticulous scientific research, huge sacrifices, and tireless work against great opposition, these objectives are now much closer to being realized. The basic scientific direction of the path forward has already been mapped out. We need your support to go further on the path and reach our common destination: A world of abundant, clean, and safe energy from sources that have no centralized geopolitical control.

Please attend to this appeal. I am most certainly not asking you to accept my claims at face value. But you must read, consider, study or review the compendious referenced material, investigate it, and then, I hope, you will be moved to take action. If you still have questions about these claims that need answering, I and my colleagues are available to answer them with facts, not hand-waving.

Who am I to ask anything of you on behalf of others, whether your attention for these brief moments, or for your financial and moral support? I am a scientist and an engineer with two engineering degrees from MIT (1969, 1970) and a doctorate from the Harvard University School of Public Health (1975). I have worked all my adult life as a dedicated scientist, despite my engineer’s stripes. I have always sought to learn how the cosmos really works, and I find this process to be an exciting, difficult, and unending adventure, despite those who so erroneously claim that we are approaching “The End of Science” or a “Final Theory of Everything.” Apart from my work in government-funded research at MIT and Harvard and later in corporate settings, I have also broadened my horizons by writing about science as an author and a journalist. Articles by me and about me have appeared in such venues as MIT Technology Review, The Washington Post Sunday “Outlook” section, the New York Times, Popular Science, Analog, TWA Ambassador in-flight magazine, Wired, and New Hampshire Magazine. I have appeared on many national radio programs, and for a time in the mid-1980s I was proud to have been a regular science and technology broadcaster for The Voice of America.

I am telling you something about me, not to elevate myself, but to convey to you something of my experience, sincerity, and integrity. I have written three acclaimed science books for the general public: 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 Dr. Gregory Matloff), and Fire from Ice: Searching for the Truth Behind the Cold Fusion Furor (1991, John Wiley & Sons). The late Nobel Laureate in physics (1965) Julian Schwinger endorsed my book Fire from Ice with these words: “Eugene Mallove has produced a sorely needed, accessible overview of the cold fusion muddle. By sweeping away stubbornly held preconceptions, he bares the truth implicit in a provocative variety of experiments.” (He shared the 1965 Nobel Prize with Richard P. Feynman and Sin Itiro Tomanaga.) I am most proud of this latter book, because it began a jarring quest that led to finding out not only dramatic new truths about new accessible forms of energy in nature, but more important for me and you, the following most astonishing truth about modern “official” science: Official science is not really intent on truly expanding scientific knowledge, in particular when some very, very fundamental scientific dogmas and theories are put at risk.

Here is how one famous nuclear science professor at my alma mater MIT reacted to my request to him in 1991 to study the summary reports from two pioneering Ph.D. scientists, who had compiled seminal reviews about frontier experiments in low-energy nuclear reactions (a.k.a. “cold fusion”). One of the reviewing scientists was 34-year veteran researcher at our Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and the other was a leader of research at India’s Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC):

“I have had fifty years of experience in nuclear physics and I know what’s possible and what’s not!…I will not look at any more evidence! It’s all junk!” —MIT Prof. Herman Feshbach, May 1991, on the telephone to Dr. Mallove

I hope you recognize that the late Professor Feshbach’s most unfortunate and ill-considered reaction was fundamentally unscientific. It reminds me of the Church leaders at the time of Galileo, who refused to look through Galileo’s telescope at the Moon or at Jupiter, because they “knew” that nothing new could be seen! Yes, many modern scientists are filled with catastrophic hubris; they have become in many ways mere “technicians of science,” and guardians of what amounts to a pernicious “Holy Writ.” Don’t bother me with the experimental evidence, my theory can tell me what is possible and what is not!

If by chance you are one of those who believe that “all is well in the house of science” and that “official science” can be counted on to behave itself and always seek the truth—even in matters of central, overarching importance to the well-being of humankind—you are sorely mistaken, and I could prove that to you with compendious documentation. (If you want to read what happened at just one institution, MIT, when a paradigm shift threatened established hot fusion research programs and “vested intellectual interests” such as those Prof. Feshbach so vehemently defended, read my 55-page report about this monumental tragedy at www.infinite-energy.com.) But as a first step, you should reflect on the broader history of science, which is so fraught with revolutionary leaps and paradigm shifts. These have often been made against great opposition—with revolutionary data staring an older, unaccepting generation of scientists right in the face! Read this Appeal carefully and then reconsider your opinion about who is telling the truth and who is defending falsehood about revolutionary new prospects for science and civilization.

For almost nine years I have been the editor of Infinite Energy, the magazine of new energy science and technology. Though it is now small in circulation, Infinite Energy is received worldwide in some forty countries. And, Infinite Energy is distributed to newsstands across the United States and Canada. My friend and colleague, Sir Arthur C. Clarke, has supported with words and resources some of our efforts on behalf of new energy. The research that Infinite Energy covers suggests that there are at least three major categories of radically new sources of energy that civilization is on the verge of being able to tap and reduce to practical technologies. These are the completely new forms of energy for which this Appeal for Support is being issued. New Energy is the term that we apply to new sources of energy that are currently not recognized as feasible by the “scientific establishment,” but for which overwhelming and compelling evidence exists, we suggest, in at least these major categories:

