ENERGY of the FUTURE - R&Z - Vol 2 No. 1, 1990

Interview: Cell now ready for existing cars

There was an urgency in Stan Meyer's voice, booming into the raum&zeit office on Sept. 7, 1990. Chrystyne Jackson had switched on the intercom and Jeane Manning took notes. "We're finalizing pre-engineering of the (hydrogen-powered) car... to head off the Mideast crisis, Meyer said. If a war starts and chemical weapons are used, he added, oil from the Mideast could be contaminated.

Pressure in oil wells internationally is dropping, so even without a war, "we have less than 15 years' supply of oil coming out of the Mideast." The economic base of the world would collapse quickly, if no new source of fuel replaces oil, he added. Therefore a massive international program-similar to the Manhattan Project in level of priority accorded it is needed to develop a hydrogen-based economy.

Meyer referred to the Swiss Association for Free Energy conference last year, where he was a guest speaker. When he listened to scientists there talk about alternative energy possibilities, he was shocked. There was apparently no systems engineering approach, other than his water fuel cell.

The final patent for his water fuel cell technology - the patent on the electrical polarization process-has now been completed. Pre-engineering is "85 percent finalized", and he planned to run his dune buggy powered by the water fuel cell in the November 1990 solar race in Australia. His technology is to be unveiled to representatives of 176 nations this fall in Sweden.

Much information needs to be communicated. Most people think of hydrogen as a volatile fuel. However, Meyer's process "renders hydrogen safer than natural gas".

Following is a memo from Stanley A. Meyer (of Grove City, Ohio),

describing his Quenching Circuit Technology, He explains that this

technology breakthrough allows the water fuel cell technology to

be retrofitted to an existing engine without engine change!

Quenching Circuit Technology

The quenching circuit technology is an combination and integration of several Gas-Processes that uses non-combus tible gases to render hydrogen safer than natural gas.

The "Non-Burnable" gases are used to adjust hydrogen "Burn-Rate" to Fuel- Gas burning levels... recycled to stabi lize Gas-Flame temperatures... inter- mixed to sustain and maintain a hy drogen Gas-Flame... and used to pre- vent Spark-Ignition of supply gases,

The utilization and recycling of the non-combustible gases allows the Water Fuel Cell to become a Ret- rofit Energy System.

The Quenching Circuit Technology is systematically activated and performed In the following way.

Operational Parameters

Spark Ignition Tube

Spark-Ignition Tube (b) is a tubular test apparatus (1/8 diameter) that deter mines and measures the "Bum-Rate" of different types of Burnable Gases intermixed with Ambient Air, as illus trated in Figure 1.1

Spark-Ignitor (a) causes and starts the Burnable Gas Mixture (b) to undergo Gas-Ignition which, in turns, supports and allows Gas Combustion to take place...forming and sustaining a Gas- Flame. The expanding and moving Gas-Flame travels (away from spark- ignitor) the linear length of the gas filled tube (c) and is "detected" and "mea- sured (length between spark-ignitor and light-detector) in one second after gas-Ignition, The Gas-Ignition Process, now, establishes the "Burn-Rate" of a Burnable Gas Mixture in centimeters
