Toby Grotz on the Water Fuel Cell papers, and the SAFE engineers' visit

Dr. Gary Johnson has pointed out some of the technical errors he has found in the literature concerning the Water Fuel Cell. The same type of errors can be found in the proceedings of the 1993 International Symposium on New Energy. A case in point is on page 395 where the light emitted by a LED is in the next sentence attributed to a Laser. The Swiss Association for Free Energy (SAFE) has reported that two Mechanical Engineers working in the Hydrogen Fuels Industry have visited the U.S. to see the Water Fuel Cell. These two engineers reported that the engine to which the Fuel Cell was connected showed no signs of discoloration due to heat (i.e. it had never been run) and that it would not run the way it was plumbed.
Sincerely,
Toby Grotz
Editor's comment
NEN's policy is to publish both favorable and unfavorable factual information. We have written to the Water Fuel Cell people and asked for their response. We will publish their response when it is received.
About this letter
Grotz had put Meyer on the short list of eleven "promising devices of great interest" in the review he wrote with Patrick Bailey for the IECEC of August 1993; this is the same reviewer, two years on. Page 395 of the 1993 proceedings falls inside Meyer's paper, "Atomic Energy Balance of Water", pages 389 to 407, whose abstract matches WFC 424.
The SAFE report is second-hand here: Grotz does not name the engineers or give a date, and the archive has not found SAFE's own account. SAFE had hosted Meyer at its Einsiedeln congress in 1989 (raum & zeit's report). The archive has found no reply from WFC in the issues that followed.
