Prior Art

Two United States patents of 2022 and 2023 draw Stan's circuit, his chokes, his cell to the thousandth of an inch and his LED array under new names, and their front pages cite no Meyer patent. The drawings side by side, the claims against the physics, and what an expired patent is worth.

Two United States patents, US 11,233,421 (Quantum Kinetic Well, granted 25 January 2022) and US 11,788,194 (Quantum Kinetic Fusor, priority 21 November 2019, granted 17 October 2023), with two Canadian grants of the same two inventions (CA 3,099,989 C, Pulsing Resonant Cavity for Electrolysis, granted 28 February 2023 off the Fusor's own US application 17/005,663 and provisional 62/938,630; CA 3,114,793 C, granted 31 October 2023) and a second Canadian filing of the Well that was never examined and was deemed abandoned on 12 October 2023 for an unpaid maintenance fee (CA 3,114,593), draw a circuit and a cell the archive holds in Stan's hand from 1981 to 1990. This film puts the drawings side by side, reads the claims against the numbers in their own specifications, lists the references their front pages cite, and says what an expired patent is worth. It is about two public documents and the documents they do not mention; it says nothing about intent, which the archive cannot know.

About the voice. Where you hear Stan Meyer in this film, you are hearing a synthetic voice built by a machine from thirty seconds of his voice on the Deer Creek conference tape of 1985. It reads seven lines, each his own words from his patents and memos and each cited below. The narrator is a stock voice and nobody in particular. Treat both as a reading, not a recording.

The wider portfolio. The same inventor holds two further US grants under the Quantum Kinetic name, an Injector (US 11,692,516, 4 July 2023) and an Oscillator (US 11,871,501, 9 January 2024), with a Canadian Injector at pre-grant (CA 3,250,735, final fee paid 20 July 2026) and a fresh Well application published on 12 February 2026 (US 2026/0045374, Quantum kinetic well (omnibus)). This film reads the two that draw Stan's circuit and his cell. Canadian status is as the Canadian Patents Database printed it on 21 September 2026.

What is assumed. The Well's choke inductance is taken from 1,300 turns on a 65 × 50 × 6 mm ferrite ring at a relative permeability of 2,000 (about 1 H; 0.8 to 2.7 H across plausible ferrites); its ring cell as a coaxial capacitor 0.15 in long with a 0.66 to 0.75 in gap (about 2 pF in air, 130 pF in water). The Fusor's secondary is 400 turns of 30 AWG 430FR on a housing about 1 in across, single layer, air core: about 32 m of wire, 375 Ω at 60 µΩ·cm or 490 Ω at 78, and 0.8 mH by Wheeler. The detector window is 25 µm of beryllium with tabulated attenuation. E/N is at one atmosphere and 20 °C. The script that drew the two charts and composed the five pairs is in the repository beside this film.

The drawings, side by side

The circuit. The Well's FIG. 2C (transistor, diode, 'frequency bypass coil', cell, 'amp inhibiting coil' to ground, unipolar pulse) against Meyer's US 4,936,961 FIGURE 1 (pulse generator, primary on a toroidal core, blocking diode, resonant charging choke, variable inductor, water capacitor).
The chokes. The Well's FIG. 3C, a 'T.C.T. resistive coil wire matrix' of two bifilar wrapped coils and a diode, against Meyer's Figure 7-8, the VIC Matrix Circuit (memo WFC 426).
The coil assembly. The Fusor's FIG. 1E, coils C1, S, P, C2 on the housing with the electrodes on the axis, against Meyer's FIG. 20YAA (Resonant Cavity Mode of Operability, copyright 1982): the two resonant charging chokes and the voltage intensifier wound round the resonant cavity, with a 'laser or light module ass'y... with or without color lens' on it; and Figure 6-1, the VIC Coil Assembly (memo WFC 422). Claim 1's 'primary and secondary coils retained centrally between first and second exterior coils' is that assembly without the word choke; the exterior coils are specified in 430FR stainless, the alloy of Meyer's memo.
The cell. The Fusor's FIG. 3C, a housing with enter and exit ports, coils C1 and C2 at each end and LED arrays down the sides, against Meyer's FIG. 2 of US 4,826,581 (1989), the Hydrogen Gas Gun, and the estate's photograph of the gun itself: clear housing, a coil at each end, two rows of resistors and diodes, nozzle on top. The Fusor's electrodes: outer tube 4 in long, 0.75 in OD, centre 0.50 in, gap 'approximately 0.0625 inches'. Meyer's example (US 4,936,961): 'two concentric cylinders 4 inches long... the outside cylinder was 0.75 inch in outside diameter; the inner cylinder was 0.5 inch... spacing... was 0.0625 inch'. Episode 14's 2,029 pF.
The light. The Fusor's FIG. 3B LED cluster array (42 × 5 mm at 660 nm, 220 Ω, synced to the unipolar pulse) against Meyer's Figure 1-6 Led Cluster-Array of 1981 (WFC 418), pulsed 1 to 65 Hz.