Category 1. New hydrogen physics (a.k.a. “cold fusion,” more generally Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions or LENR, “hydrino” physics, and other water-based energy sources. Copious technical and other information about this research may be found on these two diverse websites: www.lenr-canr.org and www.blacklightpower.com as well as our own site, www.infinite-energy.com. The upshot of this energy-from-water field is that within ordinary water there is a heretofore unimaginably large energy reservoir that may be as great as 300 gallons of gasoline energy equivalent within each gallon of plain water! This energy would be non-polluting, would have no hazardous radiation, and would, in effect, have a zero fuel cost. Only one cubic kilometer of ocean water would provide energy equivalent to all the known oil reserves on Earth. In responding to a special plea by Sir Arthur C. Clarke, the White House requested from me a technically-based Memorandum on this topic in February 2000. This 8,500-word Memorandum, “The Strange Birth of the Water Fuel Age,” was submitted to the Clinton Administration and later to the Bush Administration. It is now posted on www.infinite-energy.com. It asks for a review of the substantial evidence—in particular the copious evidence developed over the past 14 years in U.S. Federal laboratories—for this category of anomalous new physics energy. Unfortunately, apart from polite “Thank You” notes, no discernable action has been taken by either administration. The 10^th International Conference on Cold Fusion (ICCF10) was held near and at MIT in August 2003. Actual public demonstrations of excess energy production in electrolytic cells occurred at MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Wall Street Journal science journalist Sharon Begley attended ICCF10 and wrote a fine column in the September 5, 2003 issue of WSJ, “Cold Fusion Isn’t Dead, It’s Withering From Scientific Neglect.” Among other surprising technical developments at ICCF10 was the presentation by a well-funded Israeli corporation, Energetics Technologies, which appears to have made enormous strides in overcoming some of the problems with the low-energy nuclear reactions phenomenon. Isn’t it time that the experimental data from this significant field of scientific work is reviewed by an unbiased panel, unlike the rush-to-judgment hostile group in 1989, which inexcusably botched that investigation? Why aren’t the many politicians who have been informed about this taking action? Are they perhaps fearful of the all-to-common “sneer review” from the Scientific Establishment?

Category 2. Vacuum energy, Zero Point Energy or “ZPE” for short, aether energy, or space energy. These are descriptions of vast energy sources from the vacuum state. Information about this most radical and paradigm-shattering physics and technology research can be found on websites: www.aetherometry.com, www.energyscience.co.uk, and www.aethera.org. In the mid-1990s, Dr. Paulo and Alexandra Correa in the Toronto area obtained three US patents on an astonishing technological device, the so-called Pulsed Abnormal Glow Discharge (PAGD^TM) reactor. In its several embodiments, it already produces kilowatt-level electrical, thermal, and mechanical output power. A Quicktime video of one such device, working in 2003, may be viewed at www.aetherometry.com/cat-abrimedia.html. Successful testing of the PAGD by outside parties, including Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) and Ontario Hydro, regrettably did not lead to commercial arrangements to further the development of this scientific wonder, which has been meticulously documented in the three United States-granted Correa patents. (Uri Soudak, former Chief Technology Officer of IAI, is still involved with the project here in the U.S.) The Correas and Dr. Harold Aspden, IBM’s former chief of patent operations in Europe (from 1963 to 1983), have provided convincing theoretical explanations, based on concrete experiments with a variety of fundamental phenomena, all of which illuminate how this unsuspected vacuum state energy can be extracted by the PAGD reactor. The advent (possibly in only 2-3 years) of self-sustaining electrical power-generating units in the multi-kilowatt power range appears to be only a matter of gathering a relatively small amount of engineering/scientific development funding, in the low several tens of million dollars range.

Category 3. Environmental energy, i.e. energy from sensible thermal energy (in particular, energy of molecular motion), through significant extensions to the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The Proceedings of an important scientific conference dealing with this subject gives great insight into this work: Quantum Limits to the Second Law: First International Conference on Quantum Limits to the Second Law (San Diego, CA, July 28-31, 2002), Professor Daniel P. Sheehan, Editor, American Institute of Physics, Conference Proceedings, #643, 2002. A strong consensus of a significant number of the scientist attendees, as reported by the author, is that it will be possible to make utilitarian machines that convert the thermal energy in the environment to useful work, without a lower temperature reservoir to dump waste heat. This would be in direct contravention of the supposedly sacrosanct Second Law of Thermodynamics. These devices would be nearly perfect “free energy” machines. Accurate simulations of such devices have been carried out and the results published in peer-reviewed journals. Some of the authors predict that such prototype devices could be reduced to small prototype units within five years.

The foregoing brief descriptions of the three categories of New Energy identified so far is only the tip of the iceberg of the verifiable and testable information that is available on these energy sources. It is amenable to critical and precise scientific review. Of course, if the Scientific Establishment trusts only in its textbook theories and if disbelieving people of good will who have the means to move this work forward choose “not to look through the telescope,” the consequences will be that these wondrous technologies will not be developed as rapidly as they could have been otherwise—or they may not be developed at all! This has been and will be a monumental tragedy for virtually every category of human experience, all of which would be transformed by these now apparently “unwanted” discoveries.

I could write much more in this memorandum about the corrupt machinations within the supposedly well-ordered and ethical house of science, actions that have kept the information that Infinite Energy publishes from where it should be: prominently considered in such publications as Science and Nature. Don’t worry, many, many peer-reviewed technical publications have indeed courageously published pioneering technical papers about new energy, but the prominent mainstream publications that set the boundaries of the public scientific discourse—journals such as Science and Nature—reject without review any and all papers that challenge the foundational paradigms of physics, chemistry, and biology. You may find that difficult to believe, as I would have a mere fifteen years ago when I wrote Fire from Ice, but it is a sad and demonstrable truth. Let us not dwell on that, however, but rather move forward together with an end-run around this grotesque, anti-scientific obstruction.

Infinite Energy Magazine has been published bi-monthly since March 1995 and I have been its Editor-in-Chief and Publisher since that time. It is a technical magazine with editorial outreach to the general public as well. Many of its articles are very accessible to laypeople and non-specialists. You may download for free some 117 pages of representative sample articles, which we have gathered together for you at www.infinite-energy.com. Other key articles are posted for free downloading on our website on a continuing basis. To maintain the highest editorial standards, Infinite Energy is written and edited by scientists, engineers, and expert journalists. It is aimed at pioneering scientists, engineers, business people, environmentalists, philanthropists, and investors who are concerned about an exciting R&D area that we believe will change the world dramatically.

