Arie DeGeus, the inventor of a new and affordable clean energy technology, was found unconscious in his car at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina on November 11, 2007. He was taken to the hospital and later died, with the official cause of death being stated as heart failure or natural causes. However, those involved in DeGeus’s research have expressed doubt about this explanation, citing his good health and the fact that DeGeus was planning to secure funding for his technology in Europe.

The technology, which has the potential to make oil obsolete, involves a thin wafer-like material that aligns atoms or electron currents in a way that allows it to produce constant power at a low voltage.

Tom Bearden, a well-known figure in the clean energy industry, has written about DeGeus, his death, and the technology, speculating that DeGeus may have been the victim of a technology that uses an electromagnetic beam to disrupt the body’s control of its heartbeat. Bearden claims to have experienced this himself, along with colleague Ken Moore, while at a restaurant. DeGeus had recently demonstrated the technology to a group in Salt Lake City who were also seeking funding for its development, and they have stated that others know how the technology works and plan to continue its advancement despite DeGeus’s passing.
