A car that runs on water! Not only possible but probable. Stanley Meyer has come up with a series of inventions, including a revolutionary hydrogen generator system that when fitted to an ordinary automobile will allow it to run on water.

And this is just the latest in a long line of discoveries for Meyer.

Since 1976 he has been working on "an independent energy source."

Now he has completed a system that will produce total electricity plus heat for a hot water tank at the home of Bob and Valerie Hughes, 222 Marian Drive.

The system is an integrated design, using many parts working together, plus the resources of sun, air, and water.

The basic system breaks water into components hydrogen and oxygen, then renders the hydrogen gas safer than natural gas.

In building the energy system Meyer invented some amazing new devices which also led to discovery of the water-powered car concept.

Meyer came up with a new steam engine which has a larger torque capacity and only one moving part, making it very efficient.

A conventional car engine must be replaced about every three months, Meyer said. With his steam engine the hope is for 20 years of problem free service.

Meyer also came up with a solar storage system that stores energy in parts and an efficient "pellet power delivery system."

Two of Meyer’s most important inventions were the hydrogen generator system that converts water into hydrogen and oxygen, and a water injector which renders the hydrogen gas safer than natural gas.

"With the old hydrogen system the cost for one million BTU’s of energy would be $15 to $20," Meyer said. "We can produce one million for one-thousandth of one cent," he added.

Meyer has patents for his devices, which he says proves two things. "It shows we have what we say we have and that we own and control the technology."

In this case Meyer has had the help of the United States government. "The President has issued a statement that says anyone working on new energy systems gets priority treatment from the U.S. patent office," Meyer explains.

One aspect that Meyer constantly emphasizes is that his system can be implemented very quickly should the energy situation get out of hand.

"Every aspect of the system, every technology, is different, but proven," Meyer said. "It includes mass production, power on demand, and instant energy systems for delivery. The system can go right to the people," he added.

Meyer is extremely excited about his involvement in the Future Fuels Challenge Rally October 17th.

The "Future Fuels Challenge Rally" which will run from Columbus to Rochester, N.Y., will have 55 cars entered. Several of these will run on hydrogen instead of gasoline and others will run on natural gas.

"We are developing the world’s largest gas engine company in the U.S.," Meyer said. "We have had help from the automotive industry, electrical utilities, and colleges at the U.S. Energy Center Conference in Washington which helped Meyer in his research."

"How you prepare is twofold. One is to demonstrate the fact that we have a car that runs on water," Meyer said. Secondly is communication. "If 200 million people know what we’re doing it guarantees us a market place."

Meyer does need support from the community though. Many people have helped him work on his inventions. Here are the "weekend warriors" of Meyer’s staff.

But what Meyer needs now is sponsors for the race, so that he can enter it and ultimately finish the race. Anyone interested in helping Meyer’s cause should contact him at his Hughes home, 222 Marian Ave.

Many people, including businessmen and government, would never give Meyer the start that he had, he would give up.

"Our system is twofold. One is to demonstrate the fact that we have a car that runs on water," Meyer said.

He saw problems developing.

Now 57 percent of all oil is imported, most of it from Arab countries. In 1980 the United States will pay $80 billion for energy, Meyer says. The U.S. cannot support that kind of expenditure, he adds.

Meyer believes that "if you can take over the energy base of a country you can take over that country without firing a shot. That's why we’re putting the system in."

Meyer has moved for speed in implementation, efficiency, and low cost.

"Ordinarily it would take industry 10 to 15 years to develop one single product," Meyer said. "It took us four years to develop many major components."

The system is so designed that it can be used in private and industrial areas. "We have solved tremendous mass production costs," Meyer said. "We solved one problem that would have cost industry about $600 million to solve. We solved it for 15%."

Other benefits of Meyer’s work include the end of steel manufacturing and chemicals. A big help for the Ohio coal industry.

Meyer’s invention is also known as an independent fuel system that will provide clean energy for the first time and give it back to this nation.

Meyer’s approach includes combining hydrogen generation, electrical generation, and developing an electric battery system, as well as utilizing solar power. Meyer said that he has worked on developing a solar powered house and hydrogen powered car for 13 years. He now has a system that will generate tremendous power and will be available to the community at the lowest cost.

"We had to convince the automotive industry, electrical industry, battery manufacturers, and the federal government to help us with our research. The U.S. cannot support energy use as it is now."

"But Meyer is now ready for the future. We believe that the system has real potential and with enough energy, we could have enough cars to solve our problems in Ohio and the world,” Meyer said.


Local man solves energy problem!

Operates car that runs on natural water.

Through the ages, men have dreamed of inventing miraculous machines for the betterment of mankind. Some have succeeded, and some have not. But one Grove City man may have the greatest invention of them all—the "Water Fuel Cell."

Stan Meyer appears to have the answer for the most difficult question ever asked: What will the human race do to overcome the depletion of its energy supplies? His answer: Extract hydrogen from water to be used as fuel.

The only difference between Stan Meyer and the people who have had the same response is that Meyer has found a way to get the powerful, plentiful hydrogen out of water easily, inexpensively, and safely. Something that before now, was impossible to do with current technology.

Meyer has been working nine years to develop the Water Fuel Cell, which can convert any type of natural water (including salt water) into a useable hydrogen gas capable of supplying all industrial, commercial, and domestic fuel needs. This means his fuel cell could operate your car, heat and cool your home, and keep the factories humming, just with simple water.

This incredible feat is possible because he has solved four major technical problems, where even scientists from the National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) had failed. He has taught scientists to extract hydrogen from water efficiently. Three of his inventions are: how to control the release of hydrogen, how to adjust gas output to match energy needs to the depletion of fossil fuels, and how to distribute the gas safely.

Extracting hydrogen from water is not a new idea. High school students have done it in chemistry labs all over the world. But because of the four problems listed by NASA, it was not feasible to repeat the process on a greater scale for fuel manufacturing.

But Meyer has broken away from the traditional method of hydrogen gas production—the process of electrolysis, which basically uses chemicals in the splitting of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The chemical electrolysis process requires more energy to initiate and carry out than the amount of energy produced.

However, Meyer’s Water Fuel Cell operates on a physical process that polarizes the water molecules and breaks them down into hydrogen and oxygen extremely easily.

He is able to do this because his invention restricts the amount of amps of electricity (which is power consumption) flowing to the fuel cell and allows voltage (or potential energy) to take over and excite and polarize the water molecules. That in turn produces hydrogen gas with almost no energy consumption in the process.

"It is a non-chemical device that does not create energy," the self-styled inventor said. "The only thing the fuel cell does is utilize a very low energy source to release a fantastic amount of energy in the form of hydrogen gas."

"We have the technology to convert a gallon of water to a second into hydrogen. One gallon of water is equivalent to over 44,000 BTUs of energy (British thermal units) per hour. The fuel cell could operate a truck on water for over 1000 miles at 55 miles per hour. It can do all this for about 2 cents per gallon of water."

"You would need to convert about a half gallon of water per hour to run your car down the road at 55 miles per hour. The release of 44,000 BTUs is such a tremendous amount of energy, it is enough to propel the largest aircraft carrier or fly the largest airliner."

Basically, Meyer’s fuel cell is so radical and so different from every other process, that it contradicts all existing beliefs of hydrogen production. In short, it is the opposite of everything scientists say is "possible" to do.

But Meyer has demonstrated his water fuel cell to the public at fairs and at meetings and has proven how easily it can be done. Using his simple, clean, tubular fuel cell and plain tap water, he has produced a flame of over 2,500 degrees.

He has also operated the engine of an automobile on hydrogen alone—his "Water Powered Car." This standard Volkswagen engine had no ordinary modifications, except for the addition of hydrogen injectors. According to the prior state of the art process, the electrolysis process, this was impossible to do because the engine would eventually seize up from the extreme temperatures (hydrogen is three times more combustible than gasoline).

But by cleverly recirculating exhaust from the combustion back into the injectors, the hydrogen burned to co-equal the burning of gasoline. Also, since the process is working off a very small amount of amps, the production of energy increased significantly, thereby decreasing gasoline usage by over 50%.

Meyer’s engine does not need hydrogen gas in order to work, as hydrogen gas is only produced as fast as it is consumed. There is no danger resulting from the build-up of excess hydrogen. If an automobile fitted with the fuel cell ruptured, all the fuel would spill onto the roadway and would turn to water that could be safely lapped up by the EPA!

Some other regulations surpassed by the fuel cell are bypassed as well. For instance, The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has exempted the water-powered car from the water vapor, which is simply a water vapor. So, in effect, every time a person installs a fuel cell on a car, plane, or boat, the air and the engine is cleaned.

Naturally, some people will ask, "How are we to get more water when we face water shortages now, won’t this deplete our reserves further?"

Since emissions from the operation of the fuel cell is water vapor, the natural process of the earth’s water cycle is not degenerated—except maybe helped along. Also, any type of water can be used. The salt water from oceans is even better to use because energy will be so abundant that even sea water will be transformed into fresh drinking water.

Because energy will be so abundant that even sea water will be transformed into fresh drinking water.

Because even sea water is predicted now by desert dwellers as meaning food supply. We have less than a 30-day food supply line in this country, and after people start digesting water, they start thinking about water and food.

But before any of that happens, we would be in a war to make sure the oil supply would not be shut off to begin with. With all that is going on in the mid-east, this is the right time for the water fuel cell."

image-1728931270588.png

Meyer said this was a religious person when he became the religious person when he developed the invention. The U.S. was in, he went to his office research laboratory and asked God to help him put a proper supply in the country. After he did, he relied on faith and direction.

At that time, he was a corporate entrepreneur, a multi-million dollar a year truck part distributing company. He was also involved in research, development, engineering, and product design. Basically, he was a corporate entrepreneur involved in all the steps of manufacturing.

However, he depleted his financial resources trying to obtain federal and state research development funds without the risk of patent buyout. But he continued his project on faith, trying to bring his fuel cell into the economy without foreign controls or intervention. Soon afterward, he struck a deal that put two of his last three dollars into the collection plate—keeping one dollar for his evening meal of cheeseburgers.

 

He said that same evening, his dinner was bought by a man curious about the fuel cell! The next day another man gave Meyer $2,000 with no strings attached. That first donation led to many more by other businessmen concerned about the economic future of the country and Meyer’s fuel cell.

For nine years, the inventor said he never worried about the source of capital for his project. "There are hundreds of men with inventions who feel the same way I did and are willing to help finance a project to get an inventor on his feet."

Although he has some backers, he personally owns all the patents and is responsible to no one else. He said that is the only way this current project can get into the current production stages.

"This fuel cell could not have come through a government or a multinational corporation," he said. "Companies and governments have ways of suppressing these types of things. It had to come through a person who was determined to see the project to the light of day."

He said some big names are sums of money being offered by various foreign governments to the start of the project. He said organizations have tried to buy stock to gain their advantage since the invention was started.

"But no one really fully understands what I was up to until it was too late because I patented what seemed to be minute inventions one after the other. It was unclear what they were for until the whole picture came together."

Meyer calls himself a businessman rather than an inventor and does seem to have a savvy of the business world’s way of operating. So in order to make sure his invention would roll out for the broadest of consumers, he set down five rules for himself when the project began.

