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 was a frequent guest on Coast-to-Coast AM because of his work with alternative energy.
A skilled scientist who had formerly dismissed such "fringe" claims himself, 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, 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 Laboratories, and he consulted in research and development in new energies. Dr. Mallove taught science journalism at MIT and Boston University and was chief science writer at MIT's news office. He was also a top science writer and broadcaster with the Voice of America radio service and author of three science books and numerous published articles.
Mallove was killed May 14, 2004 in Norwich, Connecticut, while cleaning a recently vacated rental property, a home where he had spent part of his youth. Police suspect robbery was the motive, though the murder's dampening effect on his investigative work in a field of potentially enormous threat to the petroleum energy industry generated immediate suspicions among conspiracy theorists of strategic foul play.
