All,

I'm considering setting up an email discussion list for people who
want to cooperate in developing the water fuel cell. I have been very
interested in Stanley Meyer's device since I saw a TV documentary
about it about 7-8 years ago and am currently starting to try to
replicate it myself. I imagine that some people may decide to try to
make some money by producing units for people, but the main aim of the
list is to create exact construction and tuning details and distribute
it for free on the net. Assuming the device really does work, I'm
interested in creating a serious information pack for DIY people and
those with basic electronics skills to build it and use it how they
like - preferably the info pack should be as close to a no-brainer as
is possible. The people who are repressing this technology will find
it very hard to repress masses of people from building it in their own
homes. Essentially we want to liberate the technology.

The need for such a discussion list was conceived due to the fact the
serious supporters of this technology can't use newsgroups because
they get pounced upon by skeptics etc. The list would be heavily
moderated and would hopefully provide a safe area in which to exchange
ideas and help each other from a technical point of view, and would no
doubt contain a mixture of experts and amateurs.

I want to figure out if there would be much demand for this list as
what I have in mind would require some money out of my own pocket. I
imagine there might only be say about 20 subscribers, although the
more the better. Would you be interested in such a group? Do you think
it's a good idea? If you would be interested in joining such a list
then please contact me, preferably by email.

Skeptics need not reply to this posting. Please express your opinions
in other newsgroup threads, thank you.


Sincerely,
Marin

The only thing repressing this "technology" is the fact that it doesn't
work.

True believers only then is it? Rational thinkers need not apply? You
know, things that are real can stand up to a little healthy skepticism.
Only fictional bunk needs a skepticism free environment to thrive.

Even from the grave, Meyer continues to separate the gullible from their
money.

Request denied. Once you have your little dictatorship set up on your
kooky Meyer mailing list you'll be able to dictate who posts or doesn't
post on it. But this is an open forum and you are nobody. So screw you,
kook.

So you're saying that 'Water Fuel Cell' proponents can't handle the
illumination of scientific review/criticism?

You're right, the 'WFC' cult is better off in it's own underground
newsgroup.

You can't get more energy out of a fuel cell than you put in. Water doesn't
combust. To make it combust you have to split the hydrogen out, which takes
more energy than you get when you combust it again.

This is a dead end, only interesting to braindead suckers.

Even more fundamentally, the quality of the energy degrades
significantly during splitting.

From thermodynamic fundamentals, a kilowatt hour of electricity is
INHERENTLY worth a lot more than a kilowatt hour of hydrogen.

Sorry Marin, but when you post a pseduo-science thread to a sci
hierarchy newsgroup you implicitly invite criticism based on real
scientific knowledge.

In this case, Stan Meyer's "Water Fuel Cell" has already been soundly
debunked as being a fraud based a pseudo-scientific, nonsense concept.
Given the fact that no one has yet made a WFC work, science
demonstrates why it cannot work, and its promoter has been proven to
be the perpetrator of a fraud, it's difficult to imagine anyone not
incredibly ignorant continuing to whip this old, dead horse!

In the future, if you don't wish to read informed scientific opionion,
don't post in a sci hierarchy newsgroup! It's as simple as that.

Of course! How silly of me, I forgot. The same as I forgot that
enzymes can't reduce the amount of energy required to perform a
reaction.

Wow, you don't say? Maybe that's why they use it to put out fires?

You know, I reckon you've actually been reading up on this stuff and
cottoned onto the idea behind it.

I'd love to see you prove that categorically, especially when our
models of the universe are incomplete.

The "proof" lies in not one exception to normal sized thermodynamics
~ever~ having been convincingly shown. Nor so much as a possible
mechanism for such an exception.

And to the centralmost role thermodynamics plays in virtually all
science and engineering.

It is a matter of probabilities.
No sane scientist or engineer would fight the house odds.

When you say work what exactly do you mean ? I have built a Meyer WFC and it successfully splits water into
hydrogen and oxygen. Thats all. It is NOT an overunity device and there is no reason for it to be. Faradays
law of electrolysis still applies. The water is electrolysed by an electric current traversing it and not by
voltage alone.

Meyer claimed to be able to fuel a car with nothing but water. That
directly requires the water fuel cell to operate as a overunity
device.

Thank you for confirming that Meyer was a fraud.

The ridiculous technical mistakes in the Meyer system (obviously gross
impedance mismatch, incorrect electrode choice, wildly wrong waveforms)
would seem to guarantee that the efficiency was only the tiniest
fraction of normal industrial practice.

