Essay / Water: A Fuel to Consider - 1033
Water: The Next FuelA man named Stanley A. Meyers was poisoned to death in a restaurant in Grove City, Ohio, on March 20, 1998 ("Stanley Meyer", undated). This shows how dangerous it can be to invent or develop free energy. We live in a capitalist country where in some states the government charges sixty cents per gallon (Kohen, 2012). Some time before his death, Stanley Meyer demonstrated in a report on an Ohio television station that he was able to operate his dune buggy using only tap water. He estimated in the report that to travel from Los Angeles to New York it would only take about 22 gallons of water (Robinson, n.d.). So shouldn't we develop Stanley Meyer's technology to power our lives? This article explains how cars can use hydrogen to produce energy, how they are environmentally friendly, car manufacturers and the Department of Energy (DOE), boundary conditions and lifespan of a hydrogen car, as well as the science behind Stanley Meyer's dune buggy. BackgroundThe chemical composition of water is perfect for creating fuel. When separated into individual atoms and then oxidized as a fuel to burn, it is 2.5 times more powerful than the gasoline we use today. Stanley Meyer and his brother developed a way to use a modulating current to effectively break the water molecule into individual atoms using what he called a "water fuel cell." According to his patent, the term “fuel cell” refers to the single unit of the invention that produces the combustible gases in accordance with the method stated in the patent (Meyer, 1989).
