Ep 101 - Can Cars Run On Water - The Stanley Meyer Story

Welcome to this episode of Event Horizon. Today, we unravel the fascinating and controversial story of Stanley Meyer's water-powered car—a revolutionary invention he claimed could run on nothing but water. Born on August 24, 1940, Stanley Allen Meyer, alongside his twin brother Stephen, designed a device called the "water fuel cell." This so-called perpetual motion machine was said to replace gasoline with water, leading to incredible claims of a dune buggy journey from Los Angeles to New York on just 22 gallons of water.

Meyer asserted that the U.S. government and military offered him millions to acquire his patent—offers he refused as he sought to commercialize his invention. However, in 1996, before production could begin, Meyer faced a shareholder lawsuit, and an Ohio court declared his claims fraudulent.

Yet, the drama didn’t end there. On March 21, 1998, while meeting potential investors at a local restaurant, Meyer drank a sip of cranberry juice and suddenly fled the table, clutching his throat. His chilling final words? “They poisoned me.” Was Stanley Meyer silenced for his groundbreaking technology, or was this a tragic coincidence? And do governments really have the power to seize revolutionary patents from private inventors? These burning questions and more await in this episode.

We choose to go to the moon and diss decay and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, Because that challenge is one that we're willing to accept. One we are unwilling to postpone and one we intend to win, and the others do.

This is Event Horizon and I am your host, Mark Anthony Peterson. This is the podcast where we take a walk into the paranormal with a splash of conspiracy. This is the podcast that would be born if David Ike and the X Files had a baby. Guys, Welcome to episode one oh one. In this episode, I'm going to ask the question, can our cars run on water? And if the answer is yes, is our government holding back

that secret? Yeah? We're still in the conspiracy phase of this podcast, and this is one conspiracy that's going to make your head spin. But before we jump into the episode, you know what I have to do, I gotta give you the disclaimer. I am not a religious expert. Been thrown out of more churches that I've been welcomed into.

I am not a physicist, theoretical or otherwise. But I did stay at a holiday in express and I think that gives me the right to do some research, apply first principles, and bring what I've learned back here to you. Isn't that fair? Cool? Cool? Now? What am I talking about? Can cars run on water? If you're my age, you remember the weekly Reader that they would pass out in elementary school, exciting you on all sorts of topics, from

acid rain to a dune buggy that ran on water. Yes, again, if you're my age, you remember that, and remember how excited everyone was for this invention. Because we were in the middle of a gas shortage. President Carter was in the White House. Gas lines were around the block, like the lines to get in to see Star Wars, and people could not believe that gasoline was being rationed out.

Felt like we were in a third world country. Many of you are too young to remember that time, but it was real and everybody under the sun was looking for a way to remove to eliminate our dependence on Middle Eastern oil, and Stanley Myers was one of those guys. Stanley Allen Myers was born on August twenty fourth, nineteen forty and he was one of a set of two.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 4

He had a brother twin brother, Steven Meyer. He was born and lived in Columbus on the East Side before moving to Grand View Heights, where he finished high school. He briefly attended the Ohio State University and then joined the military. He was the author of various patents. The guy was an eclectic genius. He had patents in oceanography, cardiac monitoring, banking systems, and he also had patents in Canada forty two at all. So this guy wasn't just a kook.

Speaker 2

He was.

Speaker 4

Rick from Rick and Morty. He built stuff in his garage and got it patented in nineteen eighty nine. Meyer received a preferential treatment at the patent office, and some of his patents were accepted as late as nineteen ninety three. Now, for those of you who fouled for patents and I have, and I have gotten a few of them approved back in my corporate days. His preferential treatment also included an agreement for the patent to be issued dependent upon the

successful demonstration of the technology. Meyer had that kind of relationship with the patent office. Meyer worked for Bechtel Foundation in Ohio and he also worked on the development of the Gemini project. Vanasa also worked on the feeding system for energy on concept EBED for the Star Wars project. I'm laying all that out because I want you to understand that this guy, if anyone could come up with an engine that would run on water, it would be

this guy. So with his brother, Stephen Meyer, who was a former engineer electrical engineer in the Air Force, they assembled an operation there was worth several million dollars in the field of transport and spare parts. So not only do they have the expertise, they have built a business where they could fund some of their R and D. Because everybody getting that this guy is not your fly

by night type of a guy. As the background, has built a business has worked for various types of organizations, including NASA and so along with his brother, they created a design for a perpetual motion machine called the water fuel cell. He claimed that a car with this device could use water H two instead of gasoline. The water fuel cell supposedly split water into hydrogen and oxygen H two. Oh, it split those apart. The hydrogen was then burned to

generate electricity, which we formed the water model cules. Myers claimed the process required less energy than conventional science predicted. He mentioned Brown's gas, a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen which could be burned to generate energy. If true, well, you guys listening, If true, this would violate the laws

of thermodynamics, making it a perpetual motion machine. Now, for those of you who are well versed in science, when you heard the term fuel cell, you said, wait a minute, that can't be right, and that name that Myers gave it is a little misleading. A fuel cell produces electricity from chemical reactions, while Myer's device consumed electricity. His patent described a water fuel cell assembly that produced fuel gas.

