Patented in 2022. Drawn by Stan Meyer in 1990. Side by side.

Two US patents granted in 2022 and 2023 (US 11,233,421 Quantum Kinetic Well and US 11,788,194 Quantum Kinetic Fusor, McKane B. Lee), next to Stan Meyer's own drawings. The Well's Fig. 2C: transistor, diode, a coil, the water cell, a coil to ground. Meyer's US 4,936,961 (1990) Fig. 1: pulse, blocking diode, resonant charging choke, water capacitor. The Well's bifilar chokes of resistive wire either side of the cell: Meyer's VIC Matrix, Memo WFC 426. The Fusor's housing, gas in at one end and out at the other, coils at each end, LED arrays down the sides, with a cell of 0.75 in over 0.50 in and a 0.0625 in gap: Meyer's Hydrogen Gas Gun, US 4,826,581 (1989), his cell dimensions from 4,936,961, and the gun itself from his estate. The LED cluster array: Meyer's Memo WFC 418, Fig. 1-6. On the two patents' front pages, as printed, no Meyer reference appears, though his method patent has been cited by 51 later patents. (We read the front pages; the examiners' file wrappers are public at USPTO Patent Center.) Meyer's patents have expired, and what they taught belongs to every builder. The full comparison, claims and numbers is episode 33, Prior Art, 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.