Using water as fuel nears completion

image-1728931466804.pngRunning a car on water is now several steps closer to reality than it was this time last year.

Stan Meyer of Grove City, inventor of the Water Fuel Cell, a new technology that would allow vehicles and other internal combustion engines to run on water, has announced he recently received from the U.S. Patent Office a foreign grant license to allow full release of the Water Fuel Injector System® to go into the international marketplace, including the United States.

Meyer is currently finalizing systems engineering and says he owns all designs and development rights on the revolutionary alternate-energy system.

Since August, 1991, he has been filing and securing patents on systems processing and engineering designs, including four world patents. Two of these patents cover the method of operability—how and why the system works—design processing patents that give him full systems development rights. Two of these world patents are completed, and the last two are in the finalizing and production stages.

He said, “One covers a second important part of the Hydrogen Fracturing Process.” The first one covered the process, and the second one deals with the electronic circuit interfacing.

He has filed the Water Fuel Injection System® patents under the PCT Act (Patent Cooperation Treaty Act) with the World Patent Office in Washington, D.C. He stated there is a 20-month ruling to file in individual patent offices in countries around the world.

He says this is the greatest critical state he's gone through in the years he’s been developing the entire system. “If I violate the PCT Act, I’ve lost 15 years of work,” he stated.

“The object of these filings is to be able to bring out the Water Fuel Injector System® unilaterally—and bring it out to the entire world,” Meyer said. “All countries in the world have the same energy problems as the United States. The fossil fuel supply is running out, and alternate sources have to be found.”

“I had to go into full systems engineering in order to protect the technology and bring it into the international marketplace without receiving a technological blockage,” Meyer explained.

Meyer feels he has to control the technology personally to assure that he has the scientific backing.

“Very seldom do inventors have a chance to get into the systems engineering of their inventions,” Meyer said.

In the meantime, Meyer is required by the U.S. government to comply with all national security laws since his invention affects the military and the national economy.

“If these laws are violated, an inventor could be jailed,” Meyer explained.

“We’re now de-bugging the systems for reliability and performance,” Meyer said. “This is all done to secure the systems development rights of the international patents.”

He also had to design an update of the laser distributor with a two-stage signaling control and stage the timing of the high resonant pulse frequency voltage potential to be applied across the water in the Water Fuel Injectors that replace standard spark plugs. This not only runs the car, but gives it acceleration under controlled means.

Meyer is now in the miniaturization phase of his work. He said it costs $1,000 to develop the original Resonant Cavity technology which converts water to gas and controls the rate of gas flow on acceleration. The system is too large and costly to be adaptable or retrofitable into conventional vehicles, so Meyer is reducing the component through miniaturization for cost-effective production.

Meyer said we need to stop pulling oxygen out of the air, as current engines do. He says his technology uses oxygen from the water—not the air.

“A $2.50 recycling tube built into the system will allow auto manufacturers to convert vehicles which are currently creating air pollution,” Meyer said. “The gas is recycled through the system, so no air pollution occurs.”

"The number one area to reverse our environmental pollution problem is to convert internal combustion engines to run on water," Meyer said.

He recommends using rainwater with the Water Fuel Injection technology because it would be more free of contaminants, but says that water from other sources can be used if it is filtered. A filtration system is designed within the Water Fuel Injection System® to take care of this problem.

image-1728931658257.png

"I can see the old-fashioned rain barrel coming back into fashion," predicts Meyer.

The same filtration system can be transferred to all gasoline processes, Meyer says.

"The bottom line is that because of the Water Fuel Cell technology, we can convert any internal combustion engine or diesel engine and place it into the Water Fuel Injection System®," said Meyer. "It can be applied to cars, airplanes, blast furnaces, heat systems, and industrial processes. This would reduce the industrial foundation of every country in the world and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels as energy sources."

Meyer said the industrial base of countries must be maintained because without an energy supply, those bases would collapse quickly. "Our food supply would be quick disrupted."

Meyer's WFC system is designed to be retrofittable into any existing, regular fossil-fuel system. He says it will cost about $1,500 for the average-size car when it's mass-produced.

Meyer has presented his technology to scientists in seminars around the world.

"It stuns me that in all of the international conferences I’ve been since 1989, and in talking to the world’s scientific leaders, no other technology has emerged that has the design-retrofittable capabilities of the Water Fuel Cell Injection System® and there's no projection of alternative systems being proposed. That’s why I’ve been talking to world leaders and scientists on this technology, and that’s why this little old lab in Grove City, Ohio is becoming famous worldwide."

Meyer said he promotes in all the conferences he attends, that the WFC technology must be brought in throughout the world in one accord to prevent technological blockage.

"My greatest concern is how to get the technology into other countries to benefit all people," he says.

In the past year, Meyer has been named to Who’s Who of American Inventors and Entrepreneurs in the United States. He has had articles published in several national and international publications, including "raum & zeit US," "raum & zeit Europe," and "Explore. New Dimensions, Vol. 3, No. 4, 1992." He has addressed many conferences and seminars, including the 1989 International Congress for Free Energy in Switzerland, the 1990 International Extraordinary Science Convention in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and the 1991 International Global Science Congress in Daytona Beach, Florida.

"The credibility on the WFC technology is astronomically high," Meyer said. He spoke to 75 leading scientists in Geneva, Switzerland last November in a public forum. "They said it is viable technology," he said. "When I've secured all the registration and certification of the full systems design, I’ll be one very happy man," Meyer says. "After that, we're ready to go into the mass-production stage."

Many international patent licensing agreements are being negotiated throughout the world to decentralize both the manufacturing and installation of the Water Fuel Injection System® and related Water Fuel Cell technology. Hopefully, this phase of project completion will be bridged relatively quickly since many nations are responding to the urgent need to supply an alternative energy source to each respective economy.

"Environmentalists, on the other hand, are realizing that 'water as fuel' could possibly reverse our pollution problems relatively quickly if global usage becomes the accepted norm, since the combustion by-product of the combustible gases of water is water mist for hydrogen reuse," Meyer said.







World wakes up to water fuel invention - July 31 1991

image-1728931823487.pngAccording to Stan Meyer, Grove City inventor of the Water Fuel Cell, the nations of the world are polarizing to the technology and doors are opening up worldwide. "My objective since 1980 is now being finalized."

The world leaders who took part in the G-7 talks held recently in London were alerted to the technology, and Meyer says he was notified these leaders agreed to look further into it.

"The decision was definitely made," Meyer said. "This is a most significant development, getting world leaders to move together in one accord."

Meyer has been working on the hydrogen fracturing process technology since 1980 at a cost of about $1.6 million. He is the sole owner of the patents and is not associated with any major commercial company. Although he has been approached to sell the technology, he says he has no intention of doing so and plans to retain control to make sure his invention is brought to the public for the good of mankind.

He now holds more than 25 U.S. patents on the technology and systems, with patents also released in Japan, Canada, and other countries under the National Patent Cooperative Treaty Act.

"Part of the technology is in U.S. national security interest," said Meyer, "as well as of every other country that’s part of the Cooperative Treaty Act. The primary objective has always involved a concern for the economic betterment of other countries of the world."

The bulk of the Water Fuel Cell technology has already been released to the scientific community.

image-1728932080379.png

“As we have been releasing information on the technology, it’s being researched and verified at labs throughout the world,” Meyer said.

A recent report from Dr. T Nagypal of Vienna, Austria, who tested part of the technology states, "Your theory works."

“The Adoption of Hydrogen as a Universal Energy Source: An Appreciation” was written by Admiral Sir Anthony Griffin of England, along with Professor M.A. Laughton and Dr. K.B. Handley. The document ends with the recommendation: a) The credibility of WFC technology should first be established, b) subject to (a), the technology should be promoted widely as quickly as possible, c) Potentially destabilizing effects on national economies should be pre-empted or at least mitigated, and d) The functions of all concerned need to be coordinated without impeding their individual responsibilities."

The paper also states "If WFC technology can be brought to an economically viable state, it offers an energy source of immense significance for many nations, with all the advantages arising from the avoidance of PR [public relations] and management difficulties."

The gas is mixed with water from the reservoir tank at about 125 lb of pressure to produce water fuel. The water fuel put into the injector is exposed to a high voltage pulse frequency via the Voltage Intensifier Circuit technology and an L-shaped frame gate is utilized to control the amount of water fuel going into the system. The water fuel is then transformed into thermal energy released into the injector as it’s processed economically off the processed water fuel.

"The most important thing is that the technology has been done without any outside controls," said Meyer, "and could be in operation with the Water Fuel Cell technology within several months,” said Meyer. "Under a national emergency, we could do it in a matter of weeks."

image-1728932120491.png

The sports car Meyer is retrofitting is a Corvette owned and driven by Bill Brooks. According to Meyer, it is in the GT class, A and B category, and is called "the world’s fastest stock Corvette." With a large 700 HP engine, Brooks broke the land record at 271 mph. With a smaller engine, it holds the record of 247 mph. After it is retrofitted with the Water Fuel Cell system, they plan to run it at the Bonneville Salt Flats and try to break those records—using water as fuel.

The gas is processed to couple fossil fuel burning levels in order to run the car on water.

The advanced system is controlled by a computer system and a steam resonator gives the ability to heat water without consuming a great deal of electrical power. The process is totally electronic and is environmentally safe.

image-1728932161994.png

Meyer has secured two of five world patents pertaining to the Hydrogen Gas Management System, one as recently as May 21, 1991. A patent for the Electrical Polarization Process was issued on June 26, 1991.

"These are basic patents," said Meyer, "and there are three more patents filed that we’re expecting to come through any day."

The Water Fuel Injector System, WFC 422 DA, is an extremely advanced patented design known as an extension of the Hydrogen Gas System. Different sized WFC injectors are needed for each fossil fuel injector port in the car.


Scientists examine Water Fuel Cell - January 25th, 1990

Stan Meyer, Grove City resident and inventor of the Water Fuel Cell, a means of obtaining energy from water, has been working for over nine years on the development of the technology base, the processing of patents, and now the pre-engineering designs for a system which could well solve the energy problems of the world.

“It may seem like a long time to outsiders, and people would like to see things move forward faster than they have in bringing out the Water Fuel Cell system on the marketplace,” said Meyer, “but it has already moved faster compared to industry standards.”

He explained that normally it would take about $250 million for an industry such as the one he’s working with to achieve such an engineering and development project in such a short time compared to industry timelines.

"We’ve achieved quite a lot for just $1.6 million, and we are now at the final stages of development,” Meyer said.

Meyer said that this would allow them to produce two mass-production ready machines per day, with 11,000 units projected for production after full industrialization of the Water Fuel Cell system within 18-24 months.

When asked, “How much will it cost? Will it be efficient? Will it work?" Meyer’s response was clear: It will cost around $1,500 for a retrofit system adaptable to existing cars, and their testing is showing that it will be fully functional upon rollout to the market.

Dune buggy to run on water

Meyer stated that if things continue according to plan, there are no technical blocks that interfere, the dune buggy he has fitted with the Water Fuel Cell System will be rolled out in June of this year.

"This is subject to having everything tested, approved, and registered, and as long as everything remains on track, it will enter mass production within 18-24 months," said Meyer.

