of substance about Degeus, and the search is hindered by the fact that there is another Arie De Geus who is an author and retired executive of Royal Dutch Shell.

A bit from the other Degeus:

Claims 1. Method of generating energy comprising the steps of: a. introducing hydrogen into a reactor vessel, the vessel comprising a cathode, an anode and an ionization element, wherein the cathode comprises a catalyst element having in its nucleus a number of neutrons which is larger than the number of protons and wherein at least one neutron has a preferred orientation, b. ionizing at least a part of the hydrogen with the ionization element to form a plasma, c. applying a voltage differential across the cathode and anode, causing protons to travel to the cathode, bind to the catalyst element's nucleus at instants of low or zero voltage differential, after which being released by attraction from"free"electrons, thus forming "fractional"hydrogen and photons, and d. collecting heat and other photon energy generated in step c. and possibly collecting and storing at least a part of the formed"fractional"hydrogen and/or"bi-electronic"hydrogen.

Sounds kind of vague to me.

I have a really hard time believing that, if such a device worked, it wouldn't be trumpeted around the world. It would be worth billions.
