The search for and the development of an alternative to fossil fuel is past due. Why, in a country that touts itself as the greatest country on earth, are we still using dangerous and primitive technology for transportation? Hydrogen from water is nothing new. It is not even all that highly technical to separate the hydrogen from the oxygen. The problem is doing it efficiently enough so that it out performs fossil fuel. Many people including scientist, say that it is not effective because in order to get the hydrogen we need to add electricity which increases the use of electricity and therefore increases the burning of coal. For the most part that is a correct assumption. Let's assume you can get hydrogen from water with an efficiency rating of say... 92%. If one were to achieve this, then the hydrogen production will be cost effective.
According to a man by the name of Stanley A. Meyer, it is possible to achieve that level of efficiency. Meyer claimed to make it from NYC to LA on 22 gallons of water. This is interesting, because that means it is not perpetual. Despite the fact that Meyer himself never claimed to create or possess a perpetual machine, the wikipedia entry (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Meyer%27s_water_fuel_cell) on his invention officially misinforms us about the function of his invention. The article contradicts itself, it mentions the mileage and contradicts itself by saying at the top that the machine is claimed to be a perpetual motion machine. How can it have an mpg if it is perpetual? Seriously? This seems fishy to me. Why would they misinform us about this valid invention? Oh, almost forgot, Oil. Henry Ford made a car that ran on hemp and it was made entirely from hemp fiberglass, a very durable material. He made the car in the 1940's as a demonstration that, other options were and still are available til this day. Cleaner and more cost effective materials and fuels are available.
Stanley A. Meyer said in his last words "They poisoned me." He believed that he was poisoned for successfully creating a technology that would end America's dependence on Crude Oil. If this was the case, and personally I do believe it was, then he was a true patriot. He was fighting against foreign control of our economy. He was doing far more than any solider can possibly do with a gun on a battlefield. He was sick and tired of seeing his brothers go off and die for international oil and banking tycoon greed. He realized the problem and obsessed over the solution. We see the CEO of Monsanto on the cover of magazines, being rewarded and held in high esteem as a success! Monsanto is responsible for the colony collapse disorder have recently seen in the honey bee population. Stanley A. Meyer was snuffed for eliminating the need for oil and Monsanto is rewarded for genocide. It's a strange world.