The same technology can be applied to planes and cars, as Meyer stated, “We’re designing all the systems under Murphy's Law. 'Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong,' and so our systems approach is built under a ‘Keep It Simple, Stupid’ (K.I.S.S.) method.”

Meyer is confident the Water Fuel Cell system could help avoid future environmental catastrophe, citing the simplicity and performance of the system as key benefits in reducing the reliance on fossil fuels.

Pre-engineering plans developed for Water Fuel Cell

Meyer has been in the final stages of pre-engineering, developing mass production methods for the Water Fuel Cell.

The straightability of the technology has already been accepted in the scientific world, and what interests the general public is how it works. That’s where the dune buggy comes in.

“The dune buggy is our 'lab on wheels,'” said Meyer. "For everything that's developed for it, we're debugging the system as it's brought out. We're using the highest state of the art to develop systems for this car, yet certain parts can be made for as little as $2 or $3 in mass production."

Meyer said that he's turned down billions of dollars of offers to commercialize the Water Fuel Cell technology and will not release the patents to any outside organization.

A written statement made by Admiral Griffin to the Royal Institute of Naval Architects in London in November 16th stated: “Of all the systems designed to solve the global hydrogen energy crisis, Stan Meyer’s Water Fuel Cell technology promises to be a real solution by generating hydrogen and applying it across industries and universities.”

Meyer’s next challenge is convincing nations and businesses to see the Water Fuel Cell’s potential in saving energy for industries worldwide.

Stanley Meyer tends to get excited when he talks about the solar energy device he is building just outside Grove City. He leans toward the listener, looks him or her directly in the eye, and armed with pen and paper, quickly demonstrates America’s decreasing oil supply and increasing dependence on Arab oil.

By the end of the talk, the listener is convinced of the sorrowful plight of a nation funneling billions of dollars into the Arab nation which is buying up American stock faster than you can write the check for your latest utility bill.

A persuasive salesman, Meyer leaves little doubt that his solar energy device is a revolutionary invention which can eliminate the need for oil base energy products in the home, eliminate high utility bills and avert from a national fuel crisis which Meyer expects to create economic havoc next winter.

A pilot demonstration model of the device, properly called a "solar thermal electric power generation system" is being constructed at the Charles Hughes home, 222 Marlane Drive.

Meyer is about halfway done building the device after about six months of construction work. He began "developing the project about a year ago."

Meyer hopes to demonstrate the model July 4, though he will complete construction within 30 to 60 days, he said. When done, it will be capable of providing all energy needs for the home using free solar energy.

Should Meyer successfully complete and demonstrate the device as an alternate energy system, it may be a phenomenal advancement to the U.S. government which has invested billions—perhaps billions—in the search for alternative energy systems.

What might partially explain why Meyer has hit some dead ends is the fact that he has not received any government help.

His personal letters to President Gerald Ford and Ohio Governor James Rhodes remain unanswered.

An official in the Federal Energy Administration office granted Meyer five minutes of his time, but was apparently not interested in the invention.

He gave up on Ohio government after learning that the state would provide partial funding only if the inventor gives up patent rights to the state.

Giving up patent rights would be about the last thing Meyer would do, “because I want this system to get to the American people,” he said.

Meyer has developed a serious skepticism of government officials who want to buy his patent rights. According to Meyer, utility companies, the government, and a representative of the Arab nation have all offered him money to suppress his system, which would probably significantly reduce the demand for oil.

Who is this man who believes he can overcome the obstacles of greased bureaucracy?

Meyer can best be described as being as intense as the rays he hopes to direct into his solar energy device.

In Meyer’s lens, there is a burning desire to build a system which will benefit the future of the United States rather than fill his own personal coffers.

As a forward-thinking inventor, he wants to prove that through ingenuity, an individual can solve the problems at a large national scale—without sacrificing to corporations.

“The American people are the ones who must be solved the problem,” Meyer maintains, “not the corporations.”

Meyer says the government does not have the flexibility to solve such a monumental energy problem.

Utility companies and government agencies have not helped Meyer in the past, nor will they in the future, but small businesses in the United States and abroad have supplied funds to build his pilot demonstration model.

There are people starting to help,” Meyer said, “but I still need more.”

Meyer says his system, which he began constructing in the basement of his Columbus home in July 1975, is based on “new, but proven principles.”

He received the fastest U.S. patent ever awarded on the system in December 1975, only about three months after filing initial applications.

The system uses plastic lenses about one inch thick constructed in a silo-shaped translucent structure to collect sun rays which can provide enough free, converted energy to meet all the needs of the home including electric, heating, air conditioning, hot water, and synthetic gas for appliances.

The system will include a collector lens assembly, a solar insulator, and a storage cavity, a steam conversion unit for electrical power generation.

The silo-like lens assembly will direct sunlight regardless of its angle through “focusing mode.” The round lens collector can gather rays from any direction while popular flat plate collectors are subject to the angle of the sun's rays.

The heat from the sun’s rays would be retained in the solar insulator cavity, using a principle of “liquid stratification.” The heat would generate enough superheated steam to drive a steam conversion unit which would generate an electrical generator.

A thermal storage cavity would absorb all excess heat for later extended periods of cloudy weather at night.

The new unit has high retention of heat unlike present systems where heat loss through energy transfer.

Meyer said a solar heating system will cost about $3,200 to purchase and install, saving the consumer $17,000 over a 20-year period, according to figures compiled by Meyer.

The electrical system would cost under $10,000 to purchase and install, representing a $29,000 savings to the consumer.

Solar Energy (continued from page 1)

Using the same principles he does on the home solar unit, Meyer says he can draw up some of the estimated 90 percent of petroleum deposits which are only obtainable through secondary recovery processes.

Presently, oil companies use just about as much oil in the equipment to draw up equal amounts of oil deposits.

Meyer can use free solar energy to operate a machine to recover the oil. Meyer hopes by bringing up oil reserves, the U.S. will not be dependent on the Arabs for oil and thus, American money will be kept here and used to stimulate the economy.

Meyer said the system lends to mass production and is cheap to maintain because it has few moving parts.

All parts in the device are obtainable from area suppliers. He expects to begin mass producing the units in October.

But first, he must prove the system works. Whether he succeeds or fails, however, Meyer says at least he will know he tried.

“If I do nothing else, but get people to write letters to their representatives about the energy problem, I will be happy,” Meyer said.

“It’s about time the average American wakes up to the fact that the energy problem is here.”

Should Meyer succeed in his endeavor, Grove City will be known throughout the nation as the “birthplace of solar, electric energy,” Meyer said.

Solar Silo - Is it a big hoax, or our last hope? Who will decide? - November 29th, 1979

It stands conspicuously beside the home of Charles Hughes, 2222 Marlane Drive, Grove City—this two-story tall translucent solar energy silo. Is it a hoax or will thousands of these energy cells someday supply most of the nation’s energy needs as its inventor claims?

The decision will be made by the American people. It was after all the "public" that endorsed the once-called "hairbrain" schemes of men like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Robert Fulton, and Orville and Wilbur Wright.

Inventor Stanley Meyer of Columbus has unwavering faith in the American people, following the examples of their predecessors, will proclaim his solar energy system the "Salvation of the Nation" from its energy crisis. "If not, it might be Meyer's last hope. He's just about exhausted all other sources of support."

Despite being technologically and economically sound, the "self-taught" inventor has not garnered much attention from oil companies, government, and industry. Government wants to keep funding oil research, and Meyer's invention could dramatically reduce the demand for oil.

Who is this man behind the system? A patriot, Meyer has dedicated his invention to the American people. He is staying in America, despite opportunities abroad, because he wants his system to help his country. Basic to the system is the concept of recycling energy by focusing sunlight through a magnifying glass atop a high-rise structure onto a large lens beneath it.

The structure is a silo, which uses giant lenses about one inch thick constructed in a silo-shaped translucent structure to collect sunlight, convert it to energy, and provide enough heat to power the entire home. The solar insulator and superheated steam are designed to power the electrical generator.

Meyer’s demonstration is the 24-foot high silo at 2222 Marlane Drive, which generates 24,000 BTUs of energy from just one day's worth of sunlight. The electrical system would cost under $10,000 to purchase and install.

The silo can also be used to preheat or be made smaller for homes, high-rise buildings, and other commercial structures. Meyer’s system is scalable, and he is confident that this design will revolutionize energy production in America.

Meyer’s invention is based on "new but proven principles." He is confident that it could "pre-pressurize" oil wells so that oil companies can use less equipment in drawing the last 60% of the oil from oil wells.

Meyer has filed for patents with the U.S. Patent Office and refuses to sell his patents to the government, oil companies, or foreign interests. He believes his system can help make the U.S. energy independent.

Patriotism and Christ inspire inventor

image-1728932862733.pngConstruction started in February 1975. Meyer, who is assisted by a group of workers he calls the "Weekend Warriors," is 98 percent finished. Completion and installation of the reinforced shield is all that remains to be done.

The conical focusing lens is one of the key instruments in the silo. Light captured by the plastic lens on the silo is redirected to the electrical build. Unlike conventional solar panels, the efficiency of the new device will not be subject to the angle of the sun’s rays because the silo is rotated and can collect sunlight both morning and evening.

Heat from the redirected rays would be retained in the silo insulator cavity stored in the base of the silo. The heat would boil water and turn it into steam in a heat exchanger, a system of copper pipes. The steam would then drive a steam turbine to power the electrical generator.

Another storage cavity would absorb excess heat for use over extended periods of cloudy weather and at night.

Another advantage of Meyer’s system is its adaptability to mass production. The materials are easily available and inexpensive. The silo also can be easily maintained and modified. Unlike solar panels, which have to be attached to the roof of a home, a solar silo will not require any structural modifications to the home.

The inventor said the silo will remain operational for 20-40 years and will save Americans billions of dollars in fuel costs. Cost of the unit will depend on the size, but Meyer said a home unit measuring 15 feet would cost about $7,500 (although the price might be lower with mass production).

The flat-panel solar energy panels attached to roofs, which are getting national attention, are inferior, Meyer said, because 80-95 percent of the energy is captured by the panels is lost. The solar silo not only captures almost all the sunlight but can produce energy by product-transfer mode (for cloudy days).

Meyer said he has been motivated by Christ and patriotism. He sees the solar silo as his inspiration and seems to symbolize hope and rejuvenation. This, combined with Meyer’s astonishing and frightening figures on America’s large dependence on oil-rich Arab nations, might convince many of the importance of devices such as his that can reduce oil dependence.

About 65 percent of the oil consumed in the U.S. this year will come from the Middle East, Meyer said, an increase of 33 percent from 1975. Americans might buy as much as $200 billion in oil in 1980, which was the same amount paid for Arab oil from 1965-1975.

As a result, Arab oil producers have had the means to buy controlling interests in every American oil and utility company, Meyer said. When he found out companies like Turkish Associates in Delaware were behind Arab investments in U.S. energy, he was disturbed.

Government and industry, which have been tied to the interests of oil-rich nations, are backing the solar panel device, Meyer said, because they know solar panels won’t solve America’s energy problems. Even if he uses flat panels, the U.S. consumer will still have to use oil to provide all his energy needs, the inventor said.

