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 ...
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 .
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.

Donald Trump has pledged to get rid of hydrogen-powered cars because they “blow up”. The former US president made the claim during a rally in Michigan on Saturday (26 October). Addressing the ...
The owners rarely complain about their cars. It's the hydrogen refueling system that gives them grief. As early as 2006, 20 hydrogen stations had been installed in California. Today, more than ...
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.
The games still deployed 500 Toyota Mirai cars and 100 hydrogen buses, but the latter’s use was particularly controversial, with the fuel costing 2.6 times as much as diesel.