New Energy Foundation, Inc. (NEF) is an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) public charity corporation, based in New Hampshire; it has a five-member board of respected citizens. (Prior to July 2003, Infinite Energy had operated under a for-profit corporation.) NEF also has a research grant-awarding function, which was initiated in 2003. NEF dispenses to outside researchers and developers carefully targeted research and development funding grants from its reserves of charitable contributions. These funds are beginning to grow, but are nowhere near the level they need to be.

The current subscription price and newsstand price of Infinite Energy provides less than 30% of what it costs to carry on a publication of this quality at the frontiers of knowledge—and for which no significant advertising base yet exists. And this frontier knowledge is neglected (and not infrequently mocked) by most of the scientific and media establishments. Therefore, charitable contributions are needed to carry on this important information networking function. Here is the other basic motivation for NEF: It has been far too difficult (so far) to persuade venture capital to invest in new energy technology that is not quite ready yet for “prime time,” so the vicious Catch 22 (“We won't invest because it is not successful already.”) must be broken. We appeal to the humanitarian and charitable instincts of those in a position to invest charitably in and/or to spread the word about the most fundamental aspect of our future: The triumph of truth over falsehood on the frontiers of science—in which the new energy field, in our view, will be the first paradigm-shattering example.

What we have today in the fiery menace of hydrocarbon fuels and its associated geopolitical nightmare is very ugly indeed. There is almost no area of human activity that would not be dramatically affected by the advent of new energy technology—especially matters of war or peace and health and the environment. Therefore, if your review of the referenced material convinces you that this is a reality and not “pathological science,” as the unrepentant critics—who have not studied the scientific findings objectively or at all—would have you believe, we hope that you will view your tax-deductible support of the New Energy Foundation as a significant investment in your future, for your loved ones and for civilization at large. Just try to imagine our world twenty or fifty years hence without the advent of a dramatic source of new energy such as low-energy nuclear reactions, aether energy (or Zero Point Energy/space energy/vacuum energy, if you prefer), or some other very powerful new physics energy source. It is not a pleasant picture.

What about solar power, wind power, or hydrogen fuel cells, you ask? Those are fine, and Infinite Energy devotes some smaller space to writing about these. But a future of abundant, clean energy has almost no chance of emerging from the well-intentioned, beneficial, but extremely limited world of wind-power, photovoltaics, hydropower, and other conventional renewables. And the so-called controlled hot fusion tokamak reactor program, which is lavishly funded with billions of dollars by governments to the exclusion of workable new energy science and technology, will never bring about an era of clean abundant energy from the heavy hydrogen in water. Conventional hydrogen fuel cells, which are widely discussed by the news media today, rely on the conventionally understood energy from hydrogen when it combines with oxygen to form water. This is thousands to millions of times less powerful per gram of hydrogen than already demonstrated new energy sources! Furthermore, the hydrogen for conventional fuel cells must come from some other energy source that must be used to break down abundant water to get hydrogen fuel (if we reject the other hydrogen source: hydrocarbon fuel). But in all conventional hydrogen fuel processes using water as the starting material, this requires more energy than one gets back when the hydrogen is consumed. So ordinary “hydrogen power” is a misnomer at best—it is no solution at all to the world’s real energy needs. Hydrogen, conventionally employed, is an energy storage medium period. New Energy Foundation supports radically new forms of energy, not the relatively weak examples of alternative energy within conventional renewables. We acknowledge, of course, that there are now no robust new energy devices on the market—not yet. But when adequate, well-targeted research funding is applied, a revolution in energy technology will occur that will dwarf the personal computer revolution in intensity. It will have much in common with that revolution too, since power sources will be highly distributed. The very troublesome and erratic power grid is doomed to obsolescence.

At this time, New Energy Foundation is in need of financial support from a broader community than heretofore. NEF disseminates information about potentially world-changing technologies—about the science, technology, patents, investment, and politics thereof; we measure and investigate new claims about new energy devices to determine whether they are sound. This latter can be tough, because there is no question that there is much bogus “free energy noise” that obscures the good research. Most important, we are now processing grant applications by scientists and inventors from around the world, so that the most promising work—now highly under-funded, due to the very heretical nature of this work—gets the financial support that it so much deserves. We are very demanding about these grants; we insist that the research must be headed in the direction of developing publishable scientific results and/or actual commercially useful technologies that operate on new scientific energy principles

Please help us today, either with your financial contribution—of any size—or by passing along this letter and our message to those who may be better able to help NEF. Whatever you or they can afford, no matter how small an amount, will be deeply appreciated—and will be acknowledged in the pages of Infinite Energy (unless you or others tell us that anonymity is requested). Some day we will live in a world in which the discoveries of New Energy science will be taken for granted. No one will be able to deny the devices, processes, and science, whose validation we are struggling so hard to achieve. In some sense, we will then have succeeded in our mission and thus will have “put ourselves out of business.” Those scientific publications and general media, which should have been dealing fairly with this topic all along, will then be forced to write about it and recant past inexcusable excessive skepticism. Billions of dollars in R&D money will then flow from corporations and individuals, as should have been happening already based on what scientists have already discovered! The huge funding for infrastructure conversion to New Energy will flow naturally from private sources, as it has in the rise of the personal computer and Internet industry. Nothing would make me happier than to have that day come. But until then, we very much need increased financial support.