Meyer tried to get government support for his project. Personal letters to President Gerald Ford and Ohio Governor James Rhodes went unanswered. The Federal Energy Administration (now the Department of Energy) told Meyer it was only interested in flat plate ideas.

Private industry’s response was not more flattering. Those offers would have put restrictions on the system’s development or Meyer would have sold the patents.

Pressure was even felt locally. A Columbus firm hired to make parts for the silo refused to deliver Meyer’s parts, saying they thought "no one else was interested." Except for The Record and one Columbus television station, Meyer said, the media has not expressed any interest in his invention.

Meyer believes his solar silo can reduce the price of gas, drought, apathy, and guilt associated with the energy crisis. In other words, patriotism, promises, and faith in America.

“I feel my system is divinely inspired, and that the grace of God will be in this project to allow its operation in a very short length of time,” Meyer said in conclusion.

The inventor now is confident spring will be the completion date of the silo, and before or perhaps ushering in a revolution—one relying on sunlight rather than gunpowder.



Meyer still working on energy systems - July 1st, 1982

Stan Meyer has been back at the drawing board and has come up with yet another invention to help bring a cheap and efficient energy system into the United States.

Last September The Record reported that Meyer had come up with several devices that allowed him to power a car on water. He had also developed a solar power system.

Since 1975 when he started working on energy problems, Meyer has received 16 major patents and many minor ones for his inventions.

His basic criteria for bringing an energy system into the country are:

 

"The same design that applies to one application must fit into the system of a car. This means that the system can be introduced in all aspects of society simultaneously," Meyer said.

Stan Meyer has spent several years working on the system that powers his car on water, the hydrogen gas taken from water.

"There were two problems before on using hydrogen as an energy system. First was how to produce the hydrogen economically and second was how to render it safe by adjusting the burn rate," Meyer said.

Hydrogen gas burns at 325 centimeters per second, according to Meyer, which is very fast.

Through his inventions, Meyer has developed a system whereby the burn rate can be adjusted to that of LP or natural gas (about 37 cm per second).

"This gives us unlimited potential because we can adjust the burn rate," he said.

Meyer is adjusting the rate to match that of gasoline used in automobiles so that the system will work on a car.

In a demonstration, Meyer showed a flame that was supported by hydrogen from his water fuel cell. The flame was intensely hot. As the flame burned he demonstrated that with the fuel, four gallons of water in the fuel cell could burn a flame for two and a half days.

He stated that a home could be heated for 24 hours with a little over five gallons.

He has also developed an electrical energizer which can be linked to his laser invention that splits water into hydrogen. The energizer is another alternative source of hydrogen as an energy source.

Meyer uses a water fuel cell that separates the hydrogen from water. The system can use rainwater, well water, city tap water, even salt water.

The result of this process is even good for the environment because it doesn’t pollute. "Hydrogen burns pure, and the byproduct is water mist, so the more we use the system the cleaner the world will become," Meyer stated.

He hopes to have his system in a car and on the street by the end of the summer. He had hoped to have the car system running last year and was planning to enter an energy efficiency race.

But a problem arose with the car; it would run, but getting it started was difficult. Meyer and his team worked around the clock to try to enter the race but just couldn’t iron out the problem in time.

Meyer has been offered a reported $250 million for his invention but has turned down all offers. Meyer said he has a commitment to the system and if it doesn’t look like anything will be done in time, he may release it.

But, you see something filling the gas tank of your car with water instead of gasoline, it is probably just Stan Meyer at work in his fight against oil companies.

Solar Energy Project Near Done - July 29th, 1976

By Richard Jonas, RECORD EDITOR
July 29th, 1976

image-1728933300630.pngFor Stanley Meyer, July 4, 1978, was a disappointing day.

July 4 was supposed to be the day Meyer hoped to project what has been completed 12 hours a day, six days a week since February in a project which will, he hopes, save his country—that’s quite a statement.

Meyer is installing a solar energy system at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hughes, 2222 Marlane Drive, just outside Grove City. Meyer hoped to finish installation of the patented product, a Solar Panel Electrical Power Generation System, which will, he says, provide free energy for the home, both heating and electricity.

However, Meyer said, progress on the system has been slow, the rains causing delays, thus he was unable to finish installation of the energy system by the planned demonstration for this past Tuesday. Meyer said he expects completion in "about 10 days."

Meyer, who is passionate about solving the energy crisis facing the United States, says his system uses the free solar energy and could stabilize the nation’s economy. "I love my country," Meyer says, and his work is a contribution to "free world citizens."

However, Meyer, 35, said his revolutionary conservation of the use of solar energy alone "is a success and demonstrates that it can produce electricity, heat, and hot water. If I am done or not, I will have done my part," he said. "From here, I will need the support of the American people to get this (system) going."

"Call in America."

Meyer said he will "call on all American citizens to go to the federal government and support him in his quest to bring forth this answer to the existing regulations which would prevent the utilization of the system."

This appeal to his fellow citizens for support is the basis of Meyer’s plan. "It has always been the free individual," he says, "not industry and not the government which has solved the nation’s problems. This is the story of God, country, and the American way of helping one another.**

"This is a story of American people going to the government to help save it." Meyer said he began contacting companies and individuals to invest in "without a dime in my pocket." Small businesses donated materials, labor, and time to help him, Meyer said. His "Weekend Warriors" who descended on the Hughes property to help with the work.

The project, which was begun in February, is 80 percent complete. Meyer is hoping to finish the final 20 percent of the manufacture of the system within the next two weeks.

After Meyer had engineered the system, the Hughes family, who donated their land to the project, has become enthusiastic about the results. The frame of the device for the demonstration model, he said, is a modular unit that can be erected and torn down as needed.

Meyer said the solar energy device would generate $10,000 to $20,000 in energy cost savings over 10 years. The system could save homeowners $50,000 to $80,000 in energy costs over 20 years if installed nationwide.

Energy is an obsession to Meyer
Highly energetic himself, as well as an enthusiastic, articulate, and impassioned, he is deeply concerned about the energy situation facing the country, a threat he parallels to the threat of World War II.

"That’s why I went down to my basement in July 1975 and researched and developed this system," Meyer said. "I made a simple prayer to God to help me develop the system and it was answered. And my whole goal is to get this energy source to every man, woman, child, and business in the United States."

"Sun energy is a free source of energy which can strengthen the United States and give the small businessman independence so he can maintain his business as well as his home site," Meyer continued. "There's enough solar energy there for everyone to use."

image-1728933319572.pngSolar Project Nears Completion

Manufacture of synthetic material from hydrogen gas burns through oxygen, Meyer said. That gas which uses hydrogen to power automotive appliances is added.

The base of the system—when finished—would be built from an eight-foot by six-foot deep steel tank containing a heat storage cavity designed to store heat overnight in turn drive a steam piston engine which will generate electricity via an alternator.

A second chamber below the first stores heat for the home and hot water heating.

10 Feet Lens

The metal lens frame, the most prominent part of the structure located adjacent to the Hughes home, is the basis for a lens 21 feet high and eight feet in circumference which collects sunlight regardless of the sun's position during the day and focuses it down onto a flat, disc lens, Meyer said. This lens then concentrates the light like a magnifying glass into the storage tanks.

The plastic wall lenses will focus onto the silo-shaped unit at the system and will be made up of a 1,200 smaller interlocking plastic "friction guide panels." A plastic panel was ready to go but was said to be too expensive for Meyer’s model, he said.

Meyer is looking for backing from manufacturers to charge him $27,000 for manufacture of a single 40-inch thick panel, adding that his home model will cost around $30,000. He added the frame, like the design panels, will stand indefinitely and has weather-resistant rubber sealing the synthetic lens.

Soon after the system is demonstrated, it will be ready for mass production, Meyer said. Models from the size of an industrial greenhouse to residential commercial panels will be manufactured to provide energy for commercial and industrial plants as well as manufactured. The modular design of the system makes it possible for it to be put into any economy in all sizes immediately, Meyer said.

Meyer holds the fastest patent ever issued for an energy device in the system. The aid and those experts at the U.S. Patent Office wouldn’t have issued it if it hadn’t been based on proven technology, Meyer said.

Meyer Improves

Meyer became less passionate once he spoke. Behind the scenes lay mechanical technical obstacles that inspired his system.

The former retailer of truck parts, who "walked away from a million-dollar-a-year business to work on the energy system," said, "The history of the present energy system supply and demand dictates that it be tied to the industrial backbone of this country which is nearly broken through by energy shortages."

After Meyer had engineered the system, the Hughes family helped him with further development and more years’ worth of support.

Meyer estimated today that a statistic of 91 percent of today’s oil will go to U.S. energy needs, with $70 billion projected for 1980, he said.

According to Meyer, these dollars are funneled back into the United States economy through the U.S. bank being funded by the Arab states, he said. The Arab states took out billions of dollars in 1975 alone to invest in the United States economy.

"This declaration is now being made by foreign industries," Meyer warned. Utilization of the new system would stabilize the nation’s economy, Meyer said. "Ninety-one percent of our country’s job will be lost if new energy sources are not put into operation quickly," Meyer added.

Processing patents granted to Meyer - July 7th, 1988

“What we’ve been waiting for so long has finally happened,” Stan Meyer of Grove City has announced. The U.S. Patent Office has completed the process of granting him all the patents on the Hydrogen Fracturing Process that triggers, sustains, and maintains hydrogen fusion at room temperature. The gas process simply prevents the formation of the water molecule during thermal gas ignition, releasing energy up to and beyond 160 million barrels of oil per gallon of water. No single man in history has, up to this point in time, ever held all the processing patents on the complete technology of a major invention like the Water Fuel Cell technology. "The ramifications are unbelievable," Meyer said.

Meyer is referring to his solution as the Water Fuel Injection System, and it applies to the growing energy source problem worldwide. His invention includes 42 processing patents, and the development covers several applications.

The 42 processing patents which Meyer has been receiving are different from design patents. The processing patents cover the methods of development, as well as the practical applications of the Water Fuel Cell system. The patents are linked together to give a broad range of ability to move into the economy in all areas, including retrofit systems (adapting the technology to existing car engines, for example).

The Patent Office moved with elimination problems, which could have led to technical blockages by foreign nations, said Meyer. "It was vital to legalize all the paperwork, work first to allow the technology to develop in many areas: aircraft, boat engines, other dry systems, and energy systems using hydrogen." The technology will allow the system to use areas in a myriad of ways, added Meyer.

“Especially in the last one and one-half months, we’ve been given preferential treatment at the Patent Office. It’s an unheard-of short amount of time to receive patent grants. They have over 200,000 patent applications backlogged, but they cleared all of ours in about eight months, so that indicates how vital they think this technology is,” Meyer explained.

Inventor uses water as fuel

image-1728933799979.pngNew energy source is vital

Nations all over the world are now recognizing that they must seek other energy sources than oil. Meyer named some reasons:

  1. The Department of Energy in the U.S. has been forced to admit to the American people that 60% of our oil must come from foreign countries to supply the demand in our country.
  2. Figures now indicate that oil pressure is dropping in oil fields—not only in the U.S. but worldwide—three times faster than expected.
  3. Russia expected to supply 40% of their energy needs from nuclear energy, but with the incident at Chernobyl, that program cannot be met.
  4. China has opened their doors to Western technology, and in China, 25% of the world population now wants more energy to supply their industrial base.
  5. Oil is no longer available on the spot market for the U.S. and Western countries.