You're of course pulling our collective legs! ;-)

Meyer's WFC was picthed entirely on implicit and explicit claims of
over-unity performance, otherwise no one would have had any reason to
invest in it. In fact, its failure to measure up to these claims seem
precisely what led to his fraud charges against Meyer, when his device
was revealed to be doing nothing more than perform ordinary
electrolysis (and evidently not even that efficiently, judging from
his WFC design depicted in his patent).

Then too, if you were suckered into building one of his devices, shame
on you! That makes as much sense as having someone tell you that if
you take enough Vitamin C you can breath underwater, then actually
trying to do so yourself. Education conveys familiarity with at least
some of the knowledge that man (civilization) has accumulated, hence
helps most of us avoid repeating the foolish mistakes of those who
lived before us, to use what they learned as our information
foundation, and to build upon that foundation.

It is such a terrible waste of human endeavor to expend any effort
whatsoever on replicating the unfounded claims of fools, lunatics, and
confidence artists.

At least that's how it appears to me.

PURE BULLSHIT, Mr. Ward, and you know it. The 10 amps at 24 volts (240
watts) is sent to the primary of the high-voltage circuit, where it is
converted to high-voltage, very low amperage as described in the next
section below, at 50% duty cycle, where only HALF of the original
10amps at 24v input ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (120Watts) is actually used.
There is no TV flyback transformer I know of that will hand 10 amps at
its high-voltage output.
As an engineer, for you to make such spurious emmissions is beyond
belief, and shows an open intent to obfuscate and deny actual honest
results, and you know it.

More crap from someone who is supposed to be an engineer.
The output of a flyback tramnsformer IS and has ALWAYS BEEN high volts
and milliamps of current. ANYONE who has seen the ouput coil on a
flyback transformer can clearly see very thin conductors, capable of
only very small amperages, and anyone who knows the use of flybacks in
TV's knows that they produce thousands of volts at very low amperage
levels.
More lying and bad engineering (let alone science) conduct from you, Mr.
Ward.
This circuit is ANYTHING BUT a standard electrolysis circuit, and you
know it.

More lies. Current is always required in the primary of this type of
high-voltage circuit, but the OUTPUT END of the circuit, which is what
is feeding power to the cell, is a flyback transformer, outputting
thousands of volts, totally incapable of handling anything but a few
milliamps of current without burning up instantly.

MOre fabricative crapola, MR. Ward, and you know it as well.
"any frequency between 9 KHz and 143762 KHz works quite well). This is
because the nature of the wave form of a spike is rich in harmonics"
is hardly what you would call a description denying the relevance of
frequency in the process.

ABSOLUTE, PURE CACA, Mr. Ward,
and anyone who understands what he wrote,
and flyback circuitry knows this.
This is ANYTHING BUT a low-voltage,
high current output circuit feeding the test cell -
it is, without question,
a flyback circuit,
totally incapable of such output,
and capable of high-voltage at milliamps of current,
which is EXACTLY what this person witnessed
in a totally non-electrolytic separation of water.

Electrolysis uses low voltage and high current, and an electrolyte,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
none of which were present in the cell producing the gases.

Fascinating collection of speculative presumption and character
assassination.
Mr. Conover has spent a good amount of time mixing fact and fiction
here, and he should be darkly lauded for the dexterity with which he has
combined the two.

Yes, of course - begin your dissertation on patter
by using your own patter in order to "set the stage" for the
story of character assassination you plan by describing
the same method you are using, and blaming Stan Meyer for doing it.
Wonderful technique, Mr. Conover.

Uh - not exactly.
The WFC separated water into hydrogen and oxygen,
which was then sparked by the ignition and spark plug.

No - that's what you say he said.
Actually, every typical electrolysis cell is already a capacitor.
Why deceive, Mr. Conover?

Note the description _ "a rather crude high-voltage pulse generator" -
more slight of hand word usage from our amateur magician, Harry Conover
to discredit a simple circuit required to supply high voltage at limited
current.
Actually, Mr. Conover had himself a good chuckle one day in the past
by claiming that the toroid output transformer in Meyer's design
couldn't possibly have an output because the input was DC pulses,
which, of course is pure misdirection and fraud since it is well known
that DC pulses in the primary of such a device will of course create
an output in the secondary.
It was later indicated by the actions of Don Lancaster, who actually
posted a question about flyback transformers (TV type high voltage
transformers that run on pulsating DC) that Mr. Conover knew
all along that Meyer's transformer would output from DC pulses in,
but was blatantly and misleading people by lying when he laughed at the
Meyer design as bogus.