We would like to reach soon our target of at least $500,000 per year in approved research funding for New Energy. That may not seem like a lot of money to do significant research, but let me assure you that even this amount—wisely distributed to the best researchers—could soon begin to have a dramatic catalytic effect. New energy researchers are accustomed to low budgets and are fantastically creative, unlike the wasteful government energy research programs that have demonstrably failed already. It will not be easy to obtain even this level of modest research funding—and, of course, several millions of dollars per year would accomplish much more, but the sooner well-targeted funding reaches under-funded researchers, the more likely we are to accelerate the inevitable New Energy Revolution. Yes, we understand that there is room in parallel for corporate start-ups, and we definitely encourage that to take place. But some of the charitable grant money can help the struggling inventors and scientists to do sufficient research, so that their work can be of greater interest to corporate start-up models.

I think you would agree with me that in these often very dark times the world would benefit immensely from a realistic hope—followed by on-market technology—that a new era of abundant, clean energy resources will be dawning. Please do your best to help us make that happen. Study the hard-won information that we have brought to your attention, if you do not yet accept what I have tried to convey to you. When you have become convinced, if you are not already, please act! You may donate charitably to the efforts of New Energy researchers at www.infinite-energy.com. Please also help us to bring this critical issue to others who may be able to help. Why not satisfy your curiosity and also help New Energy Foundation by subscribing to Infinite Energy. Thank you in advance for joining with us now or in the very near future.

Mallove laid to rest Norwich-born scientist a victim of slaying; family, friends say farewell at N.H. funeral

By Greg Smith
Norwich Bulletin

---

CONCORD, N.H. -- To scientists worldwide, he was a visionary, exploring controversial subjects often abandoned by mainstream science.

But Eugene Mallove's passions extended beyond mere science.

He was a sentimental man who couldn't bear to sell his childhood home in Norwich. He had an oddball sense of humor and overused the phrase "mind-boggling." And, friends and family members recalled, this husband and father of two had a voracious appetite for anything in print.

Several hundred people gathered at the Temple Beth Jacob in Concord Tuesday to honor the 56-year-old Norwich native in those personal ways.

"I can't rationalize how such a philosophical man could fall victim to such a brutal, senseless crime," said his son, Ethan Mallove.

Mallove was beaten to death Friday night in what police suspect was a robbery at his childhood home at 119 Salem Turnpike. He had driven from his home in Pembroke, N.H., to clean out the vacant rental property.

Police are hoping to eliminate suspects this week with the results of forensic tests on fingerprints and DNA obtained from his stolen mini-van.

His daughter, Kimberlyn Woodard, is one of many family members trying to cope with the loss.

An emotional Woodard said Tuesday that it would be hard to come to terms with such a sudden loss.

"My Dad was the most passionate man I've ever known," she said.

She remembered how her father often framed notes sent by friends at significant moments. She recalled how he wore his cowboy hat wherever he went and how he spent an inordinate amount of time at the post office.

"I remember the excitement in the room when he spoke about his work," Woodard said. "He was a great man who had much more to do on this earth. I am so proud of the life he lived."

Cousin Lawrence Alexander of Massachusetts called Mallove one of the smartest people in the world and devoted to his family as much as his scientific work.

Although living in New Hampshire, he remained attached to Norwich.

The son of Mitchel and Gladys Mallove, he had attended the John B. Stanton School and graduated from the Norwich Free Academy in 1965. His mother, Gladys, had been a math teacher at NFA.

He had been compiling a genealogical history of his family and passed out questionnaires at a recent get-together, his cousin, Mary Alice Alexander, said.

"Whatever he got himself interested in, he threw himself into with a passion," she said.

It was Mallove's body of work and worldwide reputation that has generated hundreds of messages from people around the world, said friend and co-worker Christy Frazier, managing editor of the magazine Infinite Energy.

He earned a master's degree in astronautical and aeronautical engineering from Massachusetts of Technology and a doctorate in environmental health science at Harvard University.

His early work included contributions to the Washington Post, including articles on the Big Bang Theory and potential for colonizing neighboring planets. He authored the book, "The Quickening Universe: Cosmic Evolution & Human Destiny," and was co-author of "The Starflight Handbook: A Pioneer's Guide to Interstellar Travel."

Mallove went on to became the chief science writer at MIT.

But he left his position at MIT after he believed that scientists there had prematurely dismissed the theory of cold fusion, or the idea that energy could be produced at room temperature through the fusing of atoms.

Even as other scientists avoid the topic, which some said was mired in politics, Mallove continued to dedicate his work to the subject of cold fusion and promote more experimentation in the field.

He founded the nonprofit New Energy Foundation, constructed his own laboratory for experimentation and published the magazine Infinite Energy, publicizing the work of others seeking alternative energy sources.

He also wrote the Pulitzer-nominated book, "Fire From Ice: Searching for the Truth Behind the Cold Fusion Furor."

Frazier said that in March the Department of Energy agreed to delve deeper into the cold fusion question, a vindication of sorts.

"I regard Gene as a mentor of mine," said friend Steven Krivit of Los Angeles, who attended the funeral Tuesday.

"One of his missions in life was to educate people to the scientific validity of this technology called cold fusion. He endeavored to see it get the attention it deserves."

Krivit, reporter for the New Energy Times, said scientists like himself hope to continue and expand on the work Mallove started.

Mallove's former lab manager Ken Rauen, now of California, said Mallove was quick to pursue the truth as he saw it.

"Because of his fiery personality, he also had some limitations in his ability to communicate with others," Rauen said. "He was definitely a pioneer and open to scientific exploration."

In addition to his son, daughter and grandson, Mallove is survived by his wife of 34 years, Joanne.

He was buried Tuesday in the Beth Jacob Cemetery in Concord, N.H.