"This is a tremendous problem facing us," says Meyer. "Figures show that if the foreign oil supply to the U.S. is shut off for as little as 27 days, we’ll face starvation. Our agricultural and industrial economy will come to an abrupt halt."

"The key now is that the process is done, and we now move into the legalization of the technology," said Meyer. "I want to see foreign governments be willing to sign agreements to apply to various sectors of the economy simultaneously."

Meyer continues to work on designing buildings for the Water Fuel Cell process. Much of the design of the project has been secured in Central Ohio. Now, it’s final patent processing, research, and development funding that is being sought through various sources.

Dune buggy demonstration
One of the first projects to demonstrate the use of the Water Fuel Cell system was the dune buggy Meyer first tested in October 1985. That car received worldwide coverage on ABC News syndication in many countries. Today, the dune buggy is being prepared for cross-country runs in Germany, where it will be running on Water Fuel Cell technology.

"The build of the system will use 90% of its materials derived from plastics," Meyer said. "The frame of the buggy is synthetic material. The dune buggy is lighter and will weigh far less than a normal vehicle. It will be used in an experimental capacity for more tests."

The same design circuits used in the system can also apply to large trucks and equipment, said Meyer.

interest from backers. They want to be a part of history in the making."

Detractors have said that there might be an unfair advantage using the Water Fuel Cell in the Indy race—fewer pit stops, for example. Meyer says, "Not so. We’ll run the race under the same characteristics as the race is run today. The winner of the race will be determined not only by the car’s performance but also by the skill of the driver and an element of luck—just as it is today. Things occur—pin-outs, accidents, etc.—that just can’t be pre-judged, but we’ll ensure that we’ll be high-skilled competitors and give other racers a run for their money."

Several race car drivers have expressed interest in driving the car in the Indy 500 race, and Meyer estimates it will take about 20 people on the team to pull it all together.

"We’re in the continuous negotiation stage right now to bring this technology in on a worldwide basis," he says. "It will be a collective effort. The ice has been broken, and the research and technology stage is done. We’re going into the development stage."

Worldwide funding is sought

Meyer expects funding for further development to come from many areas which recognize the need for the system—countries from all over the world, military, and government, and industry. He says he will not incorporate to go for funding because of the danger of losing control of the technology.

"I’m still shocked at how fast things have moved," he says. "When the chips are down, the United States has said, 'He has a good idea. Let’s give him the ability to bring it home.' Now we have to go through fire and test it out. I feel that the government, in accord with people everywhere, will bring this system in as a viable answer to the energy problem."

Meyer says that would diffuse the Mid-East situation and probably avoid war. "It’s phenomenal to see different governments coming together to see this thing brought into being, and I just can’t help but feel that the money will be forthcoming to bring in the system. I’ll be honest—I’ve turned down money, because they want control of the tech base, and I won’t let that happen. I don’t want it to get into the wrong hands. Sometimes the greed in this world is disheartening. I’m continually amazed at efforts to prevent an alternate energy source from being brought into the economy."

"It will all come down to the people," he predicts. "If they want the system, it will happen. The United States may go through some hard times, but I feel that the people of our nation will get behind it and urge that it be brought in to solve the energy problem."

Meyer is developing the atomic yield of water - November 13th, 1986

In October of 1984 and again in October of 1985, stories appeared in The Grove City Record about the invention of Grove City resident, Stan Meyer. The 1984 copyrighted story introduced Meyer’s Water Fuel Cell technology to the public and told how Meyer was developing a new energy source using the hydrogen and oxygen molecules of water to obtain fuel. The 1985 story presented the details of his first run with a dune buggy using only water—along with the Water Fuel Cell technology as power. Now, one year later, where does the Water Fuel Cell technology stand?

History of development

The history of the Water Fuel Cell technology development has been an ongoing process. Since the running of the dune buggy on water alone, the mass natural energy system and the Water Fuel Cell technology have been in full development toward pre-engineering a system both locally and worldwide.

Via ABC television newscasts, Meyer has been continuing to develop the technology pertaining to injector systems in preparation for taking a trip across the country by water-powered car after the technology is fully developed and legalized. In the interim time to the current date, he’s been finishing several major research and development projects which had to be fully developed before the Water Fuel Cell technology could be presented to the marketplace.

image-1728934321010.pngBefore the pre-engineering design of Water Fuel Cell technology can be finalized for mass production, other major goals had to be reached, including:

  1. Processing over a four and one-half foot stack of legal paperwork to standardize the legal rights of the technology.
  2. Finalizing the technology of the Electric Polarization Generator.
  3. Completion and finalization of the base for the Gas Dynamic Electric Generator and completing all patent work for issuance of patents already received.
  4. Completing the design work on the Rotary Pulse Voltage Frequency Generator for mass production and receiving the patents on that and related technology.

 

 

In order to complete the entire development package, Meyer has found it necessary to work on and develop, to invent, and study the phenomena to establish engineering workability of the system’s concept, always working towards the concept of mass development and to integrate the use of atomic power. It has been a step-by-step development, which has included the following areas:

  1. Finding an economical way to produce gas from water.
  2. Developing that ability to enhance that energy for home, car, military, industrial, and other usages.
  3. Developing the ability to process the hydrogen gas so it’s as safe to use as natural gas, and stimulating electrical energy to make the system operate.
  4. Making the hydrogen gas so it can be recycled for hydrogen reuse, which entailed the development of the Water Fuel Cell Purification technique.
  5. Developing the technology to utilize the properties of hydrogen gas for electric production, which is referred to as the Energy Feed-Back System.
Military applications

Meyer has already gone to Washington, D.C., and has made preliminary presentations at the Pentagon to General Abrahamson and staff and members of NASA, pertaining to using the Water Fuel Cell, Atomic Gas Gun, and related technology in the Star Wars development program. As research and development finalizes, this will continue to be pursued.

Stan Meyer, Grove City resident and inventor of the Water Fuel Cell technology which allows an engine to run on any type of water, has been preaching for the past ten years about a pending crisis in the Mid-East which will affect our use of oil as an energy source. That prediction seems more likely than ever to come true today as we follow the volatile events in the Mid-East which seem to change on an hourly basis.

“A Mid-East stalemate is possible, and the Water Fuel Cell technology could defuse the situation,” Meyer said. “It’s getting very exciting. We’re getting close. I’ve received calls from around the world, and now it’s time to show the world we have the technology.”

The energy crisis problem Meyer has warned about for the past ten years is nearing, he said, and events in the Gulf are bringing energy problems to the forefront.

Meyer, who works out of his lab in Grove City, said the fuel cell project he is working on now is moving towards production stage. He said that being blocked by the patent process has hindered the development, but he believes he is under the premise that they’d bring the technology out and get the unit into production, and that’s exactly what we plan to do as soon as possible.

When he says “we” he’s referring to himself, his twin brother, Steve Meyer of Florida, and other technicians who have been working on the project—including Ulf Dahlstrom and Mattias Johansson of Sweden, Charlie Holbrook of Washington, C.H., and Canadian aviation experts.

Meyer said that industry’s standard price tag to develop such a technology would be over $10.5 million just to develop the system concepts, and that doesn’t include the actual engineering designs. As much as $350 million could be needed to develop the overall technology.

“By keeping things simple and working out of a lab right here in Grove City, we’ve just taken the Water Fuel Cell technology further and further. It’s really coming together.”

Retrofit units can be put into existing vehicles or new ones, on planes or boats, to run home heating systems, and a myriad of other uses—all using water as a fuel source. The projected cost of a retrofit kit will be about $1,500.

“90% of the Water Fuel Cell is solid-state electronic design, and 10% of it is packaging using plastic mold injection technology,” said Meyer. “When mass production begins, we anticipate being able to produce 11,000 retrofit units every 24 hours.”

A 10-page article in Traum & zeit, U.S.A., Volume 1, No. 6, Feb-March, 1990, explains details about the Water Fuel Cell technology—how the Water Fuel Cell does not create energy but simply releases hydrogen that’s stored in water economically and controls the rate of its production on demand.

The Water Fuel Cell team of technicians is gearing up for a race to be held in Australia in November—a 1,900-mile race across the desert and through two mountain ranges. The race requires the use of solar power, so the dune buggy pre-engineering design vehicle has been equipped with a solar collector which will be used to charge the battery to start...

Water Fuel Cell technology to 176 nations at an international symposium. He spoke earlier this year at the S.A.F.E. Symposium in Einsiedeln, Switzerland, at an energy seminar where the Water Fuel Cell technology was presented to the scientific community. He’ll also be demonstrating the technology in England.

In addition to doing pre-engineering work on the Water Fuel Cell for cars, Meyer will also be working on a retrofit system for airplanes, jet aircraft, and diesel engines such as those that power boats.

 

“I wouldn’t be surprised to have an automobile delivered to me here in Grove City for a retrofit,” said Meyer.

The Water Fuel Cell may possibly be installed in an Alaskan Bushmaster plane built by Rick Schneider of Schneider Wheel Skies in Eagle River, Alaska. Schneider will be attempting to certify a rotary engine for virtually every general aviation aircraft. The plane has a simpler engine than current piston engines Schneider hopes to build and sell the engine at about half the price of conventional engines.

With the Water Fuel Cell installed on the plane, Schneider plans to attempt to break as many as 25 or 30 aviation records, including time aloft without refueling, distance flown without refueling, non-turbocharged altitude records, highest landing and take-off (near Mt. McKinley), and many others—all while being powered by water.

Stan Meyer continues to work around the clock to bring the Water Fuel Cell technology in, and WFC is receiving tremendous support from many countries, including England, Sweden, and Canada. “We’re getting international response to aid us in this stage of the development,” Meyer said.

The water-powered car is going through the final de-bugging stages by Ulf Dahlstrom, left, a Swedish electronics engineer, and Steve Meyer, center, electronics and computer expert, and Stan Meyer, right, inventor of the Water Fuel Cell.

“If war in the Mid East cuts off oil supplies,” we’ll go into a "Manhattan-style" project in which all nations will come together under one roof and bring the technology to the marketplace, government, and military simultaneously,” Stan Meyer said.

“The demand for energy is paramount throughout the world,” he said. “It’s the number one problem. We’re working around the clock to bring the Water Fuel Cell technology in, and we’re receiving tremendous support from many countries, including England, Sweden, and Canada.”

The Water Fuel Cell Technology Center is in the planning stages for near Washington Court House, Ohio. “It will allow us to bring the nations of the world together under one roof and bring the technology to the marketplace, government, and military simultaneously,” Meyer said.

image-1728935049940.pngIn anticipation of the event, the car has been completely redone—new steering, brakes, instrumentation, rewiring of the electrical system to new specifications—and the installation of some key components. The Hydrogen Gas Management system contains the GMS (Gas Management System), a computer unit that has been installed on the dashboard of the car. It will control and monitor the engine and engine performance and is one of the parts that will be completely miniaturized for the retrofit system.