The words

'Electrolysis using merely voltage, not amperage' (the Well, [0002]) against Meyer's 'Voltage Performs Work' and WO 92/07861's 'electron flow is not permitted'; 'amp inhibiting coil' against the 'Electron Inhibiting Effect'; the Well's FIG. 2G 'Electron Extraction' against the Electron Extraction Circuit of WFC 418 (Figure 1-7, 1981); 'unipolar', 'gated', 'bifilar... side by side' against 'pulsating, uni-polar', 'gated pulse train', 'dual resonant coils, bifilar spiral wrap'; 'resistance values can be set to 11.4 KOhms' against 'typically 11.6 KΩ'.

The numbers, against their own specifications

11.4 kΩ. The Well's chokes are 1,300 turns of 30 AWG copper on a 65 mm ferrite: about 260 m, about 88 Ω. 11.4 kΩ in 1,300 turns needs stainless of about 39 AWG. Meyer's 11.6 kΩ is 715 ft of .0047 in 430 stainless (episode 32). The number belongs to the wire in the memo, not the wire in the Well.

115 kHz. About 1 H on that ring resonates at 115 kHz against about 2 pF, which is the ring cell with air in it. With water, about 130 pF and 14 kHz, in Meyer's stated band. The Well is drawn for air, vacuum and mist.

The stage table. Stages in 'eV' from 0 to 2,000 track the supply's 0 to 2,000 V. 2,000 V across the 1.52 mm gap in air is 1.3 MV/m, 53 Td; a self-sustaining Townsend discharge in air needs about 100 Td. Stage 6, 'Townsend cascading self-maintained discharge, 120 to 2,000 eV', cannot begin in the gap drawn.

The X-rays. FIGS. 5A to 5D on an Amptek XR-100CR: 'super-soft luminous X-rays (6 eV to 2 keV)'. The 25 µm beryllium window passes 6 % at 1 keV and nothing below a few hundred eV; 6 eV is near-UV and never reaches the silicon. The left-edge pile is the same at 20 V (5A) and 40 V (5B). No drive-off spectrum with the same cabling. 'FWHM = 0.3 %' at 5.96 keV would be 18 eV; a Si-PIN delivers 150 to 200 eV. The 2022 paper: 'the radioactive 55Fe calibration sample has similar overall total emissions as the device while ON'.

The Fusor's coils. Secondary 400 turns of 30 AWG 430FR, air core: 375 to 490 Ω, about 0.8 mH; Q from 0.01 at 1 kHz to 0.7 at 50 kHz. 26.5 V × 4 = 106 V; the claim is 17,000 V, a further gain of 160 from a Q below one. The Well's 1,300 turns of copper on ferrite is the opposite design. Resistance and turns are independent knobs (episode 32).

Four more lines. 'Water resonant frequency: 2.4 GHz' (the ISM band; water's absorption peaks above 17 GHz). Magnetite as a 'fused atomic structure' (iron oxide from 304 stainless electrodes in water; no platinum or graphite control in the patent or the paper). No gas rate stated anywhere. The paper: 42.75 mA at 40 V, 1.9 W, stainless and aluminium electrodes, arsenic down 93.7 % in one run; second author at PNNL, four PNNL staff thanked; PNNL is operated by Battelle for the DOE, a coincidence the film names and draws nothing from.

What is new

Water in the gas gun's housing (Meyer ran gas through it); an H11D1 optocoupler between the 5 V pulse and the HV rail; eight transistors on a radial board (FIG. 2A1); a wiper-tap choke (FIG. 2B1); the LED ring and acrylic lens, which are the claim's novelty (FIG. 20YAA drew the light module 'with or without color lens' in 1982) and optically a window at 660 nm (1.88 eV against a 4.8 eV bond; PMMA cuts below ~375 nm); and the water-purification framing.