Future of Cold Fusion After the Passing of Eugene Mallove

Injunction to carry on with more determination.

by Tim Ventura
http://www.americanantigravity.com

Perhaps the next question, in light of recent events, is to ask "where exactly are we at?". No doubt that Eugene was making some very unique headway into Cold Fusion and LENR research, and his loss will be profound, but one thing that I would like to ask is that we also begin to look at where he was going and how we can continue his legacy to bring these technologies forward into the light.

Cold Fusion is one of many new technologies that I've either read up on or directly done research into. A number of these areas are almost "Phantoms", in that they always appear to be a year-away from commercial development, but the more that you work on them to less tangible they appear. Antigravity is certainly in this arena -- after 12 years of research, including 2 years of basically calling up everybody with any ideas on the phone, I can honestly say that I know less about this than I did starting out.

I could write a book about public perception of alternative science, but its faster to summarize the theme by stating "they care less than we thought they did". Either our efforts are a mere novelty, or instead the public feels impotent to help and simply figures that "sombody else is working on it". In either case, that's bad news for this type of research (funded out of pocket with virtually no support from mainstream science).

Mallove was a giant in this field, because he brought credibility to research that would otherwise be marginalized. We need to continue to provide credibility, and the primary way to achieve this is to first stop the infighting that this community is so notorious for, and then find ways to present a unified front for the public to put their interest into.

We've achieved a lot of the preliminary goals that have eluded researchers in this area in the past -- we've found lots of potential technologies, and attained publicity (or at least notoriety) in the public mind. The question now is where to go from here? Gene Mallove had an idea on this, and he will be missed by us all. However, maybe this is an opportunity to come together and become organized in our efforts, rather than letting fear and paranoia take hold.

  Saturday, May 29, 2004 Police seeking help in Mallove killing By GREG SMITH Norwich Bulletin NORWICH- It could turn up as roadside garbage or at a local pawn shop. But items like a Styrofoam cooler and orange juice carton, gold wedding band and digital camera could be crucial clues in an ongoing city murder investigation. City police are putting a call out to area residents for assistance in the case of murder victim Eugene Mallove. Mallove was beaten to death at his childhood home at 19 Salem Turnpike on May 14 during a suspected robbery. Police believe it was a robbery because Mallove's van and other items were taken from the scene. Police released a list of those items Friday, some of which may have been discarded by the perpetrator on the weekend of May 15. Missing items include the following: Wallet with identification and numerous credit cards, pocket-size spiral notebook, cell phone with heavy duty case, gold wedding band, a Sony Cyber Shot digital camera No. DSC P9 / 4.0 Meg, case for the camera, a white Styrofoam cooler, pair of brown and black slip-on shoes, and a half-gallon orange juice carton. Mallove's stolen van was discovered hours after the murder in a Foxwoods employee parking lot. Some items from the crime scene and the van are currently undergoing forensic tests at the state laboratory in Meriden. "The forensic testing will connect or eliminate some of the leads developed as of this point in the investigation," Norwich police Detective Lt. Timothy Menard said. Mallove had traveled to Norwich to clean out items from the 19 Salem Turnpike house, where tenants had reportedly been evicted a month before. Several abandoned cars along with a large Dumpster were located in the driveway at the time of the murder. Mallove was a 1965 Norwich free academy graduate who had gone on to become a scientist, author and world-renowned for his publications in the field of cold fusion. gasmith@norwichbulletin.com Originally published Saturday, May 29, 2004 Copyright ©2004 Norwich Bulletin.