No, not just hydrogen, but oxygen as well.

Ah, now here comes the good part -
the innuendo of criminality from the same person who
attempted to describe a commonly used flyback circuit
in the Meyer patent as fraudulent and incapable of output.

Has Harry Conover so far committed any criminal acts in his post here?
Technically, he could be brought into court, and proven to be lying
about some things he's said so far. So, is Harry Conover a criminal
who just hasn't been prosecuted for his activities yet?

> Meyer
> was hauled into court by some of his investers,

More lying.
Meyer was sued by ONE investor,
of all the people who invested in his work -
ONE.

Highly and deftly inaccurate.
The "expert witnesses" were "expert" witnesses
hired to provide anything they could to discredit Meyer,
just like every other paid "expert witness"
who is hired to appear in court, such as the DNA "expert"
in the OJ Simpson case, who "proved" that despite the fact
that the blood found at the scene contained
DNA exactly like Simpson's, there was no way to prove
it was his, despite the fact that the chances of it being
someone else's were, oh, say one in 5,000,000 or so.
For enough money, I can hire an expert witness that can
"prove" that Harry Conover may have been the murderer.

Part of their means for "proving" that the WFC was "nothing
but a poor electrolyzer" was to add electrolyte to the water
in the cell, drastically reducing the dielectric strength of
the water in it, and basically rendering the cell inoperative,
since its control circuitry was designed to STOP all input to
the cell during any input current over a few MICRO amperes.

Meyer complanied about what they did, then the tape recorder
used to keep the courtroom dialogue suddenly stopped working,
while the judge refused to let Meyer clean the electrolyte-
saturated water out of the cell so that he could demonstrate
it in proper operation.

The plaintiff was awarded a minuscule amount in damages
(I think it was $1), and his investment back.
Meyer had no "expert witnesses"- just himself there with his lawyer.

Good cop out, Mr. Conover.
However, for an extended period of at least several months,
anyone who wanted to investigate the Meyer device was invited
to do so at his demonstration facility in Ohio.
ANYONE, including Harry Conover could have gone there
and interrogated the living daylights out of Meyer
while scrutinizing his device in action,
and Harry Conover KNEW IT.
His claim :
"To my knowledge, Meyer never
conducted a demonstration in front of a critical audience holding
any level of expertise in the area of his claims" is totally bogus.

He was HERE when JW told everyone to GO to the demo, and where it was,
but nobody here went.

Given this, Mr. Conover appears to be as big

Lovely assemblage of half-truths and outright lying.

One of his "victims" as Conover describes them,
is right here, in this NG. So Harry Conover
has again been caught in yet another lie.
Who is he?
JW, who goes under the moniker "None of Your Business"
He's been adamant here about Meyer's honesty for YEARS,
but Mr. Conover, who just loves to mix fact with fiction
in order to defame inventions and their inventors,
has failed to mention someone he knows quite well
who has been RIGHT HERE IN THIS NG for years

The bottom line is that Harry Conover is a confidence artist who is

to defame numerous people in this NG.

And no one in this NG knew and invested in his device -
except, of course, JW, who has been extolling Meyer here
for years.

Whats wrong with a few dead end experiments to verify something ? His WFC is not mentioned in any technical detail
in any professional physics or electronics journals. It seems as if having anything remotely to do with a Meyer WFC
is a cardinal sin.

Considering that no efficiency figure has ever been published then the only way to get such a figure is to
replicate the experiment.

Actually he hasn't confirmed that Meyer was a fraud. He has clearly
stated on newsgroups that he did NOT replicate the water fuel cell as
per the patents. He chose a different electrode material and,
crucially, used a different circuit. It has proved nothing for or
against Meyer's device. It is a different device.

You'd still have to ask what the possible point would be.

Any reasonably intelligent electrochemist will recognize the three key
differences between the Meyer experiment and conventional electrolysis
are a gross impedance mismatch, use of wildly inappropriate waveforms,
and a failure to recognize hydrogen overvoltage of iron effects. All are
known and proven drastic efficiency limiters.

Further, any reasonably intelligent electrochemist will recognize that
accurate separation and measurement of dry STP hydrogen and accurate
measurement of true input energy (both electrical and thermal) are
enormously difficult tasks. Ones that, when done improperly, almost
invariably grossly overstate efficiency.

Thus, there are only two reasonably expected outcomes of the experiment:
abysmal efficiency or lab error.

Bear in mind that similar EIS and Qprox experiments are performed
millions of times daily with uniformly negative results.

