The inventor of the water-powered vehicle passes away while yelling, "They poisoned me."
379The Strange Death of Stanley Meyer and His Water-Powered Vehicle
Meyer's invention would lead to a revolution in the automotive sector. It was powered by an electric water fuel cell, which employed a method simpler than electrolysis to split any kind of water, even salt water, into its constituent elements of hydrogen and oxygen.
Despite doubts about the legality of a car that runs on water, Meyer was able to patent his invention under Section 101 of the Subject Matter Eligibility Index by proving to a patent review board that his invention worked consistently.
After 20 years of research and effort, Meyer claimed that his water-powered engine could convert tap water into enough hydrogen fuel to drive his car across the country. His remarkable invention opened the door to the idea of non-polluting autos that might one day be refuelled by a garden hose.
At a Cracker Barrel restaurant on March 21, 1998, Meyer, his brother, and two potential Belgian investors were eating lunch. Meyer choked on his cranberry juice and jumped to his feet to leave the room as the other four raised their glasses in a toast to their commitment to making the world a better place. Stephen, his brother, rushed after him and found him on his knees, vomiting.
