**Introduction:**

"Welcome to creative habits podcast, Today, we explore the fascinating tale of Stanley Meyer and his invention of a water-powered car. Join us as we uncover the mysteries and controversies surrounding this revolutionary concept."

**Who was Stanley Meyer?**

Stanley Meyer was an American inventor and entrepreneur known for his claims of having developed a technology capable of running a car on water as a fuel source. Born in 1940, Meyer grew up with an interest in electronics and mechanics. He held various patents related to electronic control systems and, most notably, his invention of a purported water fuel cell.

Meyer claimed that his water fuel cell could split water into its components, hydrogen and oxygen, using a process that consumed minimal energy and produced a combustible gas (HHO or oxyhydrogen). According to him, this gas could be used as a fuel source for internal combustion engines, replacing traditional gasoline.

He gained attention in the 1990s after public demonstrations of a dune buggy purportedly running on water. Meyer's claims about the water-powered car and the technology behind it sparked significant interest and controversy. Despite the attention, Meyer faced skepticism from the scientific community and was unable to provide scientific evidence or allow independent verification of his invention's viability.