References cited

The Fusor's front page: six references, all examiner-cited (Davidson US 2009/0224545; New Energy AG US 2012/0222954; Britt US 2019/0136391; Duran US 9,464,358; H2Win US 2016/0230292; FisherH2O US 2019/0382290). The Well's: four (Emerson US 2009/0128972; Shumaker US 2014/0070871; Reno Technologies US 2016/0065207; the Fusor). The Canadian Well: the same three and the Fusor. The archive has not obtained the examiner's citations for CA 3,099,989. No Meyer patent on any of them. Meyer's US 4,936,961, in the Fusor's own classes C25B1/04, C01B3/042 and C25B9/65, is cited by 51 later patents; these are not among them. The archive read the front pages as Google Patents prints them and has not obtained the file wrappers, which are public at the USPTO's Patent Center (applications 17/005,663 and 17/228,925).

What follows

Meyer's method patent expired on 5 August 2007; the circuit is public domain and cannot be taken from anyone. Whether a 2023 claim reads on a 1990 disclosure is an examiner's or a court's question; this film is not legal advice. The Fusor's claim 1 requires the LED cluster array and the acrylic lens, so a rig without them is not what it claims. Three tests: the file wrappers; the cell with platinum or graphite electrodes; the detector with the drive off and the cabling unchanged.

