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 10th
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
(PAGDTM) 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.
Sincerely,
Dr. Eugene F. Mallove

of Energy to give the phenomenon a second look
after 15 years of denial and stonewalling, was
killed in Norwich, CT on 14 May 2004. Few facts
are known, but preliminary information suggests
that it may have been a robbery or possibly a
landlord-tenant dispute. Local police are still
investigating. There is no word on the identity
or motives of the assailant(s) and there is no
evidence currently of a political connection to
his murder.
