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.
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 term "fuel cell" has been around since it was invented in 1840 or so (see Fuel Cell) - it was a "fuel cell" that exploded on Apollo 13 in April 1970 - so for sure the term (and the object that the term referred to) was in common usage WAY before Meyers got into his hair-brained schemes for water-powered cars by the late 1970's.
The Water fuel cell appears mainly to be described as a power plant for cars - whilst if it ever came to fruition, it would undoubtedly be used for other things, it is also true to say that if any of the water-fuelled cars ever came to fruition then they too would be used to power other things.
Dingle claimed that his invention splits hydrogen from water in an onboard water tank, [2] and does not produce any carbon emissions. However, he never revealed the secret to his invention. [ 3 ] In an interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer , Dingel said that he would be willing to reveal the secret of his invention if the buyer would ...

Water on the other hand consists of hydrogen and oxygen (H 2 O). It would be necessary to introduce 8 parts carbon for every 9 parts of water to make any conversion of the form 18 H 2 O + X → 2 C 8 H 18 + 9 O 2. work, where X is the gasoline pill. A mole of water has a mass of 18.0146 grams, while a mole of carbon has a mass of 12.01 grams ...