After he and his brother completed the technology, newspaper report showed Myers in a doom buggy where he claimed to power it with the water fuel cell. And I'm going to pose some pictures on the speaker platform so you could see what this doom buggy looks like. He said it only needed twenty two gallons of water to travel from Los Angeles to New York. He replaced the spark plugs with injectors that introduced a hydrogen oxygen mix into the end engine. The water was subjected to an electrical

resonance that disassociated it into its basic atomic makeup. The water fuel cell would split the water into hydrogen and oxygen gas, which would then be combusted back into water vapor in a conventional internal combustion engine to produce net energy. And that's what I read in the Weekly Reader in the first grade. And I was so excited because I was that nerd that had read all the science books at my school in the first grade, trying to come up with my own fuel to solve the gas crisis.

And guys, I had come up with some crazy stuff. I convinced my great grandmother, who had a moonshine steel, to teach me how to make it. And I wanted to purify enough to turn that into a potential fuel source. I even brought in a mini steel to my science project. I also thought that I could use bread mole to produce fuel. So basically, with the bread mold, I wanted to transform the manganese into a mineral composite, which would

be ideal for supercapacitors or lithnium batteries. And then finally, I was reading about circular sewage in Muskegon, Michigan, where it was cleaning the water but also produce using a sludge that could be helpful in producing methane. I even used that as a debate topic when I got into high school as a way to not only generate fuel, but to solve problems dealing with American agriculture at the time.

So this was exciting to me ten times more exciting than it was to some of the other kids because I was focused on trying to find a solution to the fuel problem. Even tested a few of these fuels in trying to make my own rocket and damaged my hearing for two to three months when the rocket blew up right there in front of me. I tried to with the bread mold, build an electro magnet device to in the process and ended up knocking out the electricity

on the block. So, like Meyer, I was focused on this stuff and I was iced for what he was doing. I wanted to learn more, and so did a lot of other people. Mayer claims that the government offered him billions to turn that patent over, that the military also approached him, and he became paranoid. He was unwilling to let anyone get near the doom Buggy. And then came

the court cases. Before Meyer could do anything with the patent or the doom Buggy, he was sued by investors who had put money in to help put this into production. Meyer claimed that it was the government's tactic. They pushed the trial in order to bury the patent because he was not allowed to show the doom Buggy as evidence

in his trial, or so he claimed. Others claimed that Meyers refused to allow independent scientists to review the Doom Buggy and offer their testimony, which he claimed would not be fair to him. He wanted to just demonstrate it for the jewelry. And I could understand that argument, because in any case you watched, experts with equal qualifications can come to opposite conclusions, and that's what Meyer was afraid of.

But he lost that case. He lost that case and was forced to pay back those investors, leaving him with one option to finance it himself, or so he thought, until what he believed to be investors, either foreign or from one of the big defense contractors, who believed, or so they said, in his technology and wanted to finance it.

They invited Stanley and his brother Stephen to dinner to discuss what the next steps were, and on March twenty first, nineteen ninety eight, at that dinner, Meyer died shortly after drinking cranberry juice he got at the restaurant. His last words were, they poisoned me. He sipped it, got up and ran out of the restaurant. He knew immediately after he sipped the cranberry juice that it had poison it, and he ran. His brother went out ran out after him,

and his last words, they poisoned me. Detectives were assigned to the case. A detective, Steve Robinette, was assigned and investigated, but said he found no evidence of poisoning. The corner attributed Meyers death to a brain aneurysm, and that's where it gets really weird. We've all watched the shows, The Double O seven, all of the Tom Cruise, this movie where these types of deaths can be induced by offering

foreign agents, introducing foreign agents into someone's body. The KGB are known for bringing radioactive items, putting it in coffee or tea, and poisoning their targets, and Myers claimed to be poisoned, but the investigation says no poison was found. Brain aneurysm has the cause. Stephen Stanley's twin brother, claimed that one week after Stanley's death, unidentified people stole the Doom Buggy stole it from Stanley's garage along with all

of his all of his papers. Now does this sound familiar? And that would happened to Tesla At his death? Some unidentified men show up box up all of his papers, which they had no right to, and then they suddenly show up at the FBI under the rights of President Trump's uncle. I'm not joking you guys, go look it up. I've talked about it in previous episode, even interviewed an author who wrote about it and claimed that some of