Fifth arrest in city slaying By Greg Smith Norwich Bulletin 7-2-04 NORWICH -- Police charged a second juvenile with murder Wednesday and continue to search for an 18-year-old in connection  with the brutal beating death of a city man in Greeneville Monday. The arrest of the 15-year-old, whose name is being withheld because of his status as a juvenile, brings to five the number of people  arrested on murder charges. Police also obtained an arrest warrant for Tamir D. Dixon, 18, with a last known address of 338 Prospect St., second floor, in  Norwich. Dixon is wanted for his role in the death of William Derose, 43, of 61 Union St., who was discovered by police in the trunk of his  car off Fourth Street early Monday morning. Derose was beaten to death and found with puncture wounds in his chest and abdomen. The murder allegedly was the result of a  drug deal gone wrong. On Monday, police arrested Michael D. Pires Sr., 48, and Michael D. Pires Jr., 22, who live at 121 Fourth St., the source of drug  activity in the neighborhood, according to the complaints of neighbors. In addition to the father and son, police arrested Kevin J. Sheehan, 17, of 4 Gilmour St., and an unnamed 15-year-old. All are being  held on $1 million bond. The second 15-year-old juvenile arrested Wednesday is being held at the Connecticut Juvenile Detention Center. Police did not  disclose details of this arrest because of the ongoing investigation. Norwich detective Sgt. Mark Rankowitz said police continue to conduct interviews. They have received tips from the public that  have aided in the investigation. Police originally were alerted to reports of suspicious activity on Fourth Street near the dead end Gilmour Street at about 2:10 a.m.  Monday. A newspaper delivery man phoned police when he saw several people near a vehicle. Responding police found blood around the car and near the 121 Fourth St. home. They later discovered the body. It's the second murder of the year in Norwich. Police continue the investigation of the murder of Dr. Eugene Mallove of New  Hampshire, who was found slain at his childhood home at 119 Salem Road in May. State police are investigating the shooting death of a store clerk at a Citgo gas station on Route 2 in Preston, just over the Norwich  city line. Pakistan native and Norwich resident Sahibzada Ali, 26, was found by a customer shot to death behind the counter. Norwich police are asking for assistance from the public in the search for Dixon in connection with Monday's Greeneville murder  and urge anyone with information of his whereabouts to call police at 886-5561. Calls can be kept confidential. gasmith@norwichbulletin.com Originally published Thursday, July 1, 2004 Scientist's violent death shocks cold fusion research network July 27, 2004 Eugene Mallove, one of cold fusion's most ardent advocates, was overjoyed in April when the US Department of Energy agreed to give the scorned subject another review. To him, it was a breakthrough: Years of work trying to get mainstream science to pay attention to cold fusion seemed to be paying off. But a month later, on May 14, Mallove was dead, brutally murdered at his childhood home in Norwich, Conn, Police, who have not yet made an arrest in the murder, have no evidence Mallove's cold fusion work contributed to his death -- they believe it was an act of random violence. To still-reeling friends, family, and colleagues, however, Mallove's death was particularly cruel because he was so optimistic that cold fusion was finally going to get its just review. ''My father was so passionate about doing what he felt was right (even though) everywhere he turned doors were shut in his face," said his daughter Kimberlyn Woodard. She used to affectionately call her father the ''mad scientist" for the experiments he always had going in their home's basement. ''He was a brilliant man, he could have worked anywhere he chose and he gave that up because of the possibility there was something to cold fusion," she said. Mallove, 56, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate, was chief science writer at MIT when the cold fusion debacle exploded in 1989. Skeptical at first, he soon became a believer and grew increasingly frustrated with the scientific establishment's refusal to reexamine cold fusion. Finally, in 1991, he quit, disgusted with what he saw as mainstream scientists' unwillingness to look seriously at cold fusion. Although Mallove had a master's degree from MIT and a doctorate from Harvard University, he rejected many aspects of mainstream science after quitting MIT and dedicated his life to publicizing the cold fusion field. He wrote a book, ''Fire from Ice," about the cold fusion episode and founded a New Hampshire-based magazine called Infinite Energy, focused on research related to cold fusion and other new energy sources. He wrote dozens of articles, essays, and papers and was well known around Pembroke, N.H., for his van's cold fusion decals and license plate INF-N-R-G, named after his magazine. He also ran the New Energy Foundation, backed by a wealthy anonymous benefactor that supported new kinds of energy research. Money was always a struggle for Mallove. But he rejected the 9-to-5 science world -- refusing a ''humdrum" life, according to his now-grown son, Ethan, and he morally couldn't turn his back on cold fusion and the clean energy it promised. Mallove would spend hours patiently explaining cold fusion to people who had never heard of it, and friends say he was one of the most curious and kind people they had ever met. In the last few months before he died, as he celebrated the birth of his first grandchild, Mallove earned his real estate license to help with expenses. ''My father once said on the radio the arrogance of the scientific establishment was mind-boggling," said Ethan Mallove. ''It was disappointment after disappointment, but he was endlessly optimistic and there was no giving up." Police found Mallove's body badly beaten at a family home that he rented out. He died of injuries to his neck and head. While conspiracy theories made the rounds on the Web, police believe the motive was most likely robbery. Mallove's Dodge Caravan van was found in an employee parking lot at Foxwoods Casino, a 15-minute drive away. Police say they are still waiting on lab results to make an arrest. ''It was important to my father that you keep an open mind to things and don't shut the door," said Woodard. ''He could never understand why there were these possibilities and no one looked at them. It wouldn't have hurt and it could only help."

Stonington police are not commenting on any evidence they found linking a Jarion Childs, 27, a former Groton basketball standout, to the beating, robbery and death of an 89-year-old local farmer. However, it now appears that Childs, who is dead, may be connected to another murder. A warrant police used to search his former girlfriend's apartment on Canal Street in Westerly, RI, connects Childs to the Stonington murder of Gordon Jeffrey. Childs was killed several weeks after Jeffrey's murder during an apparent midnight robbery of a Dairy Queen in Groton. Investigators say he used a crowbar to break into the ice cream shop but once inside, he was confronted by owner Stephen Botchis. The two struggled and Botchis fired off several round from his gun, killing Childs. Now the evidence gathered at the Groton and Stonington crime scenes may be connected to a murder case 20 miles away. Eugene Mallove, a world expert on cold fusion, was killed during what police suspect was a robbery at his mother's rental property in Norwich. Norwich detectives are hoping that DNA evidence from the Stonington homicide matches the DNA in Groton and their investigations, including the Mallove murder.
  Arrest made in Mallove murder case Police say local scientist was probably killed during robbery By ANNMARIE TIMMINS Monitor staff Police, Family Renew Pleas For Help In Solving Murder June 03. 2005 8:00AM McAvoy   Connecticut man with a history of theft and burglary has been charged with last year's murder of Pembroke scientist Eugene Mallove. Mallove, 56, was beaten to death in Norwich, Conn., while checking on his childhood home in what the police have called a robbery gone bad. The police considered Gary McAvoy, 43, of Main Street, Norwich, a prime suspect within days of Mallove's May 2004 killing. Detectives said yesterday that they did not have enough evidence to charge McAvoy until Wednesday, but they declined to be specific. McAvoy, who is serving time on unrelated auto theft charges, is being held on $1 million bail. He will not be able to enter a plea to the murder charge until a judge finds there is enough evidence to schedule the case for trial. Mallove's family, which have been frustrated with the pace of the investigation, learned of McAvoy's arrest in a phone call from a Norwich detective shortly after McAvoy was charged. "I couldn't believe my ears. I didn't know if I'd ever hear (an arrest had been made),"said Mallove's son, Ethan, of Winchester, Mass. "We are keeping our fingers crossed. An arrest doesn't equal a conviction, but it's a start." Authorities have previously speculated that Mallove may have been attacked by two people, but they declined to discuss that possibility yesterday. Kevin Kane, a Connecticut state prosecutor handling the case, said only, "the investigation is continuing." Mallove, whose book about cold fusion earned him a Pulitzer Prize nomination, was found beaten on the lawn outside the Norwich home just before 11 p.m. on May 14. He had been cleaning the property with plans of renting it. The police said Mallove was badly beaten around the head and neck. A few people speculated that Mallove had been killed for his scientific work with controversial alternative energy sources But the police thought it was more likely that Mallove had interrupted -even challenged - a robbery. His green van had been stolen. The vehicle was found the next morning about 15 minutes away, in a remote parking lot of Foxwoods Resort Casino. But several items remained missing: his gold wedding band, a digital camera, a cell phone and a wallet with numerous credit cards. In a January press release issued to generate more attention on the stalled case, the police said the items may have been sold for drug money. In early May, still without enough evidence to make an arrest, the police called in the world-renowned Dr. Henry Lee, who worked on the O.J. Simpson, Scott Peterson and the JonBenet Ramsey cases. Lee, who is retired from the Connecticut State Police, agreed to look over the case files, but Connecticut authorities declined to say yesterday whether Lee's involvement prompted McAvoy's arrest. Lee has not returned phone calls. The police refused to discuss what led them to McAvoy. According to court records and state officials, McAvoy is currently serving time for burglary and larceny. Two days after Mallove's murder, McAvoy was arrested an hour away, in New Britain, Conn., on charges of larceny, interfering with an officer and the illegal conversion of property. Prosecutor Lou Louba, of the New Britain State's Attorney's office, said McAvoy had stolen a car; the illegal conversion charge stemmed from his use of the car, Louba said. McAvoy posted bail on the charges and was released. Two months later, on July 13, McAvoy was charged again, this time with two counts of burglary and one count of larceny. Louba said the second charges also involved the theft of a motor vehicle. McAvoy struck a plea deal on all the charges and pleaded guilty to some of them in February. In the first case, prosecutors dropped the interfering and conversion charges but kept the larceny offense. In the second case, prosecutors dropped only one burglary charge, Louba said. On Feb. 7, McAvoy received two, 2-year sentences, according to a court clerk in New Britain Superior Court. He was in prison when the police arrested him.

