Stanley Meyer: Water Car Inventor (Murdered March 27, 1998) (Video)
I personally believe in the concept see more here but maybe there is still a element of doubt if he really achieved what he said in running his car using the Water Fuel Cell. He may have thought he had something and just wanted to source more funds so he could fulfill his dream? You have just got to keep a open mind! I still believe In the concept 100% and I believe as I think Stanley did that this will revolutionize the world in using Voltage (Potential Energy) to disassociate the water molecule.
Have you ever thought about water as a fuel source?
The atomic make up of water makes the molecule perfect for a fuel source. The water molecule is composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. When the water molecule is separated into its component atoms (H and O) and oxidized as fuel, the resulting energy is two and one half times more powerful than gasoline. The byproduct of the combustion is water vapor. Making water as a fuel, powerful and pollution free!
The problem has always been how to separate water economically. Traditional methods of separating the bond of the water molecule have resulted in failure. To power a car by these methods would not move the car very far. The car’s electrical system could not recharge from the process quickly enough. The result would be a quickly drained battery. For many years Stanley Meyer researched this problem and found a way around it!
There are many people, as you could well imagine, who would not like to see this technology appear in the market place.
Stanley A. Meyer died on March 27 1998 at the young age of 57. It is vital that his research and resulting technological advances are not lost, but rather that his work is continued.

Stan Meyer's Water Powered Dune Buggy
Meyer has demonstrated his fuel cell device before Professor Michael Laughton, Dean of Engineering at Mary College, London, Admiral Sir Anthony Griffin, a former controller of the British Navy, and Dr Keith Hindley, a UK research chemist. According to the witnesses, the most startling aspect of the Meyer cell was that it remained cold, even after hours of gas production as his system appeared to operate on mere milliamperes, rather than the amperes that conventional electrolysis would require. The witnesses also stated:
"After hours of discussion between ourselves, we concluded that Stan Meyer did appear to have discovered an entirely new method for splitting water which showed few of the characteristics of classical electrolysis. Confirmation that his devices actually do work come from his collection of granted US patents on various parts of the WFC system. Since they were granted under Section 101 by the US Patent Office, the hardware involved in the patents has been examined experimentally by US Patent Office experts and their seconded experts and all the claims have been established."
Water fueled Car
It Runs on Water is a video with Stanley Meyer demonstrating the water fuel cell in a car. Meyer claimed that he could run a 1.6 liter Volkswagen Dune Buggy on water instead of gasoline. He replaced the spark plugs with "injectors" to spray a fine mist into the engine cylinders, which he claimed were electrified at a resonant frequency. The fuel cell would split water into hydrogen and oxygen gas, which would combust back into water vapor in a conventional hydrogen engine to produce net energy. Estimates made showed that only 22 US gallons (83 L) of water were required to travel from one US coast to the other. Meyer also demonstrated his vehicle for his city's local news station Action 6 News. A video of the buggie in action can be found here.
Fraud charges
It failed to work during a required demonstration of the water-fueled car in a 1990 court case. An Ohio court found Stanley Meyer guilty of "gross and egregious fraud" in a case brought against him by disgruntled investors. The court decided that the centerpiece of the car, his water fuel cell, was a conventional electrolysis device, and he was ordered to repay the investors $25,000.[1]
However, in their 1 December 1996 issue , the London Sunday Times published an article entitled "End of Road for Car that Ran on Water" by Tony Edwards. It upheld the court case, stating that three "Expert Witnesses" were not impressed and decided that the WFC was simply using conventional electrolysis. It stated Stan Meyer was found guilty of "gross and egregious fraud" and was ordered to repay the investors their $25,000. It implied that Michael Laughton, professor of electrical engineering at Queen Mary and Westfield University, London was due to examine the car, but was not allowed to see it. However, not mentioned was that this occurred in 1990 and that the WFC Water Fuel injector tech-base was still under U.S. National Security Review as in accordance to U.S. Patent Law and not available for public viewing. Also not mentioned were the many WFC Patents, verified laboratory and university testing that supports the bases of WFC technology nor the WFC appeal filing to dismiss Judge Corzine ruling due to Judicial default and other relevant information.[2]
On 18 October 1995, a pretrial deposition hearing to inspect the WFC Dealership demonstration units (Variable-plate Electrical Polarization Process (VIC) Fuel Cell and Rotary Pulse Voltage Frequecy Generator Tubular-Array Fuel Cell) was held in the office of the plaintiff's attorney, Robert Judkins. Present were the plaintiff's, their attorneys, plaintiffs expert witness, Michael Leverich (Electronics Engineer), Stan Meyer, Dr. Russel Fowler, WFC witness and defense attorneys Judge Roger Hurley and James Detling, as well as a deposition recorder. During the deposition, Attorney Judkins attempted to have the WFC dismantled prior to implementing proper test procedures, which Stan Meyer refused. Michael Leverich confirmed that his initial measurements of the WFC Fuel Cells showed that it operated exactly as the WFC documentation stated it should, as so recorded on WFC Deposition Video Tape. However, he then added a unknown white substance (powder) for additional testing. Stan objected to this, since the WFC Fuel Cell uses plain tap water and does not require a chemical additive. The plaintiffs also admitted that, during their observances at WFC Dealship Seminars, tap water was always used without any chemicals added to the water. Despite Stan's objection, plaintiff measurements were taken of this chemicallized water-bath and recorded. This illegal act of tampering with WFC Evidence of Records was witnessed by WFC Cameraman, Dr. Russ Fowler, and all others who attended Plaintiffs Deposition To-Test.[3]
In 1996, Stan Meyer gave oral testimony before the court demonstrating the WFC Fuel Cell "Mode of Operability" by using the Voltage Intensifier Circuit (VIC) to produce voltage of opposite polarity to separate and disassociate the water molecule into its component gases, hydrogen & oxygen. However, the court audio sound recording equipment seemed to malfunction and was switched off. Judge Corzine said proceedings should continue without it. This was a violation of judicial protocol, since the recording system is used to verify testimony given during the trial and as such becomes "Evidence of Records." After his oral testimony, Stan expected Attorney/Judge Hurley to start bringing forth WFC witnesses and counter arguements. Instead, Attorney/Judge Hurley spoke up, stated he had to leave for a pre-planned vacation and said that there was no more testimony to be given and waived the right of the defendant to give a case summary of the WFC facts brought before the court. Stan Meyer immediately stated he would protest and Judge Corzine ended the hearing. Stan wrote a "Request to Retract" fax-letter to the Sunday Times on 2 December 1996. He attached WFC documentation on the filing with the Disciplinary Counsel. He further stated that Judge Corzine had no right to turn off the court audio sound recording equipment, nor to rule against U.S. Patents, or overrule Government and University lab reports in the public domain concerning the mode of operability of the WFC Technology. Furthermore, Stan pointed out that no US Federal "Cease and Desist" order has ever been issued against WFC since the WFC Technology has been fully legalized under US Patent Security Law 35 USC 101 and other US Federal regulatory Acts. His final statement was that "WFC is here to stay" in contradiction to the Sunday Times statement.[4]

