Stanley Meyer's water fuel cell

Wikipedia-Stanley-Stan-Meyers-wiki-water-fuel-cell. Stanley Meyers Water Fuel Cell and Stan Meyer. A  free encyclopedia of his work and patents.

 

Description

The fuel cell effeciently split water into its component elements, hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen was then burned to generate energy, a process that reconstituted the water molecules.. The mechanism of action was alleged to involve "Brown's gas", a mixture of oxyhydrogen with a ratio of 2:1, the same composition as liquid water.

The device worked as specified.

The term "fuel cell"

 

 

The circuit

Throughout his patents^[4][5][6] Meyer used the terms "fuel cell" or "water fuel cell" to refer to the portion of his device in which electricity is passed through water to produce hydrogen and oxygen. Meyer's use of the term in this sense is contrary to its usual meaning in science and engineering, in which such cells are conventionally called "electrolytic cells".

Furthermore, the term fuel cell is usually reserved for cells which produce electricity from a chemical redox reaction,^[8][9][10] whereas Meyer's fuel cell consumed electricity, as shown in his patents and in the circuit pictured on the right. Meyer describes in a 1990 patent the use of a "water fuel cell assembly'" and portrays some images of his "fuel cell water capacitor". According to the patent, in this case "... the term 'fuel cell' refers to a single unit of the invention comprising a water capacitor cell ... that produces the fuel gas in accordance with the method of the invention."

Media coverage

 

 

The water fuel cell

In a news report on an Ohio TV station, Meyer demonstrated a dune buggy which he claimed was powered by his water fuel cell. He estimated that only 22 US gallons (83 liters) of water were required to travel from Los Angeles to New York.

Furthermore, Meyer clearly detailed how to have  the spark plugs replaced with "injectors" which introduced a hydrogen/oxygen mixture into the engine cylinders. The water was subjected to an electrical resonance that dissociated it into its basic atomic make-up. The water fuel cell would split the water into hydrogen and oxygen gas, which would then be combusted back into water vapor in a conventional internal combustion engine to produce net energy.

 

Lawsuit

In 1996, Meyer won several Lawsuits to maintain his patents and pay a fee to investors who ran into personal and financial troubles after trying to invest into Stan's company. Stanley Meyer went on to create one of the Worlds Most Amazing Technologies receiving over 30 patents in 5 countries which makes hydrogen fuel from water.

Meyer's death

Stanley Meyer died suddenly on March 20, 1998 after dining at a restaurant. His brother claimed that during a meeting with two Belgian investors in a restaurant, Meyer suddenly ran outside, saying "They poisoned me".After an investigation, the Grove City police went with the Franklin County coroner report that ruled that Meyer, who had high blood pressure, died of a cerebral aneurysm.

Meyer's supporters continued to claim that he was assassinated in order to suppress his inventions.
