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.
