Reprinted in part from an article in "ELECTRONICS WORLD + WIRELESS

WORLD" January 1991:

Eye-witness accounts suggest that US inventor Stanley Meyer has

developed an electric cell which will split ordinary tap water into

hydrogen and oxygen with far less energy than that required by a

normal electrolytic cell.

In a demonstration made before 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. Meyer's cell, developed at the

inventor's home in Grove City, Ohio, produced far more

hydrogen/oxygen mixture than could have been expected by simple

electrolysis.

Where normal water electrolysis requires the passage of current

measured in amps, Meyer's cell achieves the same effect in

milliamps. Furthermore ordinary tap water requires the addition of

an electrolyte such as sulphuric acid to aid current conduction;

Meyer's cell functions at greatest efficiency with pure water.

According to the witnesses, the most startling aspect of the Meyer

cell was that it remained cold, even after hours of gas production.

Meyer's experiments, which he seems to be able to perform to order,

have earned him a series of US patents granted under Section 101.

The granting of a patent under this section is dependent on a

successful demonstration of the invention to a Patent Review Board.

Meyer's cell seems to have many of the attributes of an electrolytic

cell except that it functions at high voltage, low current rather

than the other way around. Construction is unremarkable. The

electrodes - referred to as "excitors" by Meyer- are made from

parallel plates of stainless steel formed in either flat or

concentric topography. Gas production seems to vary as the inverse

of the distance between them; the patents suggest a spacing of 1.5mm

produces satisfactory results.

The real differences occur in the power supply to the cell. Meyer

uses an external inductance which appears to resonate with the

capacitance of the cell - pure water apparently possesses a

dielectric constant of about 5 - to produce a parallel resonant

circuit. This is excited by a high power pulse generator which,

together with the cell capacitance and a rectifier diode, forms a

charge pump circuit. High frequency pulses build a rising staircase

Page 2

DC potential across the electrodes of the cell until a point is

reached where the water breaks down and a momentary high current

flows. A current measuring circuit in the supply detects this

breakdown and removes the pulse drive for a few cycles allowing the

water to "recover '.

Research chemist Keith Hindley offers this description of a Meyer

cell demonstration: "After a day of presentations, the Griffin

committee witnessed a number of important demonstration of the WFC

(water fuel cell as named by the inventor).

A witness team of independent UK scientifc observers testified that

US inventor, Stanley Meyer, successfully decomposed ordinary tap

water into constituent elements through a combination of high,

pulsed voltage using an average current measured only in miliamps.

Reported gas evolution was enough to sustain a hydrogen / oxygen

flame which instantly melted steel.

In contrast with normal high current electrolysis, the witnesses

report the lack of any heating within the cell. Meyer declines to

release details which would allow scientists to duplicate and

evaluate his "waterfuel cell". However, he has supplied enough

detail to the US Patents Office to persuade them that he can

substantiate his 'power-from-water' claims.

One demonstration cell was fitted with two parallel plate

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

gas at very low current levels- no greater than a tenth of an amp on

the ammeter, and claimed to be milliamps by Meyer - and this gas

production increased steadily as the plates were moved closer

together and decreased as they were separated. The DC voltage

appeared to be pulsed at tens of thousands of volts.

A second cell carried nine stainless steel double tube cell units

and generated much more gas. A sequence of photographs was taken

showing gas production at milliamp levels. When the voltage was

turned up to its peak value, the gas then poured off at a very

impressive level.

"We did notice that the water at the top of the cell slowly became

discolored with a pale cream and dark brown precipitate, almost

certainly the effects of the chlorine in the heavily chlorinated tap

water on the stainless steel tubes used as "excitors".

He was demonstrating hydrogen gas production at milliamp and

kilovolt levels.

"The most remarkable observation is that the WFC and all its metal

pipework remained quite cold to the touch, even after more than

twenty minutes of operation. The splitting mechanism clearly evolves

little heat in sharp contrast to electrolysis where the electrolyte

warms up quickly."

"The results appear to suggest efficient and controllable gas

production that responds rapidly to demand and yet is safe in

operation. We clearly saw how increasing and decreasing the voltage

is used to control gas production. We saw how gas generation ceased

and then began again instantly as the voltage driving circuit was

switched off and then on again."

"After hours of discussion between ourselves, we concluded that

Steve Meyer did appear to have discovered an entirely new method for

splitting water which showed few of the characteristics of classical

electrolysis. Confirmation that his devices actually do work come

from his collection of granted US patents on various parts of the

WFC system. Since they were granted under Section 101 by the US

Patent Office, the hardware involved in the patents has been

examined experimentally by US Patent Office experts and their

seconded experts and all the claims have been established."

"The basic WFC was subjected to three years of testing. This raises

the granted patents to the level of independent, critical,

scientific and engineering confirmation that the devices actually

perform as claimed."

The practical demonstration of the Meyer cell appears substantially

more convincing than the para-scientific jargon which has been used

to explain it. The inventor himself talks about a distortion and

polarization of the water molecule resulting in the H:OH bonding

tearing itself apart under the electrostatic potential gradient, of

a resonance within the molecule which amplifies the effect.

Apart from the copious hydrogen/oxygen gas evolution and the minimal

temperature rise within the cell, witnesses also report that water

within the cell disappears rapidly, presumably into its component

parts and as an aerosol from the myriad of tiny bubbles breaking the

surface of the cell.

Meyer claims to have run a converted VW on hydrogen/oxygen mixture

for the last four years using a chain of six cylindrical cells. He

also claims that photon stimulation of the reactor space by optical

fibre piped laser light increases gas production.

The inventor is a protegee' of the Advanced Energy Institute.
