Integrity Research Institute

What Integrity Research Institute does

Integrity Research Institute (IRI) is a Maryland-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable institution founded in 1994 and led by President Dr. Thomas Valone. The organization is dedicated to researching, documenting, and advocating for breakthrough and unconventional energy technologies — including zero point energy, electrogravitics, low energy nuclear reactions (LENR/cold fusion), homopolar generators, and Nikola Tesla wireless power transmission — as well as bioelectromagnetics. It has no paid staff, operating entirely on volunteers, and serves students, independent energy researchers and inventors, electrotherapy practitioners, and the general donor public.

IRI's product surface spans four streams: an extensive catalog of books, DVDs, CDs, and conference proceedings (including 11+ editions of the Conference on Future Energy plus the Tesla Energy Science Conference and LENREW workshop); a hardware line of bioelectric/electrotherapy devices (EM Pulser at $295, the Premier Junior series at $495-$795, and the Premier 2500 at $4,995); a tiered membership program ($39 individual to $5,000 company associate, plus a $1,000 lifetime tier); and tax-deductible donations processed through Network for Good. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the IRI website, with books also sold on Amazon and conference DVDs through Lost Arts Media.

The business model is a hybrid of community-led nonprofit revenue mechanics — recurring subscriptions, one-time content sales, episodic hardware sales, and donations — underwritten by 30 years of accumulated niche content and a community of researchers, students, and supporters drawn to unconventional energy research that is underrepresented in mainstream science. IRI holds GuideStar Gold status for organizational transparency and maintains a Future Energy eNews newsletter via Constant Contact as its primary marketing channel.

Core offering

Integrity Research Institute is a nonprofit that researches, documents, and publishes information on breakthrough and alternative energy technologies (zero point energy, electrogravitics, LENR, Tesla wireless power, homopolar generators, bioelectromagnetics). It sells books, conference DVDs, and bioelectric therapy devices (EM Pulser, PREMIER series), and operates paid membership and donation programs that fund its research and annual conferences.

Product overview

Integrity Research Institute (IRI) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable institution that researches and publishes information on breakthrough energy technologies. Rather than a unified software product, IRI offers a portfolio of educational publications, research programs, and physical bioelectric products. The publication portfolio includes books (such as Dr. Thomas Valone's works on Zero Point Energy and Electrogravitics), conference proceedings (COFE 1-11), DVDs from energy conferences, and research reports. The physical products include the EM Pulser (pulsed electromagnetic therapy device) and the PREMIER series of Photonic Rejuvenation Energizing Machines (PREMIER 2500 and Junior models 100-500) for electrotherapy applications. IRI also operates research programs focused on Zero Point Energy, Tesla Technologies, Spiral Magnetic Motors, and Low Energy Nuclear Reactions, while hosting conferences including COFE, Tesla Energy Science Conference, and the Conference on Energy & Accountability.