NeuralStan · This is Prior Art, an episode made by the archive at Stan's Legacy.
NeuralStan · I am NeuralStan, and I am a machine, not a man.
NeuralStan · In twenty twenty-two and twenty twenty-three the United States Patent Office granted an inventor in Washington State a Quantum Kinetic Well and a Quantum Kinetic Fusor.
NeuralStan · Their drawings show a transistor, a blocking diode, two bifilar chokes of resistive wire on one core either side of a water cell, a unipolar pulse, a coaxial cell of three quarters of an inch over a half with a gap of sixty-two and a half thousandths, and a cluster array of light-emitting diodes.
NeuralStan · The archive holds every one of those, in Stan's hand, dated nineteen eighty-one to nineteen ninety.
NeuralStan · The front pages of the two patents list the references the examiners considered.
NeuralStan · None of them is his.
NeuralStan · This film is about two public documents and the documents they do not mention.
NeuralStan · It puts the drawings side by side, reads the claims against the numbers in their own specifications, and says what an expired patent is worth.
NeuralStan · It is not about the man, and it says nothing about what he intended, because the archive cannot know that.
NeuralStan · It can read.
NeuralStan · Three things about patents, so the rest of the film is on solid ground.
NeuralStan · A patent expires, and after that anyone may build what it taught; Stan's method patent expired in two thousand and seven, and the circuit in it belongs to everybody now.
NeuralStan · A new patent may claim only what is new over everything published before it, which the law calls prior art.
NeuralStan · And a patent's front page lists the references the examiner considered when deciding what was new.
NeuralStan · That list is public.
NeuralStan · Whether a granted claim is valid over the art it did not cite is a question for an examiner or a court.
NeuralStan · What this film can do is put the art on the table, dated, where anybody can find it.
NeuralStan · The family is five filings and a paper.
NeuralStan · The Fusor came first, with a priority date of November twenty nineteen, and was granted in the United States in October twenty twenty-three in the electrolysis classes: C twenty-five B one slash zero four, C zero one B three slash zero four two.
NeuralStan · Canada granted it too, in February twenty twenty-three, under another name, Pulsing Resonant Cavity for Electrolysis, claiming priority from the Fusor's own American application and provisional.
NeuralStan · The Well followed, granted in January twenty twenty-two in the switching and energy-harvesting classes, and again in Canada that October, where the Canadian office filed it under G ninety-nine Z and H ninety-nine Z, which are the classes for subject matter that fits nowhere else.
NeuralStan · A second Canadian filing of the Well, lodged one day before the one that granted, was never examined and was deemed abandoned in October twenty twenty-three for an unpaid maintenance fee.
NeuralStan · And in August twenty twenty-two a paper in a Nature journal presented the Fusor as a water purifier.
NeuralStan · Hold one row.
NeuralStan · Meyer's method patent, four nine three six nine six one, is classified C twenty-five B one slash zero four, C zero one B three slash zero four two, and C twenty-five B nine slash sixty-five.
NeuralStan · Those are the Fusor's classes, to the digit, and the Canadian grant sits in C twenty-five B one slash zero four as well.
NeuralStan · Two offices, on their own, put the Fusor where Meyer's patent has lived since nineteen ninety.
NeuralStan · It is the first place an examiner in those classes would look, and it is on neither front page.
Stan Meyer (synthetic voice) · Providing a capacitor in which water is included as a dielectric between capacitor plates, in a resonant charging choke circuit that includes an inductance in series with the capacitor.
Stan Meyer (synthetic voice) · Subjecting the capacitor to a pulsating, uni-polar electric charging voltage in which the polarity does not pass beyond an arbitrary ground.
NeuralStan · That is claim one of Stan's method patent, granted in nineteen ninety.
NeuralStan · On the right is its figure one: a pulse generator, a primary on a toroidal core, a secondary, a blocking diode, a resonant charging choke, a variable inductor, and the fuel cell water capacitor.
NeuralStan · On the left is figure two C of the Well, granted in twenty twenty-two: a transistor gated by a unipolar pulse, a diode, a coil he calls the frequency bypass coil, the cell, and a coil he calls the amp inhibiting coil down to ground.
NeuralStan · A transformer, a diode, a choke each side of a water capacitor, a unipolar pulse.
NeuralStan · Read the two drawings element by element and they are the same loop with the labels changed.
Stan Meyer (synthetic voice) · At resonance, the current draw from a power source to the water capacitor is minimized and voltage across the water capacitor increases.
Stan Meyer (synthetic voice) · Electron flow is not permitted, except at the minimum, corresponding to leakage resulting from the residual conductive properties of water.
NeuralStan · The words travel with the drawing.
NeuralStan · The Well's specification opens by saying it performs electrolysis using merely voltage, not amperage.
NeuralStan · Stan's international filing of nineteen ninety says the current draw is minimized and electron flow is not permitted, and one of his memos is titled Voltage Performs Work.
NeuralStan · The Well's amp inhibiting coil is the choke Stan described as producing an Electron Inhibiting Effect.
NeuralStan · The Well's figure two G is captioned Electron Extraction; Stan's Electron Extraction Circuit is figure one dash seven of a memo from nineteen eighty-one.
