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 ...
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.

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 .
Hydrogen fuel cell cars like the Toyota Mirai contain Kevlar-armored tanks that store hydrogen at 700 times the pressure of the Earth’s atmosphere. But this is hard to do on a large scale for ...