  Published on 1/29/2005 Norwich— City police and the family of a murder victim are renewing their request for the public's help in locating personal items that belonged to Eugene Mallove, a Norwich native who was employed as a physicist in New Hampshire. On May 15, 2004, Mallove was in town to clear out the house where he had lived as a child. Police were called that night to the 119 Salem Turnpike address, where they found Mallove's body in the driveway. He had been beaten to death. Police found Mallove's missing Dodge Caravan several hours later in a Foxwoods Resort Casino employee parking lot. At the time of the incident, police said several items, which they did not identify, were missing. Lt. Timothy Menard of the Norwich Police Department subsequently released details about the missing items. He said the items could have been discarded or perhaps sold or traded for drugs. On Friday, Menard again released the list of missing items. It included Mallove's wallet, which contained identification and credit cards; a Sanyo 4900 cellular telephone, which was in a heavy-duty carrying case; a Sony digital camera, model No. DSC P9, which says “Cyber Shot” and 4.0 mega pixels on the front; and the camera's case, which says Sony Cybershot on the front; and Mallove's gold wedding band, which had a unique inscription. Police also want to speak with any long-time friends of the Mallove family who live in the Norwich area and have not spoken with police. Menard said they could be of assistance in the police investigation. He said every lead is still being followed up and that physical evidence is still being forensically examined. Menard and the Mallove family “strongly encourage” anyone who might have information related to the crime, or to activity at the Salem Turnpike residence to contact Detective John Dolan at 860-885-5561, ext. 152, the detective division at extension 120, or the department's anonymous tip line at ext. 500.  Second suspect implicated in Mallove killing By GREG SMITH Norwich Bulletin Mallove WHAT'S NEXT   Gary McAvoy, 43, was arrested June 1 on the charge of felony murder in the May 14, 2004, slaying of New Hampshire scientist Dr. Eugene F. Mallove, 56, a native of Norwich.   McAvoy is scheduledto appear Wednesday in New London Superior Court for a probable cause hearing. It is a preliminary hearing held before a serious criminal case goes to trial. Based on evidence and testimony, a judge will decide whether McAvoy "probably" did commit the crime he is charged with or move to dismiss the case. McAvoy could decide to waive his right to a hearing. THE MCAVOY FILE   Gary McAvoy, 43, is incarcerated at MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institution in Suffield, serving a five-year prison term on the charge of third-degree larceny. He was sentenced Dec. 14, 2004, and his maximum release date is listed as Aug. 31, 2009. McAvoy   NORWICH-- Gary McAvoy, 43, cried and curled up into the fetal position when he was first questioned about the murder of Eugene Mallove two days earlier in Norwich, according to police. On May 16, 2004, Norwich Police Detective Corey Poore asked McAvoy and a suspected co-conspirator about what had happened at 119 Salem Turnpike in Norwich the night of May 14. It was the night New Hampshire scientist and Norwich native Mallove was brutally killed outside his childhood home. "I can't, I can't," McAvoy told police while shaking his head from side to side and stating he couldn't handle it and wanted to commit suicide, according to an arrest warrant affidavit recently unsealed in the case. McAvoy is scheduled to appear Wednesday in New London Superior Court for a probable cause hearing. New details about the investigation are revealed in the affidavit used in McAvoy's arrest, including the name of McAvoy's alleged accomplice. Joseph Reilly, 39, of 390 Long Cove Road in Groton was with McAvoy when the pair was picked up by New Britain police May 16, 2004, in a vehicle stolen from Groton on the day of the killing. Police noticed Reilly had deep cuts and scratches to his legs, along with cuts on his hands. Both had blood on their clothes. Under questioning, both admitted abusing crack over the past week, committing several burglaries and stealing at least one vehicle. Both men, with past drug- and larceny-related arrests, are in prison on charges unrelated to the murder. When asked, they remembered details of May 14, such as stealing a Nissan Altima and a television from Paul's TV in Groton, smoking crack or eating at a local soup kitchen. Reilly at one point asked whether the "old man," was beaten and was it "two guys that did it or one?" Neither of the men revealed information crucial to the murder investigation. Night of the murder On May 14 at 10:50 p.m., police were dispatched to a home at 119 Salem Turnpike in Norwich to aid emergency medical personnel from American Ambulance and the East Great Plain Fire Department. A woman had stopped by the home to inquire about renting the home and had found Mallove on the ground. Arriving officers found Mallove's body near the rear of the home. There was a Dumpster in the driveway filled with garbage he had been cleaning out of the rental property. Mallove was covered in blood, lying near several pools of blood with spatters on the home, nearby vehicle and clothing. With his clothing disheveled and torn, police believed Mallove had been involved in a violent struggle. An autopsy later revealed numerous injuries to the face, neck and head, 32 lacerations caused by a blunt instrument to his face and a knife wound in his right forearm. Mallove's trachea had been crushed and the medical examiner later determined it to be the cause of death. Police investigate A vital clue in the killing was Mallove's missing van, found hours after the crime at a Foxwoods employee parking lot off Route 2 in Preston. The van was immediately recognizable by the sticker in the back window that read www.infinite-energy.com, the name of an organization Mallove founded that publicized advances in new energy sources. On May 15, Norwich police officer Chris Callaway interviewed a shuttle bus driver from Microtel Inn and Suites in Montville. The driver had seen Mallove's van and its driver near the Mohegan Sun parking lot that night. The diver was wearing a sock on his left hand. The witness later picked Reilly out of a photograph lineup. Meanwhile, forensic examination of the blood on the suspects' clothes did not aid the investigation. Mallove's DNA was not found among the samples of blood. Blood found in the stolen van and at the murder scene was Mallove's. Inmates and former cell mates of McAvoy and Reilly offered further information, however, to bolster the case against the pair. On Nov. 3, 2004 the New London County State's Attorney Office received a letter from an inmate who claimed to have information. The inmate had overheard "Joe," say something about, "an old man dying." "Joe" told the inmate he and his partner robbed an old man and his partner must have taken the van," according to the affidavit. The inmate identified Reilly as "Joe." According to an inmate housed with McAvoy at the Hartford Correctional Center, McAvoy talked about a murder, how he had beaten a guy up, leaving him near a Dumpster, police said. On June 1, more than a year after the killing, Norwich police arrested McAvoy on the charge of felony murder. Norwich police Lt. Timothy Menard Monday declined to discuss Reilly's involvement, but said an arrest warrant has been submitted for the arrest of a second man in the Mallove case. "There will be another arrest. I'm confident McAvoy did not act alone," Menard said. But details in the death of Mallove still elude police. "In spite of the arrest, there are still some unanswered questions," Menard said. "If there is anyone else out there with information, we would appreciate a call." Norwich police may be reached at 886-5561 or the anonymous tip line at 886-5561, Ext. 500. gasmith@norwichbulletin.com Originally published July 12, 2005     Second suspect charged in beating death July 27, 2005, 7:12 AM EDT NORWICH, Conn. -- Police have charged a second suspect with murder in last year's beating death of a New Hampshire science writer at a home in Norwich.