It is tied to the VIC (Voltage Intensifier Circuit) which has been updated for the third time and is currently being installed beside the water storage tank in front of the engine. This allows for the economical release of hydrogen from water and gives control on command.

 

“We’ve had to develop and invent everything we’ve done every step of the way,” said Meyer. “It’s all new technology.”

The dune buggy has a new engine, a standard 1600-series VW engine, which has had a laser distributor installed.

The two Meyer brothers will drive the car themselves during the six-day race in Australia.

“We, of course, want to prove the function and reliability of the engine,” said Stan Meyer. “We need to run the dune buggy under actual conditions such as temperature variances of extreme heat and cold and adverse weather conditions. However, we’re also running the race to win.”

From now to race time, a “de-bugging” process will be taking place. The last major patent, concerned with electrical patents, concerned with electrical patents, needed to be completed before the car was brought out to the public and was received in July. They are currently working on a systems approach patent which is now being filed and registered that covers the total process—“This needs to be done before we roll out the door,” said Steve Meyer. The dune buggy is an engineering unit, an on-wheels lab to monitor the performance of the car and the Water Fuel Cell. It is a prelude to the manufacturing of the retrofit kits.”

image-1728935068533.pngThe retrofit energy system kits will have two major advantages—you don’t have to change an existing car or truck engine to install the Water Fuel Cell technology into it.

The retrofit kits will be put into existing vehicles or new ones, on planes or boats, to run home heating systems, and a myriad of other uses—all using water as a fuel source. The projected cost of the retrofit kit will be about $1,500. “90% of the Water Fuel Cell is solid-state electronic design, and 10% of it is packaging using plastic mold injection technology,” said Meyer. “When mass production begins, we anticipate being able to produce 11,000 retrofit units every 24 hours.”

He cited a 1989 article in Farmset-USA, Volume 1, No. 6, Feb.-March, 1990, explaining all about the Water Fuel Cell technology. “When mass production begins, the Water Fuel Cell adoption rate will skyrocket,” said Meyer.

In February 1991, Steve Meyer said, "I wouldn’t be surprised to have an automobile delivered to me here in Grove City for a retrofit. It’s an international project that we’re doing.”

Lenses To Be Made For Solar Energy System - October 21, 1976

Published by The Grove City Record on Thursday, October 21, 1976

image-1728935901340.png

Stanley Meyer, who earlier this year began construction in Grove City of what he terms a revolutionary solar energy system, said the project is "about 87 percent done" and estimates it could be completed and operable within 60 days.

Meyer said all of the system at 2222 Marlane Drive is complete except for installation of synthetic light guide lenses, which he says will concentrate solar energy into the lower portion of the system, where it can be stored and converted into other forms of energy.

Dyna-Quip, Inc., located in Columbus, has agreed to construct molds for the manufacture of the plastic light guides, the inventor said. As soon as the molds are completed, the lenses can be made as quickly as the material becomes available.

The frame, along with the storage cavity and power storage segments of the system, have been finished, Meyer added.

In March, the former Battelle Memorial Institute electronics technician announced construction of the device was underway, claiming it could have an enormous impact upon the national economy and the continuing search for cheap and plentiful sources of energy.

Since the original article appeared in the Record in March, a number of persons have offered their help on weekends. Businesses have offered to aid him in the completion of the full-size demonstration model.

One individual, Charles Richardson, who said he was formerly associated with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, has joined Meyer to work full-time on the system.

“Response has been tremendous,” Meyer said, although he admits that most of the granulated acrylic material, which will be used for the light guide lenses, must still be obtained. He said “about $700 worth” of the plastic material has been given to him, but “about $2,600 worth of plastic is still needed.” Meyer is not concerned about how the material will be obtained, as he said, “we’ll get it however the Lord provides it.”

image-1728935922337.png

The patented solar thermal electric power generation system will be able to provide the complete energy needs for the two-story home on Marlane Drive, according to Meyer, including electricity, heating, air conditioning, hot water, and gas for gas appliances.

“With slight modifications,” the system could be used to provide energy for new and vintage homes, high-rise buildings, commercial structures, and many industries, he said.

Originally, Meyer had intended to have the system completed for a demonstration on July 4, but he decided to extend his work to make the system immediately adaptable for mass production after he proves it works, as he claims.

Although much of the necessary steel, oil, and gas supplies needed to have died from the 1973 energy scare, Meyer said a virtual halt in the availability of oil supplies to the U.S., possibly as the result of an Arab oil embargo, could place American industries and the economy in sudden jeopardy. He intends to have his system ready for production if that should occur.

“If the embargo comes, and I hope it does not, we will be prepared technically to be able to call upon all industry to assist in the production of this energy system and get it (to individual homes and manufacturing plants),” he said.

He has been making significant progress toward producing a final working prototype. The ongoing work continues on the mechanical processes and components, including the VIC (Voltage Intensifier Circuit) and mold injection technologies.

Meyer believes the public has shown a great interest in his work, as indicated by the worldwide patents being filed for the Water Fuel Cell. The patents have been issued under the premise that we'd bring the technology out and get the unit into production, and that's exactly what we plan to do as soon as possible.

Inventor Stanley Meyer dies

Stanley Meyer spent the last two decades of his life working on a formula that would enable a combustion engine to run on water, as opposed to gasoline.

Although Meyer, who believed he was close to perfecting the formula, died Saturday, his water fuel cell technology is expected to be carried on by his twin brother, Stephen.

Stanley Meyer, 57, was pronounced dead at 6:20 p.m. Saturday at Mt. Carmel West Medical Center after suffering what investigators believe was a brain aneurysm. He was taken to the hospital by ambulance shortly after becoming ill at a local restaurant where he was having dinner with Stephen and two other people, his brother said.

Grove City police have cordoned off Meyer’s home and lab on Broadway.

"Given what he did for a living, there are certain circumstances that we need to look at,” GCPD Capt. Dennis Ciesinski said. "It’s the coroner’s belief that a brain aneurysm occurred, but he’s waiting until the results of the toxicology test come back before making a final ruling.”

"Officially, we’re treating it as a questionable death," he said. "It’s not been 100-percent determined how he died. That is why we want to do a full investigation.”

Meyer said he never wavered in his belief that the water fuel cell technology would work. In layman’s terms, the water fuel cell uses electrical energy to divide a water atom under a controlled means, creating energy through the electrical stress across the molecule. The hydrogen gas produced from the process actually is the energy that is used to drive the machinery. He said the cell could be retrofitted to existing engines.

Meyer also said he had been threatened several times and offered billions of dollars for his patented technology.

"How could I live with myself knowing I had all that money in the bank and knowing that I sold the technology that could save the United States. We wouldn’t be reliant on other nations for oil anymore, and we’d be saving the environment by using the water fuel cell,” Meyer said as to his reason for not selling.

 

Barbara Ferret, Meyer’s sister, said her brother had finally achieved his life’s work before his death.

"At the time of his death, they (Stanley and Stephen) were celebrating because they had knocked down some final roadblock," she said.

“His twin brother is an engineer and he’s been working with Stan,” Ferret said. “He lives in Minnesota, and he comes in every two weeks. He was there with him for two weeks. He will take over the Water Fuel Cell Development Center to bring it to fruition.”

Ferret said she is aware that police have cordoned off Meyer’s Broadway home, but she does not know why.

“I suppose it’s very hush-hush,” she said. “All of his patents are in there.”

Ferret said she’s “shocked” at her brother’s sudden death.

“I just didn’t plan on burying a sibling,” she said.

Stephen Meyer, who has an engineering degree from Franklin University, said once police allow him into his brother’s Broadway lab, he will have a better idea of the direction Stanley planned to take the development center.

“Sure, we talked about it, but I also want to see his notes,” Stephen said. “We were working on that resonator and we planned to test the final model within the next five weeks, and we planned on having everything ready in the next three to four months.”

Mayor Cheryl Grossman said she got to know Stanley Meyer personally “to some degree” as his plans for the Water Fuel Cell Development Center were discussed by the Grove City Planning Commission, of which she is a member.

“I think a lot of people were very excited about the possibility of his dream lab being opened up as far as the research he was doing,” she said. “I don’t know the status of that will be affected, or what other plans involved.”

He is survived by his wife, Marilyn.

Funeral arrangements are being handled through Evans Funeral Home, 4171 E. Livingston Ave. Friends may call beginning at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, with a memorial service at 6:30 p.m. Thursday.

Local inventor gives car its first road test - October 17th, 1985

image-1728943904321.pngAccording to local inventor Stan Meyer, he had been waiting 10 years for what happened last Friday. That is when he drove his water-powered car, powered by the Water Fuel Cell, in a road test for the first time.

Among the witnesses were the Grove City Record; several friends and relatives of Meyer; Jack Cook of Jack’s VW Service; and Lt. Col. Stanley Parkinson of the United States Air Force.

To everyone’s astonishment, Meyer drove his Water Fuel Cell-powered dune buggy several times at distances covering nearly one mile, at speeds in excess of 50 MPH. The demonstration came nearly one year after Meyer presented the car in an idling condition for the Record.

Meyer said since those tests a year ago, he has been working on the acceleration controls and the method by which to accurately control the burn rate of the hydrogen gas. Although the system is not perfected, he said he is planning a demonstration for the national press within the next several weeks.

“Up until recently, we had the car idling on the Water Fuel Cell sitting on the ground and ran static testing,” Meyer said. “Then, we began working on the accelerator controls to learn how to mix the hydrogen gas, exhaust gas, and ambient air, for actual road testing under load conditions. That had to be done before the car could be driven. It is one thing to operate the car under lab conditions, and another to drive it on the road under load conditions,” Meyer added.

Air Force to examine

According to Lt. Col. Parkinson, he said there is no doubt that, “the system in the fuel cell is breaking down water in component parts via the Water Fuel Cell and operating the dune buggy.”

Parkinson has degrees in industrial and systems engineering and is a 25-year Air Force veteran. He has spent the last 15 years as an Air Force program manager and systems engineer in research and development of most and application of weapons systems.

“Technically, from my viewpoint, there is no doubt that the system can quickly break down water into hydrogen and oxygen. It is working. But to perfect it to a working system, we need more time and study,” Parkinson said.

“It will still take some time to work out the controls. I can’t tell how long that will be. It may be right around the corner. He may have a few more hills to climb, but it appears they may be climbed. Now he has to work out further control of the burn mixture of the gases, and he will have a real system.”

After a break, the gas tank was removed from the car, the hydrogen gas valve was opened, and the Water Fuel Cell was started and gas production began again. Meyer then drove the car, with assistant Charlie Holbrook manually adjusting the hydrogen flow.

Lt. Col. Parkinson was then given a ride of more than a half-mile at 21 MPH. Cook was given a ride of about 7 miles at speeds in excess of 50 MPH. The Record reporter then rode almost twice at about 7 miles between 45-55 MPH. Finally, Meyer drove the car almost at full mile at 50 MPH with Holbrook and another friend.

Although Meyer was excited by the performance of the car, the demonstration highlighted some areas that need improvement. He operated the car up grades with more than 940 pounds of passengers and equipment payload. The car accelerated well, but each time the dune buggy maneuvered around several small curves, Holbrook had difficulty maintaining constant hydrogen flow. When Meyer had to slow down, the hydrogen flow remained the same, thus flooding out the engine.

