Arie DeGeus Research and Death
A brief review of the abundant and very significant work of the late
Arie M. DeGeus, and the primary surviving associates.
by Tim Ventura of AmericanAntigravity.com
I spoke with Arie DeGeus on many occasions over the last 3 years before his recent
and untimely demise. (Ref.)
It appears that he had a professional relationship with Tom Bearden as well, which doesn't surprise me given the remarkable scope of Tom's contacts.
In addition to Tom Bearden, there are probably two people in the world who can truly comment on his latest research: the most well-versed is Joseph Phelan, followed closely by Michael McDonnough. Phelan is an interesting contact, as he was a former petroleum technology-engineer who gave up his career a few years back after reading DeGeus lengthy book. McDonnough was briefly a business partner of DeGeus, and despite a falling out
uninitiated by some "overly enthusiastic" investors, McDonnough has remained highly optimistic on DeGeus work.
Unfortunately, I believe that Tom's commentary on DeGeus research may have led a few people into tunnel-vision on the true scope of DeGeus work - he had multiple inventions in many different areas of technology, and always described them as practical expressions of his vortex-energy theory - a rigorous and very well developed model of psuedo-fluid-dynamics physics that's very similar in concept to the work of Pharis E. Williams (a highly respected college professor).
I won't fault Tom for a second in his choice of which technology to discuss in his letter - after all, I think one of the hardest choices when talking about a prolific inventor's achievements is the process of triage that goes into which inventions
and ideas actually get promoted. However, I cannot stress enough the breadth and
depth of scope involved with DeGeus research.
While I cannot personally vouch for the workability of DeGeus inventions, I can vouch for the integrity, credibility, and intelligence of both Michael McDonnough and Joe Phelan - and both have told me on numerous
occasions about the real value of DeGeus research and discoveries. The Plasmavolt, which I covered on American Antigravity, was claimed to be a working fusion energy generator based on a new model of heavy-nuclei fusion in the sun, and was tested extensively by Michael McDonnough, who reported success with the device before the venture-capital incident closed down his lab. I can also confirm some of the story told by Tom Bearden in his letter about extracting energy from Brownian motion (although I cannot confirm that it actually works in practice).
One additional invention that captivated my interest was the apparent perfection of a "cold-current" electrical generator by DeGeus. In principle, this device worked by extracting energy from electrons
and lowering them to a sub-normal kinetic state (while retaining their normal electrical fields). In essence, when these electrons are run through normal circuitry, the result is that the components that normally heat up (resistors, microchips, etc) now run cold, in direct proportion to their electrical resistance. The applications for this technology alone are worth billions of dollars in the semiconductor
and computer industry, which as we all know faces severe challenges with heat-dissipation in modern electronics. DeGeus work in this area appears to have exceeded even that of Peter Lindemann, who is generally thought to have done most of the work in this area of study...
In one of my final conversations with Arie - around March of 2007 - we spoke about his professional relationship and friendship with our mutual acquaintance Dr. Eugene Mallove. From personal experience, I can attest that Mallove was also a supporter of DeGeus work, but found it difficult to work around Arie's eccentric schedule, which made regular communication between the two difficult.
Arie could be described as a headstrong man, but in my conversations with him, I gathered the very real impression that in his heart he was a humanitarian and truly believed in the world-changing potential of the work he was doing. DeGeus had numerous opportunities to capitalize on venture-capital investment, but turned away the majority of offers due to concerns about his technologies being "locked away" for proprietary use, when he believed they had the potential to change the world for everyone.
That belief was something that Mallove echoed as well, both personally as well as in his description of DeGeus' approach to innovation. I should note that while the two had disagreements at times over points of technical concern, DeGeus' comments about Mallove were fond memories of shared values and an exploration of science that they had in common.
DeGeus was fortunate enough to have the private funds at his disposal to allow him the freedom to conduct the majority of his research without having to struggle for financing - and in our conversations, he mentioned working with contacts in South America and Europe to build partnerships to further develop these technologies. As I recall, one of those contacts was in the oil-industry, and Arie had been speaking with this individual about getting that industry involved with capitalizing on his research.
I have no idea whether DeGeus was murdered or simply passed of natural causes, but regardless of his cause of death, it is just as great a tragedy that his work didn't receive the recognition while he was alive that it seems to be getting now that he's passed. In a world filled with innovators, this is nobody's fault in particular, but it remains nonetheless saddening that he wasn't able to see more public interest in his work during his lifetime. However, as with most artists, often the greatest recognition comes after their passing.
I hope that the small amount of information that I've been able to share is helpful in fleshing out the memory of Arie DeGeus, and I would defer to Joe Phelan and Michael McDonnough for further information on his work
and life.
