Stan Meyer's lost Denver slides, rebuilt: four drawings that exist nowhere else

Stan Meyer lectured in Denver in 1997 with a projector full of slides, and the only tape of that night is too blurred to read. We went through every slide on it, 52 of them, and matched each one by its labels against the archive's drawings and his book, The Birth of New Technology. Most were already held. Four were in neither, so we redrew them from the tape: Polar Electron Stress (the WFC steam resonator atom), Figure 1-10 Hydrogen Fracturing Process Prior to Gas Ignition, the Amp Inhibitor Circuit, and an untitled slide of his bifilar resonant coils whose labels we read off a six-pixel blur (the ones we could not read are marked, not guessed). Three more from that night are still too blurred to rebuild: the atomic gas gun block diagram, the Resonant Propagation graphs, and the WFC Burner Nozzle Assembly. If you have a printed set of Stan's slides, send it in. The redraws 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.
