American inventor Stanley Meyer claimed in the 1980s to have created a car engine that ran solely on water, a device he called a "water fuel cell." However, his invention was scientifically debunked as a violation of the laws of thermodynamics and was ultimately ruled a "gross and egregious fraud" by an Ohio court in 1996.

What happened to the "water powered cars" in the 1990s? | Nikola Tesla facts and quotes

In the late 1980s, American inventor Stanley Meyer revealed a groundbreaking innovation that could have transformed the global energy landscape: a car powered entirely by water. His invention used a process called electrolysis to split ordinary water into hydrogen and oxygen via a specialized fuel cell. That hydrogen was then burned as fuel, driving the engine without gasoline, oil, or emissions. Unlike conventional electrolysis, Meyer claimed his method required far less energy, making it remar

This is the story of the mysterious death of Stanley Meyer and his water powered dune buggy. Most say this technology was never possible, as electrolysis can’t produce net energy. They also point to Meyer’s loss in a court case where he was found to have committed “egregious fraud” regarding the functionality of his water fuel cell in 1996. He was ordered to repay investors $25K. Others believed there was something different about his invention and could change the world. Two years later, Meyer