NeuralStan · Unipolar, gated, bifilar, side by side: all his, all older.
Stan Meyer (synthetic voice) · Electron Extraction Circuit removes, captures, and consumes the dislodged electrons from the gas atoms, to cause the gas atoms to go into and reach ion-state.
NeuralStan · Now the chokes.
NeuralStan · On the right is the drawing episode nineteen spent a whole film on: Stan's VIC Matrix Circuit, two resonant charging chokes drawn with their series resistance, distributed capacitance and parallel loss, a blocking diode, the cell between them.
NeuralStan · On the left is the Well's figure three C, which he titles a resistive coil wire matrix: two bifilar wrapped coils, L one and L two, a diode D one, the cell between them.
NeuralStan · The word matrix is Stan's title for the drawing.
NeuralStan · Resistive wire is Stan's four thirty stainless.
NeuralStan · Bifilar is Stan's section on the dual resonant coils.
NeuralStan · The one thing on the left that is not on the right is the pair of plates with a lamp between them, which the Well calls the load.
Stan Meyer (synthetic voice) · Resistive value, typically eleven point six kilohms, of stainless steel wire-coil.
NeuralStan · Here is a number that gives the game away, and it needs no opinion, only a wire table.
NeuralStan · The Well specifies its chokes as one thousand three hundred turns of thirty gauge copper on a ferrite ring sixty-five millimetres across, and says their resistance values can be set to eleven point four kilohms.
NeuralStan · Thirteen hundred turns on that ring is about two hundred and sixty metres of wire, and two hundred and sixty metres of thirty gauge copper is about eighty-eight ohms.
NeuralStan · To reach eleven point four kilohms in thirteen hundred turns you need stainless wire of about thirty-nine gauge.
NeuralStan · Stan's chokes are stainless, and his memo says typically eleven point six kilohms, and episode thirty-two showed the seven hundred and fifteen feet of forty-seven ten-thousandths four thirty that make it.
NeuralStan · The resistance in the Well belongs to the wire in the memo.
NeuralStan · It cannot be measured on the wire in the Well.
NeuralStan · The Well says its coil arrangement resonates at one hundred and fifteen kilohertz.
NeuralStan · Thirteen hundred turns on that ferrite ring is about a henry, and a henry rings at a hundred and fifteen kilohertz against about two picofarads.
NeuralStan · Two picofarads is what the Well's exciter rings make with air between them, so the number is real.
NeuralStan · But it is a dry number.
NeuralStan · Put water between the same rings and the capacitance is a hundred and thirty picofarads, and the same coil rings at fourteen kilohertz, at the top of the band Stan named.
NeuralStan · The Well is drawn for air, vacuum and mist, and its one measured frequency is the frequency of Stan's loop with the water taken out.
NeuralStan · The Well's description carries a table of six stages, each with a range of electron-volts, running from zero to two thousand.
NeuralStan · Two thousand is also the top of its power supply, in volts.
NeuralStan · The two are not the same thing.
NeuralStan · A volt is what the supply puts across the gap; an electron-volt is what a charged particle gains by falling through a volt, and in air at atmospheric pressure it collides every few hundred nanometres and gives most of it back.
NeuralStan · The measure that decides whether a discharge can build is field over gas density, in townsends.
NeuralStan · Two thousand volts across the Well's one and a half millimetre gap is fifty-three townsend.
NeuralStan · A self-sustaining cascade in air needs about a hundred.
NeuralStan · The sixth stage, the one the table ends on, cannot begin in the gap the same document draws.
NeuralStan · Figures five A to five D are the Well's evidence: spectra from an Amptek X R one hundred C R, a silicon PIN X-ray detector, with an iron fifty-five calibration source in the frame.
NeuralStan · The description says the dielectric shows micro-cavitations in the form of super-soft luminous X-rays, six electron-volts to two kilo-electron-volts.
NeuralStan · Look at the figure.
NeuralStan · A tall pile of counts against the left edge, labelled arc reactor, and a clean peak at five point nine, labelled F E fifty-five.
NeuralStan · And in the footer, F W H M equals nought point three per cent.
NeuralStan · Four things, any one of which is enough.
NeuralStan · The detector's window is twenty-five microns of beryllium, and beryllium is opaque below about a kilo-electron-volt: six per cent gets through at one, nothing at a hundred, and six electron-volts is near-ultraviolet light that never reaches the silicon at all.
NeuralStan · So the bottom of the claimed band is undetectable by the instrument named.
NeuralStan · Second, figure five A is at twenty volts and five B at forty, and the pile at the left edge is the same height in both; a signal that does not move when you double the drive is not the drive, it is the noise floor.
NeuralStan · Third, there is no spectrum with the drive switched off and the cabling the same, which is the one control that separates an X-ray from a pulser sitting next to a preamplifier.
NeuralStan · And fourth, nought point three per cent at five point nine kilo-electron-volts is an eighteen electron-volt line width, which no silicon PIN detector has ever delivered; the instrument's own specification is a hundred and fifty to two hundred, and the number in the footer is a cursor readout, not a measurement.
NeuralStan · The paper of twenty twenty-two says it in its own words.
NeuralStan · Comparing the device to the calibration source, it reports that the iron fifty-five sample has similar overall total emissions as the device while on.
