Patent for water fueled engine?

[SergiusPaulus]

AIs response concerning a water fueled engine. patent US5149407 A, which pertains to a water-fueled engine.

### Title:

Method for the control of a hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine
### Inventor:

Stanley A. Meyer
### Filing and Publication:

- Filing Date: March 18, 1989

- Publication Date: September 22, 1992

### Abstract:

The invention relates to a method for controlling a hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine. The method focuses on the use of water as a source of hydrogen fuel, where water is converted into a gas mixture of hydrogen and oxygen and then introduced into the combustion chamber of the engine.
### Key Components and Their Functions:
1. Water Fuel Cell:

- Description: A device that electrolyzes water to produce hydrogen and oxygen gases.

- Function: Separates water (H2O) into its component gases, hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2), using an electrical current.
2. Gas Processor:

- Description: A unit that manages the produced gases.

- Function: Conditions the hydrogen and oxygen gases for introduction into the engine, ensuring the correct mixture and purity levels.
3. Hydrogen Injector:

- Description: A device that injects the hydrogen-oxygen gas mixture into the engine’s combustion chamber.

- Function: Delivers the gas mixture at the appropriate timing and pressure to facilitate efficient combustion.
4. Control System:

- Description: An electronic system that regulates the operation of the fuel cell, gas processor, and injector.

- Function: Ensures optimal performance of the engine by controlling the production and delivery of the hydrogen-oxygen gas mixture.
### How It Works:
1. Water Electrolysis:

- Water is fed into the water fuel cell, where it is subjected to an electrical current. This process separates the water into hydrogen and oxygen gases.
2. Gas Conditioning:

- The produced hydrogen and oxygen gases are processed to remove impurities and ensure the correct mixture ratio for combustion.
3. Injection into Combustion Chamber:

- The conditioned gas mixture is injected into the engine’s combustion chamber at precise timings to replace traditional hydrocarbon fuels.
4. Combustion:

- Inside the combustion chamber, the hydrogen and oxygen gases ignite, producing energy to power the engine. The byproduct of this combustion is primarily water vapor, making the process environmentally friendly.
### Advantages:

- Environmentally Friendly: Produces minimal pollutants, with water vapor being the main byproduct.

- Fuel Efficiency: Utilizes water, which is abundant and renewable, as a fuel source.

- Reduced Dependence on Fossil Fuels: Offers an alternative to traditional hydrocarbon fuels, reducing reliance on oil and gas.
### Applications:

- Automotive Engines: Can be used in cars and other vehicles to provide a clean alternative to gasoline and diesel engines.

- Power Generation: Suitable for stationary engines used in power plants and other industrial applications.

### Conclusion:

Patent US5149407 A describes a groundbreaking method for controlling a hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine using water as the primary fuel source. This technology has the potential to revolutionize energy production by providing a clean, efficient, and renewable alternative to traditional fossil fuels.

Apparently Stanley Meyer was murdered. His family still has the patent. But this invention has not come to market.

Last I read is scientists are trying to develop a catalyst using iridium to separate hydrogen from water. The catalyst will allow a more efficient way to do this than the current electrolysis method.

Years ago I was looking to convert my lawn mower to this when I found the fuel vapor method. With my health problems, it's still on the todo list.

There are a bunch of videos out there of people doing this. Search "hydroxy gas engine conversion" to find them. It's apparently not too hard to do, but the engine timing needs to be adjusted. If you ignite hydroxy, it goes off like a gunshot. Normal petroleum products are much slower. That's why engine timing needs tweaking. I'm surprised big oil hasn't forced these sites to be taken down.

Here's a clue I half stumbled across... I think one of these videos might have been posted here. There was a guy with a fish tank doing magnetic vortex experiments (which were pretty neat). He soldered a wire to a magnet that was hooked up to a high frequency generator. His tank had some baking soda in it to make it more conductive. When he turned it on, he got A LOT OF BUBBLES. Anyone see where I'm going with this?
