	~~==Biography==~~		'''Dr. Patrick G. Bailey''' is an American research scientist and engineer trained in nuclear engineering. He spent his professional career at institutions including the Electric Power Research Institute and the Lockheed Space and Missiles Company, and is known as a long-time advocate of "new energy" research. In 1991 he co-founded the [[Institute for New Energy]] (INE), which he has served as president since 1992, and he later edited its newsletter, ''New Energy News''.

	~~Dr. Patrick G. Bailey received his BS from UC Berkeley in Engineering Physics,~~ and his S.M. and PhD from MIT, both in Nuclear Engineering with a minor in Physics. At UCB, he was in Air Force ROTC and was also a 4 year letterman in varsity gymnastics, where the team won 2nd in the NCAA in 1966. His claim to fame from that period is that he is the "Pat" in the book "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior," authored by a team mate on the same team, Dan Millman. While at MIT, Patrick learned that one must always play by the rules on the field, and not always in a peaceful manner. During his 5 years at MIT, Patrick played rugby with the MIT Rugby Team, usually as #8, and the team won the New England North-East Championship in 1969. During this time he received his nickname "Shotgun," for his ability to look so calm and collected, before smashing out in full force. After MIT he served in the United States Air Force as a Nuclear Research Officer, rising to the rank of Captain [TS], where he was in charge, with two other Captains, of the DoD Nuclear Safety Program of the first launch of Plutonium-238 into space. At that time, his analysis of the relative safety of that launch was forwarded to the President of the United States for his signature and approval. During that time, he also served for two years as an Adjunct Professor of Graduate Nuclear Engineering at the University of New Mexico, both in class lectures, and in the Nuclear Engineering Laboratory with various radionuclides. After an Honorable Discharge from the USAF, he worked at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory for three years in numerical computer simulations of commercial nuclear reactor systems. He then accepted a position at the Electric Power Research Institute, in Palo Alto, CA, where he was a Project Manager and Program Manager in the Nuclear Power Division and the Safety and Analysis Department, for 8 years. After the Three Mile Island incident, he moved over to the Lockheed Space and Missiles Company, in Palo Alto and Sunnyvale, CA, (now known as Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company) [EBI/S/TS]. He was for many years a Senior Electrical Engineer, and he was retired from LM in 2011. He continued playing rugby in the USAF, at UNM, at Santa Fe, and for the Bay Area Touring Side (the BATS) in the SF Bay Area, for about 8 years. He still uses those same rules and techniques in scientific discussions and in life ~~in general.~~		==Education and early life==

	~~Dr.~~ Bailey ~~was also for many years involved with the "Intersociety Energy Conversion~~ Engineering ~~Conference" (~~the ~~IECEC). This annual summer conference was sponsored for many years by the seven major technical societies in the United States: the ACS, AIAA, AIChE, ANS, ASME, IEEE~~, ~~and the SAE. One society ran the conference in turn each year~~, and Dr. ~~Bailey was one of the two IECEC Steering Committee members for the American Nuclear Society during that time~~. ~~He was also the IECEC Technical Program Chairman of the ANS sponsored IECEC conferences (5 days, 800 papers) in 1984 (San Francisco)~~ and in ~~1991 (Boston). The IECEC today has today become a weak shadow of its former self~~, ~~changing its first name to "International," being sponsored only by the AIAA and~~ a ~~Mechanical Engineering Society~~ in ~~Egypt. He continues to be a Senior Member of~~ the ~~Advanced Power Systems Technical Committee~~ of ~~the AIAA in support of the new IECEC conferences, and the annual Space Power Conference sponsored by The Aerospace Corporation~~.		Bailey received a BS in Engineering Physics from the University of California, Berkeley, and both an S.M. and a PhD in Nuclear Engineering, with a minor in Physics, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

	~~During that time,~~ and ~~to the present~~, ~~it became very apparent~~ that ~~conferences run by technical societies within~~ the ~~USA would absolutely not allow any discussions of alternative physics or advanced technologies; as topics taught~~ in ~~college are much safer and approved~~. ~~In order~~ to ~~provide formal discussions and papers for the absolute advancement of science and technology~~, he ~~and Toby Grotz met by both being very active~~ in the ~~meetings~~ of the ~~International Association~~ for ~~New Science and~~ the ~~US Tesla Society~~, ~~both based in Colorado. In 1991, they organized and created~~ the ~~Institute for~~ New ~~Energy (INE). Toby was its first President, and Patrick became its President~~ in ~~1992~~, and ~~has remained so to the present day. Patrick is also~~ the INE website webmaster. Its website is: http://www.padrak.com/ine/. The INE held several annual meetings in Colorado and many papers were published at these conferences, some of which are still available today.		At Berkeley he served in Air Force ROTC and was a four-year letterman in varsity gymnastics, on a team that placed second in the NCAA in 1966. According to Bailey, he is the "Pat" referred to in the book ''The Way of the Peaceful Warrior'', written by his teammate Dan Millman. During his five years at MIT he played for the MIT Rugby Team, usually at number 8; the team won the New England North-East Championship in 1969, and he acquired the nickname "Shotgun."

