June 10, 1997: Cold Fusion & Free Energy - Dr. Eugene Mallove
Published 2 years, 5 months ago
Description
Art Bell welcomes Dr. Eugene Mallove, editor-in-chief of Infinite Energy magazine and former chief science writer at the MIT News Office, to discuss cold fusion technology on the eve of a Good Morning America demonstration. Mallove holds engineering degrees from MIT and a doctorate from Harvard. He reveals that a working prototype water heater by Clean Energy Technologies has been producing hundreds of watts of excess energy continuously since February 1997, using a process related to the Patterson cell.
Mallove presents a damning account of institutional suppression against Pons and Fleischmann''s 1989 cold fusion discovery. He alleges that MIT researchers fudged their experimental data, shifting results that initially showed excess heat to appear negative, and that the director of MIT''s hot fusion laboratory planted fraud allegations against Pons and Fleischmann in the Boston Herald. He argues the motivation was protecting $350 million in annual federal hot fusion funding from even a modest $25 million congressional allocation toward cold fusion research.
The discussion expands to zero-point energy, with Mallove confirming that devices by Dr. Paolo and Alexandra Correa appear to generate electric power from the vacuum. He describes the revolutionary implications of cold fusion: zero fuel cost, no deadly radiation, transmutation of radioactive waste within hours rather than millennia, and compact power sources that could transform space exploration.
