The alleged suppression (or weakening) of the technology is claimed to have occurred since the mid-19th century[6] and allegedly perpetrated by various government agencies, corporate powers,special interest groups, and fraudulent inventors. The special interest groups are usually claimed to be associated with thefossil fuel ornuclear industry,[7][8] whose business model would be threatened.[9][10]
Claims of suppression include:
The claim that the scientific community has controlled and suppressed research into alternative avenues of energy generation via the institutions ofpeer review andacademic pressure.[11]
The claim that devices exist which are capable of extracting significant and usable power from pre-existing unconventional energy reservoirs, such as thequantum vacuum zero point energy, for little or no cost, but are being suppressed.[12][13][14]
Some people who have been claimed to be suppressed, harassed, or killed for their research areStanley Meyer,[17]Eugene Mallove,[18] andNikola Tesla.[19] Free energy proponents claim that Tesla developed a system (theWardenclyffe Tower) that could generate unlimited energy for free. His system was only intended to transmit energy for free; the system's energy would still need to be generated through conventional means.[20]
Proponents of the conspiracy theory includeGary McKinnon, a Scottish computer hacker who unlawfully accessed computer systems to look for evidence of a secret free energy device.[21]
Followers of theTartaria conspiracy theory believe an advanced civilization called Tartaria destroyed by a "mud flood" now covered up by the world's governments once had free wireless energy.[22]
