Stan Meyer - Genius Or Crazy Man? A Brief Insight At Who Was Stanley Meyer

March 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Stanley "Stan" Allen Meyer was born on August 24, 1940 and died on March 21, 1998. Stanley Meyer was an American inventor who some would say was crazy, while others would agree to his genius in inventing the controversial system known as the "fuel cell" or "water fuel cell" that Stan Meyers believed would replace gasoline as the sole fuel source for automobiles and put an end to the dependency upon gasoline as the main source of fuel.

Stan Meyers coining the words "fuel cell" is considered contradictory to its usual meaning in science and engineering, in which such cells are more conventionally called "electrolytic cells."

Meyers described in an early 1990 patent the use of a "water fuel cell assembly" and portrays some images of his "fuel cell water capacitor". According to the patent, in this case "...the term fuel cell refers to a single unit of the invention comprising a water capacitor cell... that produces the fuel gas in accordance with the method of the invention."

In a news report on an Ohio TV station, Meyer demonstrated a dune buggy which he claimed was powered by his water fuel cell. He estimated that only 22 US gallons (83 liters) of water were required to travel from Los Angeles to New York. Furthermore, Meyers claimed to have replaced the spark plugs with "injectors" to spray a fine mist of water into the engine cylinders, which were subjected to an electrical resonance. The water fuel cell would split the water mist into hydrogen and oxygen gas, which would then be combusted back into water vapor in a conventional internal combustion engine to produce net energy.

One thing is for sure and that's the fact that Stan Meyer goes against the grain when it boils down to science and engineering, but one must admit that what Stanley Meyer has done is raise the question and most importantly the interest of many who feel that water can and hopefully someday replace gasoline as a source of fuel for automobiles.

Stanley Meyer was a revolutionary thinker who many in the main stream would call unconventional, but for the average individual, Stan Meyer was a man with an honest approach in the utilization of water as a viable, and practical fuel source.
