The Filling Station

Stan's twin brother filed his own patent in 2004: three-phase alternators, impedance matching, and a cell you could actually buy the parts for. Most of it is ordinary good engineering, and one sentence in it is worth an afternoon on your bench.

What was shown

Stanley Meyer had a twin. Stephen Foster Meyer filed his own patent on 22 April 2004 — Hydroxyl Filling Station, published as US 2005/0246059 A1 — and it is a different kind of document from his brother's. No new physics is claimed. It is a machine built out of parts you can buy.

Dual three-phase generators feed six impedance matching circuits on six cards, driving six triple-element arrays submerged in a water bath. A jacket cools the cell. A computer runs it. The gas goes through a liquid trap, a flow restrictor, a compressor, a storage tank, a safety cut-off and a flashback arrestor before it reaches anything.

The sentence worth an afternoon

the frequency of FIG. 5 is adjusted to match the electrical wave-length of the arrays 132 and the impedance of water bath 133

That is two different jobs in one clause, and they live in different worlds.

Matching an electrical wavelength means making the element a resonant length. In water a wave travels at about a ninth of its free-space speed, so a three-inch element is a quarter wave at 111 MHz. At the frequencies a cell is driven at, the array is electrically a point — at 1 kHz a quarter wave in water is 8.5 kilometres. Nothing is standing on that tube.

Matching an impedance is the other thing, and it is the one his circuit is doing. A source delivers the most power into a load equal to its own impedance. It is true at any frequency, it needs no resonance, and the peak is broad: you keep half the available power across a 34:1 spread, which is why it is worth attempting on a bench rather than being a counsel of perfection.

What else he quietly got right

decision why it matters
three-phase, six-pulse ripple falls from 100% of peak to 13.4%, with no capacitor
water jacket cooling 60 °C → 25 °C roughly doubles cell resistance, so the same current needs twice the voltage — exactly what he says the jacket is for
liquid trap, flashback arrestor, safety cut-off hydrogen and oxygen premixed is not a thing to be casual about

And the name is right. At 100 A per array across six arrays, Faraday gives 274 litres of hydrogen an hour — a 5,000-litre tank takes 18 hours, at perfect efficiency. It is a station. It fills overnight, like charging a car. That is a design, not a shortfall.