what Tesla was working on was a time machine. Ye had a guy, There's so many rabbit holes around these kinds of things, right, And we all know that back to the future, the Biff character was modeled after Donald Trump. So if any of that is kind of foreshattering, snippets of truth were in a world for a world of hurt. But that's what Steven Meyer claimed. These unindentified people show up, steal the doom buggy, pack up his stuff, and no

one knows what happens to it. And I know you guys are thinking, this sounds like a lot of cloak and dagger mark And why would the government do that? Why wouldn't they want to have an unlimited source of fuel and eliminate our dependence on foreign all And if you have to ask me that, then I think you need to go back and take an economics class. An invention like that would completely destroy the economy because everything

up till today is based on oil. You eliminate that, you're going to wreck the economies of all the major powers. And so a device like that would be considered a threat to national security, an absolute threat to national security, and the government, dating all the way back to the thirties nineteen thirties past legislation that if there are inventions like that they have the right to confiscate them and to hide them from the public. I know you're saying,

wait a minute, what Yeah. As of twenty seventeen, according to statistics reported by the US Patent and Trade Office published by the Federation of American Scientists, there were five thousand, seven hundred and eighty four patents that you can't see. They are the government's cachet of cash, of inventions that are under secret orders. We don't know what they are. We don't know what they are, we don't know what

they cover. Their secret patents that recently made public included things like laser tracking systems, warhead production methods, anti radar jamming apparatus, those types of things that were confiscated and kept secret. As I mentioned, invention secrecy in the US dates back to the nineteen thirties, but it really took off in the nineteen forties with the development of nuclear weapons, so you wanted to shroud all of that and all the technology in secrecy. It became official policy in nineteen

fifty two with the Invention Secrecy Act. You guys can go look it up for yourself, because I did. I didn't know it existed. This allows the government to keep patents deemed detrimental to national security on lockdown. Under the Act, the Commissioner could take patents public or private public or private for me, developed by private citizens, developed by Core for anybody that they deem a threat to national security, and have it reviewed by the government defense agencies and

a request could be made to keep it secret. Patents covered by secret orders may be restricted from export, made available only to defense agencies, or even classified. So for those of you who don't know, now you do know, you come up with a world changing idea and try to patent it, the government can deem it critical or a threat to national security and turn it over to the military. So for some of you who are out there protesting against Microsoft, against Google for turning over their

technology to the government, they don't have a choice. The Secrecy Act, the Invention Secrecy Act, gives the government the right to confiscate it if you don't turn it over, And so the corporations are making the right fiduciary decision by offering it up and getting remuneration at least for the technology, because if you hold out, they can just take it. If you don't think the threat though, when some of you can still be sitting there going okay,

if they could take his patent, why kill him? Why kill him? Well, Meyer was a maverick. He was determined to get this technology into the public. He had already done a number of press briefings on the technology and talked about the potential to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. He probably thought he was a loose cannon, a loose

cannon that would wreck the Rockefeller fortune. And I don't have to go back and look at the number of people across the Rockefeller legacy who've accidentally died as that empire was being built. Let me give you an example, just to bring it home. Some of you may remember from a couple of years ago Boeing was going through Boeing is a one hundred and twenty one billion dollar corporation, that's their market cap. They were being investigated for safety concerns.

Many of you may remember planes, Spirit Airline others that had problems with Boeing aircraft with the doors for lying off or panels flying off during flights. John Barnett, a former Boeing employee, was one of the first to raise concerns about the production standards that Boeing had when making those planes. Barnett had worked for Boeing for more than thirty years before retiring in twenty seventeen. From twenty and ten, he had been employed as a quality manager in the

North Charleston plant. That plant builds the seven eighty seven Dreamliner, the plane that was at the center of this investigation. Barnett in twenty nineteen told BBC that under pressure, workers were deliberately fitting substandard parts on the aircraft on the production line. He also had uncovered serious problems with the oxygen systems, which would mean one in every four breathing

masks would not work in an emergency. You know those masks that pop down to they say put yours on first before you put the mask on for your kid or your grandmother. That one in four of those twenty five percent of the mask on a Dreamliner would not work. Barnett became a whistleblower and he turned in evidence of these problems to the government and had given a deposition

about the evidence that he had turned over. So a couple of days after he turns over the evidence, on March ninth, twenty twenty four, Barnett allegedly committed suicide, or at least that was what it was ruled by the Charleston County Corner the police that they found his locked vehicle a bright orange Dodge Ram pickup truck. Bright orange. Wow, I love Dodge. I have a Dodge. Mine is white and black, but I've never seen an orange one. Yess,

