The Water Fuel Cell is an electrolysis device which is claimed to break water into hydrogen and oxygen gas using less energy than the energy present in the bond itself. The Water Fuel Cell was claimed to produce several times more energy than it consumed. Since this violates the current theories of conservation of energy, it is most likely a hoax. Stanley Meyer invented it and was granted patents in 1989 & 1990. (Note that a patent merely gives the inventor exclusive rights to his/her idea. It does not imply that the idea actually works.)
Water-fueled car
"It runs on water" is a video with Stanley Meyer demonstrating the water fuel cell in a car. Meyer claimed that he could run a car on water instead of gasoline, using his water fuel cell. The water in the gas tank was turned into hydrogen gas, and the hydrogen gas was combusted with oxygen in the engine, producing water for exhaust. However, it didn't always work, and was unreliable. Meyer said that the pulsing was key, and it wasn't always pulsing correctly. It failed to work during a required demonstration of the water-fueled car. An Ohio court found Stanley Meyer guilty of fraud in a case brought against him by disgruntled investors.
StanleyMeyer was granted patents in the United States and abroad starting in 1989; patents, however, are not equivalent to peer review, and do not imply the findings have been confirmed and reproduced by independent parties.
Meyer has presented his fuel cell device to Professor Michael Laughton, Dean of Engineering at Queen Mary College, London, Admiral Sir Anthony Griffin, a former controller of the British Navy, and Dr Keith Hindley, a UK research chemist.
According to the witnesses, the most startling aspect of the Meyer cell was that it remained cold, even after hours of gas production as his system appeared to operate on mere milliamperes, rather than the amperes that conventional electrolysis would require.
In this office the patents of Meyer were dispatched in 8 months, which is a short time and in which proves that they thought that this technology was significant, more especially as in other texts it is known as on the contrary that 200.000 applications of patents were on standby.
Meyer (who since 1980 had spent more than 1,6 million dollars) thus deposited a request in rejection of the decision of this Court of Justice against the judge who ridiculed the laws of the Higher Council of Justice of L ' Ohio while at the same time the scientific confirmation is held.
Meyer calls his electrodes of the exciteurs, in fact, they are parallel stainless steel plates placed in parallel or according to a concentric diagram.