In a sense yes. He had numerous cells.
Meyer never claimed he could run a "standard" car only on water at any given
time.
He was developing and improving the technology and it's efficiency toward that
end.
When he demonstrated the car run on the fuel cell from water he had an
"additional" electric generator with which he "primed" the cell that produced
the hydrogen and oxygen which ran the car. He never closed the loop or ran the
system from start up without priming it with the large onboard generator. His
efforts were to be able to eventually close the loop with his "Hydrogen
Fracturing Process" which released more power to run it from start up.

"Using tap water to fill the cell, the plates generated

further down in the text

"Apart from the copious hydrogen/oxygen gas evolution"

Meyer does not ONLY have patents on devices. He has PROCESS patents. Two in
particular, "Electrical Polarization" and "Hydrogen Fracturing." There is a big
difference in that no one cannot use his prior art to duplicate his protected
process. He has other DEVICE patents for the use of hydrogen as well as for the
cell circuitry itself. He had a number of cells that performed his PROCESSES.

Actually Meyer's patents do contain sufficient information to reveal
him to be a totally clueless crank, and his WFC to be a device that at
best can perform simple electrolysis with abyssmally poor efficiency.

The point of attempting to replicate the work of a demonstrated crank,
whose published work consists of little more than what one would
expect of a technological incompetent/ignorant person, still eludes
me.

The lunacy is that you can tell such bald faced lies with a straight face. You
don't know ANYTHING about his processes or how they were to be applied. The
water was to be COMPLETELY decomposed into it's constituent gases and
combustible ions before EVER being injected into the cylinders.

It's amazing that you can claim that THIS is what Meyer claimed when you never
met him, read ANY of his material, or saw his injectors.

The splitting of water into Hydrogen and oxygen can be either endothermic or
exothermic which makes it a interesting reaction. You can split it with
sound, heat, light, magnetism, atomic radiation, and electricity.

only two frequencies are relevant - DC and the frequency of the LC tuned circuit. Thats why I

It still takes energy of one sort or another to break the O-H bonds.

Measure the actual electrode CURRENT rather than voltage waveforms, and

Even if it did, what are you disputing?
Meyer was threatened at gunpoint by Schneider. That is historical fact.
Meyer found out a number of lies that Schneider told him and when confronted in
an airplane hanger he pulled a gun on Meyer.
There were a number of suits against Schneider by Meyer.

What is so dubious about it being EXTREMELY difficult to intergrate hydrogen

Electrically Induced Explosions in Water

Gary Johnson Kansas State University

ABSTRACT

A 2 mF capacitor was charged to voltages in the 1-10 kV range and
discharged into water column through a 38 mH inductor. At voltages up to
about 6 kV, the water acted as a relatively high resistance and the
circuit decayed as an overdamped RLC circuit. Resistance decreased with
time. When the resistance dropped below about 10 W, the water would
explode if the capacitor still had sufficient energy. The loudness was
distinctly greater than an equivalent amount of gunpowder.

During the explosion, resistance would drop still more, so the circuit

Why use steel as an electrode material ? Also a large AC current traverses the
water which is what electrolyses it.

Hydrogen overvoltage of iron is typically 1.2 volts or so, thus cutting
efficiency in half.

The cell nonlinearity inherently forms a low efficiency rectifier.
Portions of ac input waveforms are converted to dc current where they do
a normal dc electrolysis.
The remainder of the ac terms are wasted as heat.

All ac or pulses accomplish is REDUCING the efficiency.

Are you claiming a Faraday's Law violation?

Becaue it isn't "standard electroysis." This would be the reason Meyer called
his process "Electrical Polarization." Meyer used stainless in his cells.

No it complies with Faraday's law. I did say it is current that performs
the electrolysis.

Because of the extreme cell nonlinearity, if you carefully measure the
actual cell CURRENT you will find it is wildly different than the
applied VOLTAGE waveform.

Any ac components are rectified, frequency converted, and split into two
components: A DC term that does conventional electrolysis and all
remaining terms that are wasted as efficiency robbing heat.

Why don't you call up the patent office and ask them if having something
patented proves it works. Go ahead. What are you afraid of? The TRUTH?

After taking a quick look at Meyer's US Pat # 4,936,961, I didn't see a
single word talking about how efficient his system was ( I could have
missed it, if you find it, please point it out ). So Meyer wouldn't have
had his patent rejected on efficiency claim anyways.

