Stan Meyer put a dome over his flame, then turned the exhaust into drinking water

Stan Meyer put a dome over his flame. In Switzerland in 1989 he explained why: a catalytic block, a hemisphere that turns any gas escaping the flame back into it, so that, in his words, 100% of the gas coming out of the fuel cell is burned. His Figure 2-8 calls the space under the dome the secondary combustion zone. Then he went further. His Hydrogen Gas Reclaim System (Fig. 39, © 1983) puts a cooling coil over the dome to condense the burnt gas back into water, with a tap marked drinking water, bacteria free, contaminate free. On the same tape: the contaminants stay in the cell, and any bacteria riding out with the gas cannot live through a 5,000-degree flame. The memos are on stanslegacy.com.

About the voices. The narrator is NeuralStan, an AI voice the archive uses for its made films. Where you hear Stan Meyer, it is Stan: every word of his is cut from an original recording, and nothing he says was synthesised.