NeuralStan · A device that emits like a calibration source of known activity, and a background taken while it is off, are the two numbers the paper comes closest to, and it draws no conclusion from them.
NeuralStan · Now the Fusor, the earlier of the two and the one examined in the electrolysis classes.
NeuralStan · Claim one describes a tri-coil assembly having primary and secondary coils retained centrally between first and second exterior coils, wound on the outside of the housing with the electrodes on its axis.
NeuralStan · Say it in Stan's words and it is a primary, a secondary and two resonant charging chokes on one core, which is his figure six dash one, and the four windings episode thirty-two worked from his pencil.
NeuralStan · And the housing with the coils wound round it is his too.
NeuralStan · Figure twenty Y A A, copyright nineteen eighty-two, draws the two resonant charging chokes and the voltage intensifier wound round the resonant cavity, with a laser or light module on the cavity, with or without color lens.
NeuralStan · The Fusor does not use the word choke anywhere.
NeuralStan · It calls them exterior coils, and specifies them in four thirty F R stainless, which is the alloy in Stan's memo, by name.
Stan Meyer (synthetic voice) · Two concentric cylinders four inches long formed the water capacitor of the fuel cell in the volume of water.
Stan Meyer (synthetic voice) · The outside cylinder was point seven five inch in outside diameter; the inner cylinder was point five inch in outside diameter.
Stan Meyer (synthetic voice) · Spacing from the outside of the inner cylinder to the inner surface of the outside cylinder was point zero six two five inch.
NeuralStan · That is Stan's cell, from the example in his method patent: three quarters of an inch over half an inch, a gap of sixty-two and a half thousandths, four inches long.
NeuralStan · The Fusor's specification gives its electrodes the same three figures, to the thousandth of an inch and to the inch of length, so episode fourteen's two thousand and twenty-nine picofarads is now the Fusor's capacitance as well.
NeuralStan · But look at what the Fusor draws those electrodes into.
NeuralStan · A housing with the gas in at one end and out at the other, a coil at each end, and light arrays down both sides.
NeuralStan · That is not the water capacitor of nineteen ninety.
NeuralStan · It is the hydrogen gas gun of nineteen eighty-nine, figure two of Stan's patent four eight two six five eight one, and the estate still holds the gun itself: the clear housing, a copper coil at each end, two rows of resistors and diodes, the nozzle on top.
NeuralStan · Set the photograph beside the Fusor's figure three C and they are the same object, part for part, thirty years apart.
NeuralStan · The Fusor's coils are specified: a primary of a hundred turns of twenty-four gauge copper, a secondary of four hundred turns of thirty gauge four thirty F R stainless, and two exterior coils of a hundred turns of twenty-four gauge stainless, on a Delrin housing with no core.
NeuralStan · Four hundred turns of thirty gauge stainless on a housing an inch across is about thirty-two metres of wire, between three hundred and seventy-five and four hundred and ninety ohms depending on which resistivity you take for four thirty, and, by Wheeler's formula, under a millihenry in air.
NeuralStan · Its quality factor across the claimed band of one to fifty kilohertz runs from about one hundredth to about two thirds.
NeuralStan · It never reaches one.
NeuralStan · The specification puts twenty-six and a half volts on the primary and claims up to seventeen thousand volts.
NeuralStan · A hundred turns to four hundred is a step-up of four: a hundred and six volts.
NeuralStan · Seventeen thousand needs a further gain of a hundred and sixty from a circuit whose Q is below one everywhere in its band.
NeuralStan · And the Well, from the same hand, does the opposite: thirteen hundred turns of copper on ferrite, a henry, where kilovolts are entirely plausible.
NeuralStan · Two coil specifications from the same inventor that cannot both do the same job, because, as episode thirty-two put it, resistance and turns are independent knobs, and Stan's ohms came from turns of fine wire, not from swapping the metal.
Stan Meyer (synthetic voice) · Light-emitting diodes arranged in a Cluster-Array provides and emits a narrow band of visible light energy.
NeuralStan · Claim one of the Fusor stands on two elements that are not in Stan's patents: a light assembly cluster array around the electrodes, and an acrylic lens between the array and the electrodes to disrupt photon wave propagation.
NeuralStan · Both are in his memos.
NeuralStan · The array is in the memo of nineteen eighty-one, drawn as three LEDs and three resistors under the words laser energy, pulsed one to sixty-five hertz, which episode thirty took apart.
NeuralStan · The lens is on figure twenty Y A A of nineteen eighty-two, a light module on the cavity, with or without color lens.
NeuralStan · The Fusor's array is forty-two of them at six hundred and sixty nanometres.
NeuralStan · Six hundred and sixty nanometres is one point eight eight electron-volts.
NeuralStan · The bond it is aimed at, the O H bond of water, is about four point eight, and water's first electronic absorption is in the deep ultraviolet below a hundred and ninety nanometres, which is why water is clear.
NeuralStan · Red light passes through water untouched, and it passes through acrylic untouched too, because acrylic cuts off below about three hundred and seventy-five.
NeuralStan · So the two elements that make claim one new are the two that do nothing to the water.