The only tiny detail in the not even wrong "does not pass large current"
ludicrousity is explaining where the electrons came from needed to do
the dissociation. For dissociation, each hydrogen atom DEMANDS a new
electron from SOMEWHERE.

Um, where if not current?????

And, no, "nuclear" won't hack it, since nuclear means nucleous, and that
there is NOTHING in a hydrogen nucleous except ONE proton that stays
EXACTLY the same before and after dissociation.

>Even if it did, what are you disputing?

Nothing. It is *you* who are disputing statements regarding the Meyer
saga. Besides, if he had actually written such a letter to the court
alleging "illegal seizure by gunpoint", there would most definitely
would have been an investigation. There never was. If he had been
threatened at gunpoint, he certainly would have brought it up at his
trial. He never did.

>Meyer was threatened at gunpoint by Schneider. That is historical fact.

No. It is hysterical fantasy. And the tales get taller with each
passing year! The only historical fact surrounding Stanley Meyer is
that he scammed a bunch of gullible people out of about $1.5 million
and he was found guilty of fraud.

So now you're not simply regurgitating Meyer's "public notice to
inform"? You're making your own statement that somebody pulled a gun
on Meyer? Do you have proof of this "historical fact"? Or should we
just take your word for it?

Apparently Meyer's faith in his lawyer wasn't strong enough to avoid a
fraud conviction.

Apparently you have too little faith in physics. Some of us would
rather spend our time doing more productive things, than trying to
duplicate the non-workable device of a convicted fraud.

Besides, aren't you the one who claims to have already duplicated
Meyer's device? Didn't you take any measurements?

>than go by the work of a senile, clueless, technically

Wow. This is the first time anybody has described him like that.
(Like I say, the Meyer tales grow taller with each passing year.) Up
until now, JW has been claiming that the judge suffered from a
conflict of interest, supposedly being related to one of the
plaintiffs. Now he's incompetent. What's next? When the lights go
out he sheds his human skin and breathes dryer lint?

I don't. I have NEVER said it is overunity or anything like that.

It works. It manages to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Yes I did take measurements. Read my previous posts for more info. I can get a cast
iron value of efficiency once I get my hands on a gas calorimeter.

Most judges are technically illiterate. At least in the UK.

Meyer was NOT "CONVICTED" of fraud. His case was a civil action NOT CRIMINAL.
The standard for a "Civil Judgement" is "a proponerance of the evidence." This
is the standard under which O.J. lost the Civil Case for wrongful death of his
wife. The standard for Criminal actions is "beyond a reasonable doubt."
Meyer NEVER had any legal criminal action taken against him. If he was, they
would have issued a "Cease and Desist" order against him for his funding plan.
Meyer's attorney and the court system failed miserably in this action and
anyone who thinks different needs to ask themselves why he was only fined $1
for this "gross and egregeous fraud" by a judge who was related to the
Plaintiff who refused to recuse from the case.

Liar. Nothing has changed. Meyer's Public Notice was posted about 4 years ago.
But you can continue to lie, exagerate, and misquote for the rest of your life.

Another sensless gross exageration.

Judges are notoriously ignorant of anything besides the law. And a few don't
even use that knowledge when they have it. I have seen bald faced liars win
small claims actions against honest meticulous accountants because the judge
was not familiar with simple spread sheet software and accounting printouts
from such. Going to court in 90% of cases is not much more than a crap shoot
not unlike throwing your fate to the winds.

No it doesn't need a electron to break the bonds in the water. To be stable
it needs a electron, we intentionally need it to be UNSTABLE . It has been
shown that water can be split by increasing the internal oscillation to 4
times the original volume. You can do this with photons and NO electrons.
Using Gamma rays doesn't use electrons either.

Within a very short amount of time the economic reality of splitting water
to store energy will hit home as supplies of some energy supplies become
low.

Why do "we intentionally need it to be UNSTABLE"?? So that it can recombine
and become water before the precious hydrogen bubbles away? Are you saying
the WFC works because of Gamma rays?

This is utter nonsense.

Can you post even one literature citation reflecting such a claim
being made by any technically competent person? Of course you can't,
because such a claim flies in the face man's total accumulation of
knowledge. Were the claim to make any sense at all, which it doesn't,
the universe itself would be in chaos!

The frequency of any electromagnetic radiation must be at least as large as
the frequency of vibration of the hydrogen to oxygen bond. This is not a
pushed swing. The only energy that bond can absorb is some integral multiple
of the bond's natural frequency. That natural frequency is in the infrared.
Those piddling frequencies employed by Meyer will never do it, small
