History
In 1989, an inventor by the name of Stanley Meyer claimed that he ran a dune buggy on water instead of petrol. He alleged that he had created a dune buggy which could travel across the United States on twenty-two gallons of water. He replaced the spark plugs with "injectors" to spray a fine mist of water into the engine cylinders, which he claimed were subjected to an eletrical resonance . The "fuel cell" would split the water mist into hydrogen and oxygen gas, which would then be combusted back into water vapour in a conventional internal combustion engine to produce net energy.He died in 1998 while celebrating the success of his invention with his brother and two financial backers from Belgium. Although his cause of death was stated as having been a brain aneurysm, many have speculated that he was poisoned so that the news of his invention would not spread and decrease the need for foreign oil. At the time of his death, Stanley Meyer had twenty patents on many water-fueled inventions. Who knows for sure?
Some of Stan Meyer's patents expired in June of 2007. But as of yet, no one has been able to duplicate his experiments. No one has been able to make an internal combustion engine run entirely on water.