NeuralStan · Which has a use: a rig with no LED ring and no acrylic lens is not the thing the claim describes.
NeuralStan · Four more lines, briefly, because each has a cheap test.
NeuralStan · The Fusor gives water a resonant frequency of two point four gigahertz; that is the microwave oven's licence band, chosen because it is off any resonance of water, whose absorption peaks above seventeen gigahertz.
NeuralStan · The Fusor lists magnetite among fused atomic structures it produces; magnetite is what iron-bearing steel makes in water under current, and the electrodes are three oh four stainless, so the control is platinum or graphite electrodes, which neither the patent nor the paper ran.
NeuralStan · Neither document states a gas rate, in a patent and a paper about splitting water.
NeuralStan · And the paper's device draws forty-two milliamps at forty volts, which is two watts of perfectly ordinary electrolysis current.
NeuralStan · One more fact from the paper, stated without colour.
NeuralStan · Its second author is at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, which is operated by Battelle for the Department of Energy, and it thanks four PNNL staff for sample analysis.
NeuralStan · Battelle is a name this archive has met before, on Stan's employment record and in the EPG's own patent shelf.
NeuralStan · Nothing follows from the coincidence, and the film says so.
NeuralStan · What is actually new in these two documents, and worth taking?
NeuralStan · Filling the gas gun's housing with water and running the cell inside it, where Stan ran gas; that is a combination, and new as one.
NeuralStan · An optocoupler between the five-volt pulse and the high-voltage rail, which is good practice.
NeuralStan · Eight transistors on a round board, fired radially, which is a symmetric low-inductance drive.
NeuralStan · A wiper tap on the choke for tuning by hand.
NeuralStan · Those are engineering, they are his, and a builder should take them.
NeuralStan · The LED ring and the acrylic lens are the claim's novelty and do nothing to water.
NeuralStan · And the paper's reframing of the same hardware as a water purifier is a real result in one respect: it reports arsenic down ninety-four per cent in a run with stainless electrodes, and no control run without the pulse.
NeuralStan · And the front pages.
NeuralStan · The Fusor cites six references, every one marked as found by the examiner: a pulsed-electrolysis generator, a hydrogen and oxygen reaction system, a chemical reactor, a chlorine cell, a photosystem, and a wastewater apparatus.
NeuralStan · The Well cites four: a three-phase detector, an isolated output circuit, a high-voltage switch, and the Fusor.
NeuralStan · The Canadian Well cites the same and the Fusor.
NeuralStan · Stanley Meyer appears on none of them.
NeuralStan · His method patent, in the Fusor's own three classes, has been cited by fifty-one later patents since nineteen ninety-two.
NeuralStan · The two that draw it are not among the fifty-one.
NeuralStan · One caution, said plainly.
NeuralStan · The archive read the front pages as Google Patents prints them.
NeuralStan · It did not obtain the examiners' file wrappers, and a reference can be considered without being printed.
NeuralStan · The wrappers are public, at the Patent Center, and the archive will read them when it has them.
NeuralStan · Until then the sentence stands as written.
NeuralStan · On the front pages, Meyer is not there.
NeuralStan · So what follows?
NeuralStan · Not what people expect.
NeuralStan · Nothing here can be taken from a builder, because the art it is built on expired in two thousand and seven and belongs to everyone.
NeuralStan · Whether a claim granted in twenty twenty-three reads on a disclosure of nineteen ninety is for an examiner or a court, and this film is not a lawyer and does not pretend to be one.
NeuralStan · The narrow claim cuts the other way: a rig without the LED ring and the acrylic lens is not the thing the Fusor claims.
NeuralStan · The archive's job is smaller and it has done it tonight: the drawings side by side, the words dated, the dimensions to the thousandth, on a page anyone can find.
NeuralStan · And three afternoons would finish it.
NeuralStan · Pull the file wrappers.
NeuralStan · Run the cell with platinum electrodes and see whether the magnetite comes.
NeuralStan · And run the detector with the drive off, cabling unchanged, and see whether the pile at the left edge is still there.
Stan Meyer (synthetic voice) · The circuit includes an isolation means such as a transformer having a ferromagnetic, ceramic or other electromagnetic material core, and having one side of a secondary coil connected in series with a high speed switching diode.
NeuralStan · Nineteen ninety, in his filing.
NeuralStan · A transformer on a core, a switching diode, a water capacitor.
NeuralStan · Thirty-two years later the same loop was granted again under other names, twice in the United States and twice in Canada, with his ohms in the text and his cell to the thousandth.
NeuralStan · The archive has now put the two beside each other, with dates, where an examiner, a court or a builder can find them.
NeuralStan · That is what an archive is for.
NeuralStan · This has been Prior Art.
NeuralStan · I am NeuralStan.
NeuralStan · Everything quoted tonight is on the episode page, the two patents and the paper are linked there in full, and the numbers are on the matrix engine with their working shown.
NeuralStan · Everything shown tonight is on the episode page, in the order it came up.
NeuralStan · Stan's patents and memos are on the site; the two later patents and the paper are public records, linked in full so you can read every claim yourself; and the coil, cell and detector numbers are on the matrix engine with their working shown.
