The water fuel cell is a non-functional design for a "perpetual motion machine" created by Stanley Allen Meyer (August 24, 1940 – March 20, 1998). Meyer claimed that a car retrofitted with the device could use water as fuel instead of gasoline. Meyer's claims about his "Water Fuel Cell" and the car that it powered were found to be fraudulent ...
Stanley Meyer, who claimed to run a car on water in 1984. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Charles Frazer, an inventor from Ohio who, in 1918 patented a hydrogen booster which claimed to use electrolysis to increase vehicle power and fuel efficiency while greatly reducing exhaust emissions.
To fuel a hydrogen car from water, electricity is used to generate hydrogen by electrolysis. The resulting hydrogen is an energy carrier that can power a car by reacting with oxygen from the air to create water, either through burning in a combustion engine or catalyzed to produce electricity in a fuel cell.
The idea of a water powered car has been around since Stanley Meyer's "water fuel cell" made it popular in the late 20th century. However, he was met with pushback from an Ohio court claiming that such an automobile could not possibly work. Meyer abruptly died in 1998 while eating at a restaurant.
And, of course, in free energy circles it's not known as just as any random "water fuel cell", it is always known as Meyer's water fuel cell (or Stan Meyer's or Stanley Meyer's), so that would be its common name. --Enric Naval 23:49, 25 May 2010 (UTC) If the common name uses capitals as a proper noun then great, let's move it there.
