Number three: The Water Fuel Cell. Stanley Meyer, an Ohio inventor, introduced the water fuel cell in the 1980s. "I don't care if you use rainwater, well water, city water, ocean water. If you don't have any fresh water, go ahead and use snow. If you don't have any snow available to you, then use salt water because there's no adverse effect to the fuel cell." Meyer's cell was said to use resonant frequencies to break water bonds with minimal electrical input and allegedly powered a dune buggy he claimed was powered entirely by his water fuel cell. The invention drew news attention and overseas interest. In 1998 Meyer died of cerebral aneurysm, fueling conspiracy theories about poisoning. Despite attempts, no one has demonstrated a working model. The water fuel cell remains a symbol of hope for some and skepticism for others, a vital part of the quest for clean energy.
