English 1301 Fall 2016: Stanley Meyer and the Water-Powered Car by Jonathan Coronado

Imagine a car that could run on water 3.15 times more efficiently than the standard fossil fuel cars that we have today(Stanley Meyer: A short Biography). This is exactly what Stanley Meyer, an American scientist was able to create after 30 years(1). Stanley Meyers work drew worldwide recognition(1): Many countries across the world were interested in his work along with claims of an Arab offering Stanley Meyer a billion dollars to suppress the invention of the water powered car(1). Stanley Meyers was in a great position to sell his invention. However, on March 20, 1998, Stanley Meyer, his brother, and two Belgian investors raised glasses and drank, which resulted in Stanley running out of the Cracker barrel, vomiting uncontrollably, and dying with his last words being “They poisoned me”(1). However after a 3 month investigation, the cause of death was a brain aneurysm(1). Let’s explore the possibilities of which conspiracy theory solves the case. Was it murder or was it truly a brain aneurysm?

Stanley Meyer is an extraordinary inventor. He solved the answer to the century old question of how to fix the reliance on fossil fuels. This question has been researched unsuccessfully by many of the best physicists and chemists of the 20th century. More extraordinary than this is the fact that Stanley Meyer created this invention that has no prior knowledge or successful attempts without any sort of degree(Stanley Meyer (1940–1998) A Short Biography). Stanley Meyer did not finish High School because he chose to start college courses at the Ohio State University early(1). Stanley Meyer attended this University briefly and then left school to join the military(1). So the question is how does a man that does not even have a degree develop such a significant invention?

The answer to this is based on the way Stanley Meyer thinks. Stanley Meyers was an inventor by nature. Stephen Meyer, Stanley Meyer’s brother and co-inventor, recalls Stanley and his childhood by stating "We were always building something,""We went out and created our toys” ("Stanley Meyer (1940–1998) A Short Biography."). Stanley was also a former Nasa employee who worked on the Gemini Project(1).With this experience it is clear that Stanley had a good understanding and basis of engineering which is definitely applicable in the creation of the water-powered car.

Along with this Stanley Meyer had personal motivation for the completion of this project. Stanley Meyer was always driven by religion and patriotism(Stanley Meyer 1992 Global Sciences Congress). His favorite quote, which describes both his drive for religion and patriotism was, “Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition”(Stanley Meyer, Stanley Meyer: A Short Biography).Stanley Meyer believed that it was his duty to help the country in any way he could. During the time that he decided to start creating the water-powered car, there was an oil embargo going on(Stanley Meyer: a short biography. Due to this prices of oil were skyrocketing and therefore transportation prices were also skyrocketing.Stanley Meyer saw this immense issue that our country and oil can be so strongly affected by one source of power(1). He took this opportunity being the patriot that he is to help his country in a sizeable way if it turned out to function properly. Also, Stanley Meyer believed that God came to him in a vision(Stanley Meyer 1992 Global Sciences Congress). When looking at Stanley Meyers 1992 global science congress presentation, Stanley frequently mentions the intervention of God in making him create this invention. He believes that the knowledge that he has was gifted to him from God for this specific purpose(1). With all this motivation to create a water powered car, Stanley went to work in developing his water powered car with his brother.

Stanley Meyers way of creating this invention is also very unique. Stanley Meyer worked with his brother for twenty years on a project that multiple groups of people have tried to derive before and failed(Stanley Meyer (1940–1998) A Short Biography). Stanley Meyer self funded all of his equipment and tools to build the car(1). He did not have a controlled environment or lab to test, build, and operate his car but instead worked in his garage with his brother(1). Stanley also not having any sort of degree was very unmethodical in his documentation of the car(1). He documented his notes in a way that him and his brother understood but it lacked the scientific principles that scientist use to document their work which makes it much harder to interpret and understand his projects(1). This reason along with the fact that much of Stanley's work was incomplete has made it so that no one up to date has been able to replicate his results(1). After Stanley’s death, most of his work was lost and unable to be interpreted(1). His brother who helped create this car with him knows many of the missing parts in reproducing Stanley’s research but refuses to start working on the car.

Out of the tragedy of Stanley’s death two conspiracy theories arose: did he truly die of Brain aneurysm or was he murdered to suppress his technology?

First, we analyze the possibility of Stanley Meyers being poisoned by the Belgian Investors. This scenario, due to the implications of his research, seems to be the easiest scenario to believe. Stanley Meyer and his brother were raising glasses with two Belgian investors. Right after Stanley took a drink out of his glass he stood up then ran outside and started vomiting uncontrollably. When first looking at this scenario, the scenario seems as if this could involve foul play. The main two reasons conspirators believe this scenario is because of the immediate death after taking in the drink, and the belief that the oil industry could have suppressed this technology.

Prior to the research of this topic, a survey was conducted asking 20 people if they believed, based on the basic information of the topic, that Stanley Meyers was murdered or did he die of a brain aneurysm. The survey shows that 19 out of 20 people believed that Stanley Meyer was murdered. This shows that the logical belief is that Stanley was murdered because of the circumstances that surround his death.

The logical solution to believe is that he was murdered. However, there are many flaws in this argument. First, if he were poisoned he would not have an immediate death as he did. When researching some of the deadliest poisons, such as cyanide and arsenic, on earth the majority of them will kill a human within a few minutes but not instantaneously (Top 10 Most Deadly Poisons Known to Mankind | Alternative). For example Cyanide will kill the victim within 1 to 15 minutes(1.) Unless a previously undiscovered poison was used, it would not be wise to believe that he was poisoned (1). Along with the poisoning, the other reason why he could have been murdered is because he had such a valuable invention that people would go to enormous lengths to suppress this technology.

Stanley Meyer was deceiving the public. His invention was nowhere near ready to be applied in the private sectors (Stanley Meyer | Pictures | Video Clips | Stan Meyer Water Buggy). His invention was supposedly able to run a dune buggy on water, however there is no verification of this (1). He claimed to be able to separate the hydrogen and Oxygen elements inside his water-fuel cell. However, two of his investors grew impatient and sued Stanley for this (1). The court after viewing the demonstration that Stanley showed came to a decision that his invention was not revolutionary, merely a copy of simple electrolysis which many others before him have achieved (1). Electrolysis had been around for many years. However, it does not produce enough energy to run a car (Stanley Meyer's Bad Science). Stanley Meyer had to pay $25,000.00 back to his inventors for having “gross and egregious fraud” (Stanley Meyer | Pictures | Video Clips | Stan Meyer Water Buggy). Because of these facts, it is possible that Stanley Meyers did not develop a revolutionary water-fuel cell only a successful water powered dune buggy.

The second conspiracy theory that Stanley Meyer died of brain aneurysm seems more likely now. The symptoms described by the Franklin County, Ohio, police department of his death more closely resembled the symptoms of an aneurysm. (Search Results for Stanley Meyer in the United States) The timing for his death, however, was impeccable, but he truly did die of an aneurysm. The timing of his death persuades many to believe that he was poisoned; however, it is likely that he was not poisoned but merely died at a coincidental time.

On March 20, 1998, Stanley Meyer, the famous inventor of the water-powered fuel cell and water powered dune buggy was thought to have been murdered. Out of this situation, two conspiracy theories were developed:

Stanley Meyers was murdered to suppress his water fuel cell technology
Stanley Meyers coincidentally died of a brain aneurysm

Although there is substantial evidence that Stanley did in fact die from a brain aneurysm, many will continue to question the mysterious death of the creator of the water-powered fuel cell.