Project Energy: Better Fuel Efficiency?

(WCCO) Drive wherever, whenever and whatever we want. That's the American way.
But there's mounting proof that our love affair with the car threatens our national security and the health of our planet.
Steve Meyers wants to do something about it. He’s a Golden Valley, Minn. inventor who’s re-designed a jet engine for the Air Force. He even saved a nuclear reactor from melting down.
Now he’s developing a car engine that could reduce America's dependence on foreign oil and cut global warming.
"What our technology does is reduce the consumption of gasoline," Meyers said.
With water.
Meyer’s process modifies tap water into a power fuel which, he says, can improve fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust.
"It's environmentally the right choice," Meyers said. It might be a long shot. But something's got to be done.
The world consumes an Olympic swimming pool full of oil every 15-seconds. That's almost 250 times in an hour.
The majority of it — used for transportation. America represents 4 percent of the world's population, but we use about a quarter of the world's oil — much of it for driving people and products where they need to go.
In this country, transportation accounts for almost 70 percent of all the oil we use.
"You win the energy war by addressing transportation," said Matt Simmons, who leads the world's largest energy investment bank, based in Houston, Texas. "It's the single most important issue facing the world over the next 50 years," Simmons said.
So, what can we do about it?
"We've got to get deadly serious about fuel efficiency,” said Randy Udall who is a leading advocate for renewable energy and efficiency — based in Aspen, Colorado.
He said we can improve our gas mileage by using the technology we have today.
"We know how to make vehicles now that get 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 miles to the gallon. They don't need to be small. They don't need to be unsafe,” Udall said. “In fact, they can probably be more comfortable and have more amenities than the ones we're driving right now."
So if it's not an issue of technology — then why don't we do it?
In the 1970's, President Jimmy Carter didn't have hybrid cars or alternative fuels. But he still drove average fuel efficiency from 12-miles per gallon to 28-and-a-half miles per gallon.
"Since I left office, as you know, the restraints have been dropped,” said former president Jimmy Carter. “So now the average automobile efficiency it's dropped down to about like it was when I became president almost 25 years ago.”
It's dropped — in part — because of the SUV.
A vehicle America fell in love with when gas was cheaper.
But heavier vehicles — like SUVs — are exempt from tougher fuel efficiency standards. And there are millions of them on the road.
"There's a middle ground,” said Dr. Ken Keller. He’s a former president of the University of Minnesota — where he now teaches energy policy.
Keller says it is about fuel efficiency — But people also need to use less gas by combining errands — sharing rides — or using mass transit.
"I don't think we can live with total license that we can do anything we want and continue to do more of it,” said Keller. “But I don't think that what we're talking about is a future in which we totally change our lifestyle."
"This is not Jimmy Carter's we're all gonna suffer," said Republican Senator Norm Coleman.
Traditionally, "green" issues belonged exclusively to Democrats — but not anymore. Coleman supports tighter fuel efficiency standards.
And using alternative fuels like ethanol, made from corn.
"This is a national security threat. Dependence on foreign oil threatens to undermine the security of the United States of America, today. And certainly in the future," said Coleman.
"For energy policy to be effective, it has be enduring. It has to be bi-partisan,” said efficiency expert Randy Udall. “You have to have Democrats and Republicans side by side, promoting these policies."
One interesting policy plan was introduced this session at the State capitol.
It encourages Ford to convert its troubled St. Paul plant to build hybrid cars, that run on ethanol, and can be charged up with electricity when you get home.
Fuel efficiency could be well over 100-miles per gallon — all with available technology.
Ford is yet to be convinced.
"It's inevitable that we will some day have a motor fleet that gets 40 miles to the gallon. And if it's inevitable, we ought to be doing it sooner rather than later," said Udall.
Inventor Steve Meyers says, eventually, his gas-saving invention could be retrofitted onto almost kind of vehicle.
"We have the science we have the knowledge, all we need to do is put it together and use them," Meyers said.
And if we already have what we need to get started right now ... he says, just imagine what's next.