you can't miss that truck. So they found him in the bright orange Dodge Ram pickup truck with the key fob in his pocket conveniently, and it appeared, at least based on the Corners report, that he shot himself. Now just remember now, days earlier, he had driven from his own in Louisiana so that he could give a deposition in the whistleblower case against Boeing. If he was going to commit suicide, why wouldn't he do it before he

gives the deposition? You guys, hear what I'm saying. Why would he wait till after he's turned over the evidence and is preparing for the trial. Why would he commit suicide at that point? Okay, all right, So that's John Barnett. Two months after his death, another whistleblower, Joshua Dean, who was also a quality auditor at Boeing, He died at the age of forty five after being diagnosed with MRSA

resistant bacterial infection. It's a type of staff infection that is resistant to many of the antibiotics used to treat ordinary staff infections. Now, Dean was a health nut, according to his aunt, and had been in perfect health before he was to provide testimony. He had provided some evidence of the claiming that the Spirit leadership had ignored manufacturing

defects on this seven thirty seven Max. So Dean, this healthy guy, forty five years old, who works out, who was in perfect health, gets this form of antibiotic resistant staff infection that spreads like wildfire and kills him in two weeks. Now, let me tell you about this MRSA staff infection. They're usually associated with invasive procedures or devices. Invasive procedures fancy word for surgery, or some sort of intervenious tubing or artificial joints. That's how most people get it.

He had none of those things. There are other ways that people have talked about how you get this sort of an infection. You got to have an open wound, and then with that you got to have skin, the skin contact with the compromised skin, cut, scrape, or rash. You can get it from contaminated items or surfaces, or lack of cleanliness, So you can imagine a horder or a hoarder's home could be a possible place where you'd

get something like that. None of these fit Dean unless someone intentionally introduced it to him, or so it seems.

He died two weeks after it was discovered that he had the infection, and as I mentioned, he had given deposition against Spirit Airline in the shareholder lawsuit and filed a complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration alleging serious and gross misconduct by senior quality management for the seven point thirty seven production line at Spirit one hundred and twenty one billion dollar corporation, along with the airlines that buy

those products. That's a lot of money to hold up or to lose if testimony from Dean or Barnett ever made it to trial. Unfortunately for these corporations they didn't because one auditor decided to kill himself and the other got an infection that you rarely see anyone get unless they've had a surgery, an artificial joint, or they find themselves with an open wound making skin the skin contact

with someone who has that infection. Now do you think Meyers could have been poisoned for coming up with technology that would have wiped out the oil industry, that would have destroyed the Rockefeller fortune. Guys, presidents have been killed for less. I tried looking up Stephen Meyer, his twin brother, to see if I could talk to him more about

this case. By all accounts, I think he passed away a couple of years ago, but he still has living relatives, and I am doing my best to see if I can open up a dialogue because this case fascinates me.

I'd love to know if they have any evidence of what Stanley built that we don't already have in the record, because there's so many of these types of stories that you hear about with life changing technology that would eliminate cancer, that would eliminate the need for oil, where people end up dead and the world continues to tick along the way it does with everyone beholding to a global master.

So I want to continue to track this down. I have found out that the doom Buggy was found and it may be in the ownership of the whole Book family based in Canada. So this is not the end of this, at least from my perspective. I hope to do a follow up and give you more details because to me, this feels just like every other thing we've talked about in this conspiracy segment, like whether or not we went to the moon and the number of dead bodies that lie along that path covering up what the

true answer is. So we'll keep digging. All right, guys, I'm about a minute two minutes over where I want it to be for this episode. I appreciate you listening. If you like what you hear, as they say, smash that subscribe button. Leave a review on the Apple podcast. That helps us tremendously, because I know my priest doesn't listen to the Apple Podcast, so I can get around him that way. Listen to us on Speaker because we get paid a little bit more than if you listen

to it on Apple. That helps us keep doing more of these episodes. And if you feel so inclined, become a loyal listener. You've got details in the show notes, and you know one good way to help and to give a present to whoever you want to support, buy my new book Career Coaching X's and O's where I give you all of the tips that I've learned over my thirty plus years as a senior manager in corporate America as well as an entrepreneur with successful exits. You

get all that wisdom in that book. And if you aren't looking to climb the executive ladder, maybe someone in your life is and you can share that book with them. And there are other ways to donate that are in the show notes as well. We're going to be beefing up our website so to give you more ways to interact with us directly in the next month or so. So I'm very happy about that, getting more time to dedicate to the podcast, and we love what you guys

do in terms of communicating with us. And if you want to reach out to is contact information will be in the show notes. And if you know any more about this particular case, please pass it along and help make a young voice tream come true because I got a lot of spankings for the types of things that I did trying to create my own fuel source. So I'd like to see this one through to the end. Okay, guys, you hear the music, you hear the beat. It's about time for me to wrap this up. I love you guys.

You know what I'm getting ready to say. Peace.