O'Leary Calls for Mankind to  Harmonize with Zero Point Energy

Dr. Brian O'Leary Addressed the New Energy Movement Conference in Portland, Sept. 26, 3004. Aiming for energy solutions that are clean, have zero emissions, are affordable to everyone on the planet, feasible and reliable, benign (no weapons use), decentralized, and are publicly accountable (no secrets).

Brian O'Leary opened the second day of the New Energy Movement conference held at Portland State University. The college campus, O'Leary's longish hair and casual attire, plus the liberalism that pervades Oregon created a seventies deja vu. Even his last name and Alma mater, UC Berkley, evoked images of the seventies. It was enough to make a baby-boomer feel like a college student again.

Dr. O'Leary proclaimed the truism that if we keep going in the direction we are going, we will get there. Instead, we need to determine new goals and move towards a more conscious future. "To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men," he said, quoting Abraham Lincoln. "We want," he stated, "energy sources which are clean, cheap, decentralized, benign and that are accountable to the public."

The solutions O'Leary offered, called social and personal action steps, were a mix of science and religion or spirituality. He advocated a Green Peace Treaty and a Global Green Democracy. On the spiritual side we need to realize, he claimed, that the world is a reflection of our inner self and until we clean up our own inner and outer spaces, the world will not reflect harmony.

We resonate with ZPE, he avowed, stating the spoon bending experiments he has been involved with show our influence on the biosphere. “Human intentions can influence the universe.” Dr O’Leary mentioned Clive Baxter’s experiments where plants respond to thinking. He expanded his subject to one of the most common elements of our biosphere: water. He talked about the hidden messages from water and how clean water is harmonic and orderly and fouled water shows up as deformed and disharmonic.

Water is the oil of the 21st century, he asserted.

O’Leary acknowledged that there are environmentalists who will fight New Energy despite its lack of pollutants. They fear bigger and more of everything with New Energy and prefer a more pristine environment. He postulated we need to bring it out in the open and have intelligent social and political debates about energy.

Brian also suggested we adopt a Manifesto for Sustainability. “Together we need to create a new science of consciousness that includes quantum physics, parapsychology and alternative healing as well as zero-point energy research.” Most of all he claims we need to get beyond materialism, reductionism and self-determination and consider the effect to the whole.

Brian O'Leary firmly believes that the solution to our energy problems lies in social activism and joint advocacy along with altruistic and public funding from Joe Q Public. While the enemy corporations rape the planet for their own selfish gains, O'Leary advocates strength in numbers.

"No more martyrs!" he repeated. Was that Martin Luther King he was speaking of or Gene Mallove? It was hard to remember.
