Stanley Allen Meyer (1940–1998) was an American inventor who developed the Water Fuel Cell (WFC) — a Resonant Water Fuel Cell that dissociates water into hydrogen and oxygen using pulsed electric fields at resonant frequencies, with energy input far below conventional electrolysis requirements.
Meyer publicly demonstrated his technology on multiple occasions, including powering a dune buggy on water alone. He was granted multiple US patents and attracted international interest.
Meyer died on March 20, 1998, at a restaurant in Grove City, Ohio. His last words, reportedly spoken to his brother Stephen, were: "They poisoned me." He was 57. His death and the circumstances surrounding it are consistent with the pattern of suppression documented across suppressed energy technology history.
The Water Fuel Cell
Meyer's WFC operates on capacitive resonant dissociation rather than Faradaic electrolysis. The water between concentric stainless-steel electrodes acts as the dielectric of a capacitor. Pulsed voltage at the cell's resonant frequency progressively destabilizes O–H bonds without significant current flow.
Key specifications:
- Concentric T-304 SS cylinders (0.75″ OD outer, 0.50″ OD inner, 0.0625″ gap)
- Resonant charging choke: Ferramic 06 toroid, 200/600 turn primary/secondary
- 1N1198 blocking diode; 50% duty cycle; ~10 kHz
- Voltage builds from 26 V to ~1,000 V+ across cell at minimal current

Patent Chain
| Patent | Title | Year | Key Innovation |
|---|---|---|---|
| US 4,826,581 | Controlled thermal energy production from gases | 1989 | Foundational gas production process |
| US 4,936,961 | Method for production of a fuel gas | 1990 | Resonant charging circuit |
| US 5,149,407 | Process and apparatus for production of fuel gas | 1992 | Complete 4-stage system (dissociation → ionization → priming → ignition) |
Suppression
Meyer's case is one of the most well-documented examples of energy technology suppression:
- Multiple patent challenges and legal proceedings
- Pressure from unnamed parties to sell his technology or cease development
- Death under suspicious circumstances in 1998 — collapsed at a restaurant after drinking cranberry juice
- Post-mortem investigation inconclusive; family maintains he was poisoned
- Much of his laboratory equipment reportedly confiscated or destroyed after his death
Legacy
Despite suppression, Meyer's work has been extensively replicated by independent researchers worldwide. His patents remain public domain and form the technical foundation for the Resonant Water Fuel Cell and broader Water Engine technology.
In the FusionGirl universe, Meyer's resonant electrolysis principle is integrated during Phase 4 of the Electro Speeder build, replacing standard Faraday electrolysis with resonant dissociation.
