       Reprinted in part from an article in "ELECTRONICS WORLD + WIRELESS

       WORLD" January 1991:

       Eye-witness accounts suggest that US inventor Stanley Meyer has

       developed an electric cell which will split ordinary tap water into

       hydrogen and oxygen  with far less energy than that  required  by  a

       normal electrolytic cell.

       In a demonstration made before Professor Michael Laughton, Dean of

       Engineering at Queen  Mary  College,  London,  Admiral  Sir  Anthony

       Griffin, a former controller of  the  British  Navy,  and  Dr  Keith

       Hindley, a UK  research  chemist.  Meyer's  cell, developed  at  the

       inventor's home in    Grove    City,   Ohio,   produced   far   more

       hydrogen/oxygen mixture than could  have  been  expected  by  simple

       electrolysis.

       Where normal water electrolysis requires the passage of current

       measured in amps,   Meyer's  cell  achieves  the  same   effect   in

       milliamps.  Furthermore ordinary  tap water requires the addition of

       an electrolyte such as sulphuric  acid  to  aid  current conduction;

       Meyer's cell functions at greatest efficiency with pure water.

       According to the witnesses, the most startling aspect  of  the Meyer

       cell was that it remained cold, even after hours of gas production.

       Meyer's experiments, which he seems to be able to perform to order,

       have earned him  a  series  of US patents granted under Section 101.

       The granting of  a patent under  this  section  is  dependent  on  a

       successful demonstration of the invention to a Patent Review Board.

       Meyer's cell seems to have many of the attributes of an electrolytic

       cell except that  it functions at high voltage, low  current  rather

       than the other   way   around.  Construction  is  unremarkable.  The

       electrodes - referred  to as "excitors"  by  Meyer-  are  made  from

       parallel plates of  stainless  steel  formed  in   either   flat  or

       concentric topography. Gas  production  seems to vary as the inverse

       of the distance between them; the patents suggest a spacing of 1.5mm

       produces satisfactory results.

       The real differences occur in the  power  supply  to the cell. Meyer

       uses an external  inductance  which  appears  to resonate  with  the

       capacitance of the   cell   -  pure  water  apparently  possesses  a

       dielectric constant of about 5 -  to  produce  a  parallel  resonant

       circuit. This is  excited  by  a  high power pulse generator  which,

       together with the  cell  capacitance  and a rectifier diode, forms a

       charge pump circuit. High frequency pulses build a rising staircase

                                      Page 2

       DC potential across  the  electrodes  of  the  cell until a point is

       reached where the water breaks down  and  a  momentary  high current

       flows. A current  measuring  circuit  in  the  supply  detects  this

       breakdown and removes  the pulse drive for a few cycles allowing the

       water to "recover '.

       Research chemist Keith Hindley offers  this  description  of a Meyer

       cell demonstration: "After  a  day  of  presentations,  the  Griffin

       committee witnessed a  number  of important demonstration of the WFC

       (water fuel cell as named by the inventor).

       A witness team of independent UK scientifc  observers testified that

       US inventor, Stanley  Meyer,  successfully decomposed  ordinary  tap

       water into constituent  elements  through  a  combination  of  high,

       pulsed voltage using an average current  measured  only in miliamps.

       Reported gas evolution  was  enough to sustain a hydrogen  /  oxygen

       flame which instantly melted steel.

       In contrast with  normal  high  current  electrolysis, the witnesses

       report the lack of any heating within  the  cell.  Meyer declines to

       release details which  would  allow  scientists  to   duplicate  and

       evaluate his "waterfuel  cell".  However,  he  has  supplied  enough

       detail to the  US  Patents Office  to  persuade  them  that  he  can

       substantiate his 'power-from-water' claims.

       One demonstration cell   was   fitted   with  two   parallel   plate

       "excitors".  Using tap  water to fill the cell, the plates generated

       gas at very low current levels- no greater than a tenth of an amp on

       the ammeter, and claimed to be milliamps  by  Meyer  -  and this gas

       production increased steadily  as  the  plates  were   moved  closer

       together and decreased  as  they  were  separated.  The  DC  voltage

       appeared to be pulsed at tens of thousands of volts.

       A second cell carried nine stainless  steel  double  tube cell units

       and generated much  more  gas. A sequence of photographs  was  taken

       showing gas production  at  milliamp  levels.  When  the voltage was

       turned up to its peak value, the  gas  then  poured  off  at  a very

       impressive level.

       "We did notice that the water at the top of the cell slowly became

       discolored with a  pale  cream  and  dark brown precipitate,  almost

       certainly the effects of the chlorine in the heavily chlorinated tap

       water on the stainless steel tubes used as "excitors".

       He was demonstrating   hydrogen   gas  production  at  milliamp  and

       kilovolt levels.

       "The most remarkable observation is that the WFC and all its metal

       pipework remained quite cold to  the  touch,  even  after  more than

       twenty minutes of operation. The splitting mechanism clearly evolves

       little heat in sharp contrast to electrolysis where  the electrolyte

       warms up quickly."

       "The results appear   to  suggest  efficient  and  controllable  gas

       production that responds rapidly  to  demand  and  yet  is  safe  in

       operation. We clearly saw how increasing and decreasing  the voltage

       is used to  control gas production. We saw how gas generation ceased

       and then began again instantly as  the  voltage  driving circuit was

       switched off and then on again."

                                      Page 3

       "After hours of  discussion  between  ourselves,  we  concluded that

       Steve Meyer did appear to have discovered an entirely new method for

       splitting water which showed few of the characteristics of classical

       electrolysis. Confirmation that his  devices  actually  do work come

       from his collection of granted US patents on various  parts  of  the

       WFC system. Since  they  were  granted  under  Section 101 by the US

       Patent Office, the  hardware  involved   in  the  patents  has  been

       examined experimentally by  US  Patent  Office  experts   and  their

       seconded experts and all the claims have been established."

       "The basic WFC  was subjected to three years of testing. This raises

       the granted patents   to  the  level   of   independent,   critical,

       scientific and engineering  confirmation that the  devices  actually

       perform as claimed."

       The practical demonstration of the Meyer cell appears substantially

       more convincing than  the para-scientific jargon which has been used

       to explain it. The inventor himself talks about a distortion and

       polarization of the water molecule  resulting  in  the  H:OH bonding

       tearing itself apart under the electrostatic potential  gradient, of

       a resonance within the molecule which amplifies the effect.

       Apart from the copious hydrogen/oxygen gas evolution and the minimal

       temperature rise within the cell, witnesses also report that water

       within the cell  disappears  rapidly,  presumably into its component

       parts and as an aerosol from the myriad of tiny bubbles breaking the

       surface of the cell.

       Meyer claims to have run a converted  VW  on hydrogen/oxygen mixture

       for the last four years using a chain of six cylindrical  cells.  He

       also claims that  photon stimulation of the reactor space by optical

       fibre piped laser light increases gas production.

       The inventor is a protegee' of the Advanced Energy Institute.