Also, before each test run, the car had to be started with gasoline, then switched to the hydrogen gas.

Inventor operates water car

Meyer said those problems would be solved as soon as he perfects the injection system for the car.
“When the injection system is perfected, we can start on hydrogen, and then run the car longer than we can on gasoline.”

Accomplishments

He knows he has work to do, but Meyer said he is pleased with last Friday’s road tests. He said several major events took place that were impossible up until then.
Before Friday, no one had efficiently burned hydrogen in an automobile without building a special engine, or mixing the hydrogen with water or gasoline. That results in most of the hydrogen being lost out of the tailpipe, Meyer said.

Also, no one had previously built a hydrogen device that could easily retrofit to an existing automobile without major changes.

And, no one previously had the answers of how to produce the hydrogen on demand, and adjust the burn rate of the hydrogen down to the burn rate of fossil fuels. The inventor said last week’s test served three purposes. He said he wanted to disconnect the umbilical cord of the lab unit from the car, observe performance under load conditions and acceleration, and have a self-sustained operation under low hydrogen gas backpressure of 12 to 14 pounds. He said all three were achieved.
While driving the car, he varied the rate of hydrogen gas generation from plain water by simply varying the field of a pulsing voltage frequency generator: “restricting the amperes for operation of the generator, I varied from one to two to 10 amperes for operation of the alternator in the lab unit,” Meyer said. “I varied the energy field from 1 volt to 110 volts to help demonstrate control over the volume of hydrogen generation under load conditions.”
Local mechanic Jack Cook (left), Lt. Col Edward Parkinson (center), and inventor Stan Meyer discuss the operation of the water-powered car during test runs last Friday. Meyer said he will demonstrate the car before the national press within the next few weeks.

He said the gas production was instantaneous when he increased the voltage, the pressure of the gas was maintained while the flow rate to the engine increased, and response of the engine was instantaneous, equaling or surpassing the use of gasoline.

Mechanic impressed

Meyer said local mechanic Jack Cook said he couldn’t believe it when the dune buggy started, ran, and stopped without gasoline.

“I looked the car over very carefully. There is no way the car could have been running on anything but hydrogen produced in the fuel cell. The only thing he has to do now is perfect the hydrogen injectors. He wanted to prove he could run the car on water, and he did it. I think he knows what he has to do. I have been a mechanic for 40 years and that is the most remarkable thing I have seen,” Cook said.

Now what?

Meyer points out that hydrogen is a more powerful fuel than gasoline. A car that gets 15 MPG on gasoline could go 45 MPG on a gallon of hydrogen, he said. Meyer said the car fuel cell produces hydrogen on demand. There is no storage of hydrogen, just water. Meyer said that surpasses all existing Federal safety regulations.


Emissions amount to water vapor, and water contaminants may be removed by a throw-away filter that should please the EPA. He said the EPA had not received back into the system, the water vapor would naturally be recycled back into the atmosphere.
Meyer points out that the Water Fuel Cell injector is still under construction.

“This is one of the first fuel injection systems for hydrogen which will match the burn rate of hydrogen to gasoline under road test conditions.”



Solar Energy: Local Project Could Solve National Crisis - March 18th, 1976

image-1728944461573.pngA revolutionary solar energy device being constructed just outside Grove City could have a phenomenal impact upon the national economy and the continuing search for cheap and plentiful sources of energy. But its inventor-designer says government officials at both the federal and state levels appear unwilling to give his concept any consideration.

Stanley Meyer, of 1063 Urlin Ave., Columbus, last week told The Record he believes his recently patented “solar thermal electric power generation system” is vastly superior to flat-plate collector solar energy systems which are presently commanding national attention, but to date efforts he has made to communicate his ideas to officials in both Washington, D.C., and Columbus have been fruitless. He is hoping a planned July 4 demonstration of the pilot system he is building at the Charles Hughes home, 222 Marlane Drive, will change that attitude.

Meyer, who studied optics engineering, electronics and mechanics at the U.S. Army Engineering College in Washington, D.C., later was employed by a communications firm. He said his training in optics technology and his work on systems for national power plants had spurred him into developing the solar energy system.

Basic to the system is the commonly observed phenomenon of concentrating sunlight through a magnifying glass to burn a hole in a sheet of paper or a dry leaf.


The inventor said his system, which uses plastic lenses about one inch thick constructed into a silo-shaped translucent structure, creates a similar effect, using high temperatures, although instead of generating heat, the system focuses the energy for electricity production.

Meyer explained the system he is building locally will provide the energy needs for a two-story home—including electricity, heating, air conditioning, hot water, and gas for gas appliances—but adds it is applicable to commercial and industrial power sources.

He said “with only slight modifications” the system could be used to provide energy for individual homes, farm buildings, commercial structures, and it “is readily adaptable for many industrial uses.” Its unique heating system uses heat stored within available water plants, enabling vast amounts of energy to be stored and ultimately making available vast amounts of energy for future use, which he says will help offset our reserves.

Actual work on the new system did not begin until July, since Meyer was involved with designing and testing several other projects. He said much of the delay was because he was waiting for governmental and industry approval for his plans, which would take several years. However, he did not feel we could afford to wait that long for their solutions and decided to work on my own.”

He received a special U.S. energy patent on the system in December 1975, only about three months after filing the initial application, making it one of the fastest patents ever awarded.

After that, he began efforts to gain governmental support for the system. The attempts included a personal letter to Gerald Ford and a request to speak personally with Gov. James Rhodes, but in both cases there was “no response.”

image-1728944342954.pngMeyer said he did succeed in speaking briefly with U.S. Rep. Samuel Devine (R-Columbus), who promised to arrange a meeting for him with prominent energy officials in Washington. That promise, however, resulted only in a five-minute talk with Samuel Taylor, whom Meyer said was “in charge of solar energy policies in Federal Energy Administration director Frank Zarb’s office.” Taylor said he was only interested in flat-plate collectors, according to the inventor.

He was also discouraged in an effort to seek funding from the Federal Energy and Research Development Administration when he determined it would likely take more than a year for his application to be acted upon.

Private industry’s reaction to his solar energy system was no more promising. Meyer said the typical response to his invention was “a combination of greed and apathy.”

image-1728944330011.pngMeyer, who studied optics engineering, electronics, and mechanical arts at the U.S. Army Engineering College in Washington, D.C. later worked with an optics and lens technician for a satellite installation affiliate company, said he developed the solar energy system he is constructing at home, using "new concepts based on known, proven principles."

Basic to the system is the commonly observed phenomenon of concentrating sunlight through a magnifying glass to burn a hole in a sheet of paper or a dry leaf.

The inventor said his system, which uses plastic lenses about one inch thick constructed into a silo-shaped translucent structure, creates a similar effect, using high-temperature rays, but the advantages of the system provide for heat retention, storage, and the generation of electricity.

Meyer explained the system he is building locally will provide electricity, heating, air conditioning, hot water, and other energy needs for the two-story home — including electric heating, air conditioning, hot water, and gas for gas appliances — but its design also makes it applicable for virtually any structure or need for any power source.

He said that "with only slight modifications" the system would be readily adaptable to many industrial uses, including heating buildings, commercial structures, residential homes, and ultimately making heat, vast amounts of energy released when the unclaimed oil is released from our oil reserves.

While most of us have only been reading about the Star Wars defense program that is being initiated by the U.S. government, one Grove City resident has recently become actively involved in it. His name is Stanley Meyer, the man who invented the Water Fuel Cell, recently attended a Pentagon visit with Lt. Gen. James Abrahamson, the man in charge of the program.

"The purpose of our meeting was to set up a centralized program capable of interfacing the Water Fuel Cell technology with the military very, very quickly," Meyer said. "The Strategic Defense Initiative will coordinate the efforts and cut across all the red tape to see that the Water Fuel Cell can get into this country without any foreign intervention."

The Water Fuel Cell is able to convert any form of natural water into energy. The system can be installed to work with existing machinery. This Water Fuel Cell was described in detail in the October 15 issue of the Grove City Record.

Another system designed by Meyer is the electrical particle generator (EPG) which can be used to convert air into power. Meyer said that it is so flexible it can be used with any mechanical system that works on a vacuum and can provide tremendous power. "The combined forces of the EPG and the water fuel cell as a vacuum system are very highly flexible in power," Meyer said.

Meyer's work up to this point has brought him 34 patents by working with the government on the Water Fuel Cell and the EPG. Meyer said that the patent process will be speeded up and the project funded by the armed forces.

"The Water Fuel Cell is ready to go, and the equipment needed to convert water to hydrogen for the nation can virtually be eliminated overnight."

The United States has become increasingly dependent on foreign countries for its energy. While in 1956 the country was importing 5 percent of its crude oil, we are currently importing 57 percent. Japan imports 97 percent. Therefore, the volatile middle east countries have a great deal of industrial base of this world.

"There is a tremendous dilemma in energy," Meyer said. "The people in Washington are seeing the need to come up with a viable, alternate energy source."

"This country must remain strong," he added. "We cannot negotiate from a point of weakness, and in our current condition, if our oil supply is shut off, we will have to go to war. What other alternative do we have, unless there is a safe and abundant source that can come in quickly to take over?"

According to Meyer, industry must be ready to work in conjunction with the government to implement the Water Fuel Cell. "If there is no government, there won't be a government, and without a government, there will be no military," he said, so the water fuel cell must go into all facets of the nation simultaneously. "If the fuel cell was put into the industrial bases of the world now, it would diffuse the building upheaval that is currently taking place."

"I keep the inherent design of the fuel cell [and EPG] related to space technology, as well. By being involved with the Star Wars plan, I found that technology could be equalized by how sophisticated and dependable the Water Fuel Cell technology is," Meyer said.

"We must recover from our energy dependency, and if the water fuel cell can come in and make things better, we're up with something here. Only history will prove whether I'm right or not."

Is Grove City Inventor Stan Meyer for real? - January 25th, 1990

image-1728763276721.pngIs Stan Meyer for real? Or is he some crazy Utopian-eyed idealist who doesn’t have a real grip on reality? As far as I’m concerned, Stan Meyer is for real. He is a live, flesh-and-blood man who claims he is getting gray hairs sooner than he should be as he fulfills a "divine" mission—creating a technology and related systems which would allow cars, trucks, planes, and ships to run on small amounts of any kind of water, as well as home heating systems, grain dryers, and much more, thus eliminating the world’s dependency on our ever-decreasing oil supplies and reducing the much-publicized "greenhouse effect" plaguing the world.

Revolutionary idea? You bet. Is it really something that can be achieved? From all indications, it seems highly likely.

The Grove City Record, Meyer’s hometown newspaper, first ran a copyrighted story about his invention in 1985, written by Editor Shannon Hamons. Follow-up stories have chronicled events as they have occurred since then, including a public unveiling of the buggy using water as fuel on October 11, 1986.

So, four years have passed and why haven’t we seen the dune buggy flitting around Grove City more? Meyer says that inventing is a complete process—including the technology as well as the engineering plans—it’s not something that can be completed overnight. Too many other inventors of world-shaking inventions have disappeared from sight and lost their rights to their own inventions as they’ve been either bought out or squelched in further development.

