Eugene F. Mallove (June 9, 1947 - May 14, 2004) was the publisher and editor of Infinite Energy, a magazine, and a strong proponent of cold fusion, zero-point energy (sometimes called vacuum or free energy), and other alternative-energy programs.
Mallove authored the Pulitzer Prize nominated 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, he claims the team did produce "greater-than-unity" output energy in experiment successfully replicated on several occasions, but that the results were suppressed through an organized campaign of ridicule from mainstream scientists trying to protect their research and funding.
Dr. Mallove was president of the non-profit New Energy Foundation and editor in chief of Infinite Energy magazine. He held a B.S. and M.S. in aeronautics and astronomy from MIT University and a Ph.D 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 in new energies.
He was a frequent guest on the American radio program Coast-to-Coast AM because of his work with unorthodox energy sources.
Dr. Mallove taught science journalism at MIT and Boston University and was chief science writer at MIT's news office. He was a top 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 Dr. Gregory Matloff), and the above-noted Fire from Ice: Searching for the Truth Behind the Cold Fusion Furor (1991, John Wiley & Sons). He also published articles for MIT Technology Review, the Washington Post, the New York Times, Popular Science, Wired Magazine, the (now defunct) in-flight magazine TWA Ambassador, and New Hampshire Magazine.
Mallove was killed May 14, 2004 in Norwich, Connecticut, while cleaning a recently vacated rental property owned by his parents, the home he grew up in. Police suspect robbery was the motive, although Mallove's role in the contentious history of cold fusion has resulted in some conspiracy theories about the killing. In 2005, on the first anniversary of the killing, police asked for help from Henry Lee, a high-profile forensic expert who has worked on cases of national reknown.