	Hal Fox became very interested in the INE during its early years, and from his position within the "Emerging Energy Management Fund" (EEMF) group in Salt Lake City, Utah, he became the editor, publisher, and funder of the "New Energy News" (NEN), which became the monthly newsletter (20-30 page newspaper) of the INE. Hal continued publishing the newsletter as a printed mailed newsletter until 1999-2000 when it became an emailed newsletter. Later, Dr. Bailey took over being the contact, the editor and the publisher of the NEN, until it ceased publication for political suppression reasons after May 2005.		==Military service==

	~~Note~~ that ~~all~~ of the ~~email addresses ending with "@padrak~~.~~com" have been targeted, spammed to death~~, and ~~are no longer used~~.		After completing his studies, Bailey served in the United States Air Force as a Nuclear Research Officer, rising to the rank of Captain. He was one of three officers responsible for the Department of Defense Nuclear Safety Program for the first launch of Plutonium-238 into space; his analysis of the relative safety of that launch was forwarded to the President of the United States for signature and approval. During this period he also served for two years as an Adjunct Professor of Graduate Nuclear Engineering at the University of New Mexico, teaching both in the classroom and in the Nuclear Engineering Laboratory.

	Dr. Bailey has been very supportive of the research and publication of the "cold fusion" research since its discovery and its replications in the 1990s, and was instrumental in causing the first paper on successful cold fusion research to be published in his technical session at the 1994 IECEC in Monterey, CA, by Stanford Research Institute, in Menlo Park, CA, where the funding was provided by EPRI.		==Scientific career==

	Dr. Bailey ~~is continuing today~~ to ~~do what~~ he ~~can~~ to ~~support all "~~New Energy ~~Research"~~ and the ~~development~~ of "Advanced Energy ~~Conversion" devices~~. He is ~~an avid supporter~~ of the ~~NPA~~, and ~~would like to create~~ and ~~manage~~ the ~~publication (~~at Stanford, ~~UC Berkeley~~, ~~or at MIT~~) of a volume of ~~the best~~ NPA papers ~~to document their point-~~of~~-view and advantages: especially those that counter the political and stupid ideas being taught in colleges today~~, including the ~~use~~ of the "Lorentz ~~Transformation"~~ and the "Big Bang ~~Theory~~."		Following an honorable discharge from the Air Force, Bailey worked for three years at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory on numerical computer simulations of commercial nuclear reactor systems. He then joined the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in Palo Alto, California, where he was a project and program manager in the Nuclear Power Division and the Safety and Analysis Department for eight years.

			After the Three Mile Island accident, Bailey moved to the Lockheed Space and Missiles Company in Palo Alto and Sunnyvale, California (now Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company), where he worked for many years as a Senior Electrical Engineer. He retired from Lockheed Martin in 2011. He continued to play rugby throughout his career—in the Air Force, at the University of New Mexico, at Santa Fe, and for the Bay Area Touring Side (the BATS)—for about eight years.

			==New energy advocacy==

			===Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference===

			For many years Bailey was involved with the Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference (IECEC), an annual conference historically sponsored by seven major U.S. technical societies: the ACS, AIAA, AIChE, ANS, ASME, IEEE, and SAE. Each society ran the conference in turn, and Bailey was one of two IECEC Steering Committee members representing the American Nuclear Society. He served as IECEC Technical Program Chairman for the ANS-sponsored conferences in 1984 (San Francisco) and 1991 (Boston), each spanning five days and some 800 papers. He has remained a Senior Member of the AIAA's Advanced Power Systems Technical Committee.

			===Institute for New Energy===

			Bailey has said that U.S. technical-society conferences would not permit discussion of alternative physics or advanced technologies. To provide a venue for such work, he and Toby Grotz—both active in the International Association for New Science and the U.S. Tesla Society in Colorado—organized the Institute for New Energy (INE) in 1991. Grotz was its first president; Bailey became president in 1992 and also serves as the INE webmaster. The institute's website is http://www.padrak.com/ine/. The INE held several annual meetings in Colorado at which many papers were published.

			===New Energy News===

			Hal Fox, of the Emerging Energy Management Fund (EEMF) group in Salt Lake City, Utah, became the editor, publisher, and funder of ''New Energy News'' (NEN), a monthly newsletter of the INE. Fox published it as a printed, mailed newsletter until 1999–2000, after which it became an emailed newsletter. Bailey later took over as its contact, editor, and publisher until it ceased publication after May 2005.

			===Cold fusion===

			Bailey has supported cold fusion research since the claimed discovery and replications of the 1990s. He was instrumental in having what he describes as the first paper on successful cold fusion research presented in his technical session at the 1994 IECEC in Monterey, California, by the Stanford Research Institute of Menlo Park, California, with funding from EPRI.

			==Views==

			Bailey is a supporter of the Natural Philosophy Alliance (NPA) and of "new energy" research and "advanced energy conversion" devices. He has expressed interest in publishing a volume of selected NPA papers through a major university, and has been critical of aspects of mainstream physics education, including the teaching of the Lorentz transformation and the Big Bang theory.