Learning from them, Meyer has protected himself and his revolutionary process for water fuel by legalizing all paperwork, filing patents on every part of his technology, and now by patenting all the designs—before anything is made public.

Meyer claims it’s been an up-hill battle all the way. There are many industries, countries, and individuals out there who would like to make sure his ideas never get past the drawing board—oil companies, the auto industry, countries whose economies revolve around oil profits, and others who stand to gain by keeping the new energy system off the market. By covering himself technically and legally every step of the way, he’s trying to make sure that his invention won’t be blocked from coming out on the marketplace. His life has been threatened, but he says that even if something should happen to him, he’s made sure the Water Fuel Cell technology will still be developed.

Because I’ve written articles and news releases since 1986 about Meyer, I get calls occasionally from all over the United States, as well as some inquiries from abroad, about him and what he’s doing. I’m not always able to answer everyone’s questions about the technical aspects of the invention. I’m not a scientist or engineer, and when I talk to Stan Meyer, it takes a lot of concentration on my part to follow along on his path to "free energy." I understand what he is trying to achieve, but sometimes the technical jargon slips off his tongue easily. Processes he’s describing like they’re mundane, everyday things to him seem like Greek to me. I’m learning, though… all the time.

I’m sometimes asked if I’ve "seen" anything or "read" anything that indicates that Meyer’s invention will really work. Well, our former editor Shannon Hamons witnessed the actual running of the car, and I’ve seen tapes of that event. I’ve seen the dune buggy (and I’m anxiously awaiting my first ride in it). I’ve seen the parts that have been invented by Meyer that allow the system to work, and I’ve seen tapes of actual testing of some of the complex circuitry during which the dune buggy is actually running. I’ve had access to some of his drawings and technical briefs and texts. However, I don’t always completely understand or maybe realize the significance of what I’m seeing or reading, and none of this proves that one of these days we’ll all be using water instead of gasoline in our cars, for example. What it does prove to me is that work is ongoing and Meyer is dedicated to his mission and is sincere in his belief that he’s on the right track to solving the world’s energy crisis problems.

There’s a very real possibility that this future—Grove City may be known worldwide as the birthplace of the Water Fuel Cell system, in the not-too-distant future. And if life as we know it will never be the same again.

Fuel cell creates excitement - November 8th, 1984

image-1728943619685.pngInventor Stanley Meyer of Grove City is creating a great deal of excitement with his "Water Fuel Cell" that efficiently extracts hydrogen from natural water for use as fuel.

Meyer first released his technology to the world in the October 25 issue of the Grove City Record. Since that time, dozens of individuals and companies interested in investing in the fuel cell have contacted Meyer.

Recently, the Record was present at a meeting between Meyer and a representative of a major utility company. Apparently, the utility company is convinced of Meyer’s claims regarding the operability of the fuel cell, and wants to invest in the construction of a "pilot electrical generation plant" using the water fuel cell technology.

“They (utility companies) realize what I have,” Meyer said. “They have checked my patents and know the capabilities of the fuel cell.”

Meyer pointed out, however, the construction of the pilot generation plant would not constitute any loss of his control over the technology. “Any such pilot plants would remain under the control of the Water Fuel Cell Company,” he said. “And no company or segment of the economy would have exclusive rights to the technology.”

He said although the technology may be used for the benefit of utility companies, it could be “simultaneously adapted for use by industries, the military, and individuals.”

He said, “I am setting up an engineering task force capable of coordinating the Water Fuel Cell technology between the military, industrial, and private sectors of the economy. Some people are concerned this power supply will be restrained to just a few. That is not true. It is going to all the American people.”

He said his primary goal is to introduce the fuel cell on a “bilateral movement” across the country.

The representative from the utility company, who declined to be identified as a condition of the meeting, said, “The millions of dollars utility companies are willing to invest in the fuel cell is just a drop in the bucket compared to what they spend on coal and oil.”

Another meeting is scheduled between Meyer and the representative within the next two weeks, and a more concrete investment figure will be available at that time.

Several engineering firms have also shown interest in becoming involved in the project. Mel Kosanchick of Kosanchick and Associates of Columbus said he is “excited about the project.”

“Since I met Stan last week, I haven’t been able to sleep. I’ve learned quite a bit and have seen a lot of data on hydrogen as a fuel source. The Japanese are working on it, even the Germans used it to a small extent during the war,” Kosanchick said, “But Stan has taken a whole different approach to breaking the bonds of the water molecule, and it appears he is the only one succeeding.”

image-1728945559299.png

Kosanchick said, since he has examined the technology, he has been trying to put it into perspective with other inventions. “When you compare this to flying, or even electricity itself, you realize this is something even bigger. In this process, you take just a little energy and create a whole lot more energy very cheaply. As an engineer, it is almost hard to imagine the potential.”

Another important development in the life of the infant water fuel cell may take place within the next several weeks. Meyer is having a clear plastic housing constructed for the water fuel cell that operates his water-powered car. After the housing is complete, he will road test the car for the public and press.

“It is imperative that everyone sees the operation of the car plainly,” Meyer said. “Because of the clear plastic housing on the water-powered car, no one will have any question as to what is taking place when the car is driven. Truth is a very powerful thing. When the car is operated for the public the first time, there will be no way this technology can be suppressed by anyone.”

“I have waited nine years for this moment (length of period) I took to develop, and along time to develop and along time to bring the power supply to prevent foreign interests from buying it out.”

 

Several recent breakthroughs are made in development of Meyer's fuel cell - January 21st, 1988

Grove City resident and inventor, Stan Meyer, is announcing that land has been acquired for Phase I and II of the...

...the proposed Water Fuel Cell Product Development Trade Center and that construction of facilities is scheduled to begin soon.

image-1728948593088.pngThe land is located north of Washington Court House in Ohio, between Routes 62 and 35. Options on other sections of the land have been secured, giving a total of 25 acres for the development. Plans have been designed and drawings are being considered by contractors as of this date.

Phase I will include the engineering building, facilities, and a task force of 600 highly trained staff members to translate the Water Fuel Cell technology into development of pre-engineering models using the tech base. High-ranking military personnel are being recruited to head up the military aspects of the technology. Within 10 years, Meyer anticipates expansion to 5,000 personnel. They will work together to translate, design, and test all aspects of the system into a finished product—retrofitting products, systems capable of running vehicles, planes, home heating sources, home energy sources, industry, etc. on water power. The first three basic task forces will work together on aspects of the system for 1) trucks, 2) home heating, and 3) electrical generation for home and industrial usage.

The technical base for the inventions has all been fully developed. Since the last article, several more patent allowances have been granted. One in Canada was granted within one hour of submission, indicating how important they consider the system to be. The Water Fuel Cell technology has been given top priority in Canada, the United States, Europe, and Japan, especially in light of the recent Mid-East problems involving shipment of oil.

"We had to totally legalize the tech base first," said Stan Meyer, "if you don't, you'd be subject to control or foreign intervention to block the technology and keep it from reaching the marketplace."

image-1728948612005.png

He says inventors are often unaware of patent laws, and even though their ideas are remarkable, they are deprived of getting them into the marketplace or receiving financial rewards if the legal steps aren’t followed closely.

"I learned all about this in the ‘school of hard knocks’ over the years," he added, "and didn’t want to make the same mistake twice."

Meyer is releasing more information about related technological advances which have taken place as part of the Water Fuel Cell development. His "Atomic Reduction Process," which utilizes voltage stimulation to alter the atomic structure of an atom, gives scientists a new tool with which to study atoms under a controlled state.

"This tool actually bypasses the atomic collider which was recently proposed for Ohio, and instead," he says, "Scientists can tap into and observe the atom with this process as they never dreamed of before."

Another development is that scientists, by using the technology, can combine atoms to form new molecules by changing the atomic characteristics in the Atomic Reduction Process. This information can lead to the development of rare or heretofore unattainable elements.

Another by-product of the technology is Meyer's development of the Desulfurization Process, which involves voltage stimulation to remove sulfur from coal. It uses the same technology as the Water Fuel Cell system and can be retrofitted to desulfurize coal economically under mass production.

Water Fuel Cell Corporation papers are being drawn up and will be filed in Delaware. The company will be international in nature. A controlled amount of stock will be placed on a foundation, and all assets will be rotated in a trust foundation with the foundation being a religious-based institution. Production with profits to be used, Meyer says, "to do the Lord's work." Corporate charters and legal paperwork pertaining to the issuance of stock is now taking form.

The purpose of establishing a corporation is to protect the technology, said Meyer. "Secondly, it gives us an ability to tap into funding." The technology is being presented to Congress right now for applications for funding, as well as to the military, the state, and with foreign governments. The need for an answer to the oil crisis is universal. For example, funding in Canada is being negotiated for $180 million and in the Common Market countries for $350 million, as well as in Japan, which has no import tax on 97% of their energy. Negotiations are expanding into other countries wanting to use the technology 


water as an energy source."

Meyer's Hydrogen Fracturing Process is based on simple knowledge. Releasing hydrogen and oxygen yields high thermal energy. That stops when the hydrogen and oxygen molecules combine to form a water molecule. Meyer has found a way to prevent this water molecule from taking place. An "avalanche effect" allows atomic energy to now take place from the hydrogen and oxygen atoms undergoing thermal gas combustion. According to Meyer, this process can be utilized for "hundreds of thousands of other applications by scientists." Current estimates of the energy produced in the process using one gallon of water is equal to that of 2.5 million barrels of oil. This pertains to atomic weight, and both oxygen and hydrogen are used in the process.

"We do it under a controlled state under high voltage," explained Meyer. "It's totally environmentally safe. There is no form of particle bombardment used in the process. It's really ultra safe."

Putting his "money where his mouth is," Meyer is now preparing a dune buggy using the Hydrogen Fracturing Process in a pre-engineering unit which he plans to take across the United States in mid-August or early September of 1988.

"We're streamlining it and designing it for high reliability," he says, "and will use it instead of a lab model. We're also negotiating right now to enter a car in the Indy 500 race. We've already located a car and have a resource which will provide three V-8, 12,000 RPM Buick engines for retrofitting. We're trying to get clearance from the Indy 500 Commissioners to introduce the car at the Indy 500 and are talking to sponsors about funding a Water Fuel Cell system specifically for that car."

Quenching Circuit Technology, which uses non-combustible gases to render hydrogen safe for high energy and high-speed racing, will be retrofitted into cars to run in such high-speed races. The technology lowers the energy of hydrogen to convert to the power rate of the high energy fuel currently used in Indy-style racing, and it also complies with existing rules and regulations.

"The car I'm working on is interested in looking at the safety aspects," said Meyer. "The only problem will be if a driver has an accident. Chances are it's going to get bad, but with Water Fuel Cell, which is simple and automatic, this is the only thing that will make water stand as a replacement for combustion fuels."

Meyer is working with NASA to utilize the Water Fuel Cell technology on manned space stations, doing preliminary work on these potential systems with the team at NASA.

As he puts it, "I'm at an exciting stage right now. Who knows exactly what the future holds?"
