Dr. George Egely: Beyond Convention with Solid-State Fusion
Author: Eman Elshaikh
Profession:
Research Engineer
Notable Roles:
Technical Editor of Infinite Energy Magazine, Author, Inventor
Dr. George Egely's journey into the realms of science and engineering has been anything but conventional. His early fascination with the worlds woven by Jules Verne, particularly the "gray zones" of science – those fringe areas where the possible and impossible blur – set the stage for a career marked by curiosity and non-conventional thinking.
Dr. George Egely's journey into the realms of science and engineering has been anything but conventional. His early fascination with the worlds woven by Jules Verne, particularly the "gray zones" of science – those fringe areas where the possible and impossible blur – set the stage for a career marked by curiosity and non-conventional thinking.
Voyages in the Gray Zone
Egely's academic path led him to study engineering at university, focusing on elements of nuclear engineering. His interest in this field deepened after joining the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, where he worked in the Nuclear Energy Research Lab. This period honed his expertise in nuclear science and fueled his fascination with the strange and unexplained. Egely's inquisitive mind often led him to ponder natural phenomena that defy conventional scientific understanding. He recalled, “When I saw, for example, tornadoes, I knew that their mere existence is strictly forbidden…”
A significant turning point in Egely's understanding of energy and engineering came with him serendipitously finding Henry Moray's book "The Sea of Energy on Which the Earth Floats." This work challenged conventional knowledge and encouraged a perspective beyond the accepted norms, a philosophy that Egely embraced in his pursuit of solid-state fusion research.

Forays into Fusion
The discovery of an unknown aspect of nuclear engineering through the Pons-Fleischman announcement was a watershed moment for Egely. It led to an intellectually curious community that he found invigorating. He described this community as "bursting with big ideas as science should be." He was excited that this research opened up ideas of the unknown, especially an unknown aspect of low energy resonance. However, he also experienced the negative side of scientific inquiry, facing what he saw as suppression or censorship, particularly in the field of LENR.
Despite these challenges, Egely's drive for knowledge remained undeterred. When asked why he continued his research despite controversy and danger, he responded, “Curiosity – curiosity is a very strong factor in my life.” After two decades, this unyielding curiosity led him to leave the Nuclear Energy Research Lab to focus on what he called "forbidden energy," which could provide abundant energy to every household if it received enough research effort and funding.
Egely's current work revolves around “catalytic fusion,” a process he believes is most evident in nature, citing the Sun's energy production as an example. “The Sun is producing energy not in the inner core, but in the photosphere around the sun... so it's a dust-related process, a catalytic fusion,” he explained. This research represents a significant departure from conventional energy models.

Solid-State Solution
The urgent environmental crisis serves as another motivator in Egely's work. He sees solid-state fusion as the future, a solution that offers scalability and adaptability to meet various energy needs. He envisions a future where small-scale fusion reactors can power electric vehicles, bicycles, and even airplanes, saying, “If one has a small device... it yields you maybe one kilowatt of energy, then you can use it in micro-mobility.”
Egely’s critical view of hot fusion and its failures further strengthens his belief in the potential of solid-state fusion. He pointed out the decommissioning of a major hot fusion reactor in the United Kingdom and argued the need for alternative fusion research to hot fusion. “It's a complete failure, in my opinion,” he remarked.
Ending on a poignant note, Egely expressed his concern for the future amid the looming threat of environmental collapse. He believes that the survival of humanity may depend on reevaluating what we know and exploring the uncharted territories in science. “If humankind is to survive this imminent climate collapse... there is a chance to figure out that there is much more than meets the eye,” he concluded.
Through this interview, Dr. George Egely’s non-conventional approach and unwavering commitment to uncovering the truth in the 'gray zones' of science shine brightly, painting a picture of a scientist dedicated to challenging the status quo and pioneering new paths in the search for clean energy solutions.

About George Egely
Egely received a mechanical engineering degree from the Technical University of Budapest (Hungary) in 1974. His Ph.D. in energy transport followed in 1982, with a focus on nuclear accidents with pressurized water reactors.
Egely worked at the Nuclear Energy Research Lab of the Hungarian Academy of Science from 1974 to 1990. He was a guest researcher at CISE (Italy) in 1977 for three months, and at Brookhaven National Laboratory (U.S.) for 16 months in 1981-82.
In 1993, Egely formed the Egely Research Co. Ltd., located in Budapest, Hungary. His primary research endeavors have been in the fields of bioenergy, ball lightning, zero point energy and low-energy nuclear reactions.
In 1994, Egely began producing the Egely Wheel Vitality Meter, a portable device for measuring life energy. The product won invention awards at various inventor exhibits.
At the 2012 Zagreb (Croatia) International Exhibition, Egely presented a nano dust fusion reactor that was awarded the Grand Prize by the International Federation of Inventors’ Associations. At this same event, he also received the Gold Prize of the Exhibition and a people’s choice “Most Popular” award. (See IE #106, p. 4, and #102, p. 11.)
Egely’s YouTube channel has dozens of videos (in Hungarian) He has also published a dozen semi-popular books in Hungarian, on subjects such as ball lightning and lost or forgotten effects and inventions. He has compiled a large collection of ball lightning observations by eyewitnesses.
In addition to the paper and letter on nano dust fusion, in 2013 Egely published a three-part series “Fusion by Pseudo-Particles” in Infinite Energy. Later this year, he will author a column for Infinite Energy called “Forgotten Patents.”
