No lab ever tested Stan Meyer's circuit? A university did, in 2012

Heard that no scientist ever put Stan Meyer's circuit on a bench? In 2012 the Institute of Solid State Physics at the University of Latvia built the kind of circuit his patents describe: a bifilar pulse transformer and a blocking diode feeding the water, the same arrangement of parts as Stan's Voltage Intensifier Circuit. Their chapter names three of his patents (US 4,613,779, 4,798,661 and 5,149,407) and says nobody had yet explained how these schemes work. What they measured: for the first microsecond the cell charges like a capacitor, and the gas comes afterwards, as that charge drains. The cleaner the water, the higher it charges: about 640 volts in deionised water, falling to tens of volts once electrolyte is added. They claim no free energy; none of their efficiency figures pass 100%. It's careful lab work on the question Stan raised: the water as a capacitor. The full chapter is open access and 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.
