Wikipedia, "Water fuel cell" (en.wikipedia.org)
Raw wikitext via curl: research/pages/wikipedia-water-fuel-cell.txt. [web] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_fuel_cell
- Cites the Sunday Times (Tony Edwards, "End of road for car that ran on Water", 1 Dec 1996, Features p.12) for:
- expert witness Prof. Michael Laughton (Queen Mary, FREng) and Meyer's "lame excuse" for not allowing the car test;
- three expert witnesses finding "nothing revolutionary about the cell";
- "gross and egregious fraud" and repayment of "$25,000".
- The article tags the "three expert witnesses" claim {{who}}, and does not name the court. The docket (stanslegacy note) shows Fayette County, Willis and Harper, and $40,515.72 garnished.
- Anomaly to examine: Laughton was one of the three UK observers who reported favourably in Electronics World in Jan 1991, and in 1996 he is named as the expert witness. Whether he testified, and for which side, is not in the docket transcription. The decision transcript of 11 Sep 1996 would show it.

- PDF made 25 Aug 2006, from "Microsoft Word - preface.doc". Pages 224-233 add "Replication of Stanley Meyer's Demonstration Electrolyser" by Dave Lawton (Wales), dated 2 Jun 2006. This appendix is not by Meyer.
- Lawton's cell: six pairs of 316L tubes, 5 inches long.
- Driven by an alternator or by an NE555 / BUZ350 MOSFET circuit.
- Current draw: "With just one tube in place, the current draw is about one amp", under 2 A with three tubes, and little more with six.
- The appendix gives currents (amps at about 12 V, i.e. tens of watts) but no gas rate. (The replication is "priority 2/3": a builder's report, not a controlled test.)
- Page 1 cites "foreign grant license No. 492680 issued July 10, 1989 and ... No. 490606 issued Nov. 15, 1989" as US government permission. This bears on the newsletter's "under a national security review". A USPTO foreign-filing licence is routine ([memory], high confidence); the reviewers should weigh it.
- Pages 1-223 appear to be the same brief as the folder copy (222 pp.). Not compared page by page.

research/pages/tuks-stanmeyerssecret.*. Lammertink argues the first dune-buggy cell was built from scrap tubes of unknown alloy, which would explain why "a working car ... stopped working" and why Meyer had steel samples of two diameters analysed in 1982. This links to the Robert L. Queen affidavit in the 1995 binder. Lammertink claims a COP "of at least 500" for the first prototype by inference from running off the car battery. This is his inference, not a measurement. He notes about 9 minutes of surviving footage of the buggy driving, and that the original was held by the Columbus Dispatch news department. - http://www.tuks.nl/wiki/index.php/Main/MeyerWFCReplicationProject [web]: a replication plan based on Lawton and Cramton kits. It quotes Patrick Kelly on a UK group running a 5.5 kW generator on about 3 lpm hydroxy gas (second-hand, no data). It relates the effect to Pollack's "exclusion zone" (EZ) water layers, which is related theory (priority 3).

"Efficiency improvement by pulsed water electrolysis: An unjustified hope". Saved: research/files/Puteanus-2025-IJHE-pulsed-electrolysis.pdf. A mainstream related paper (priority 3), labelled as that source's view. It argues, by "a proof using Jensen's inequality" on a standard PEM cell model, "that pulsed electrolysis consistently deteriorates the efficiency of water electrolysis". It does not mention Meyer. It cites Shimizu et al. ("ultra-short-pulse power supply"), the mainstream pulsed-electrolysis work closest to Meyer's pulsed-drive idea. Also listed but not opened: Ghosh et al. 2026 (TU Delft; the curl got an HTML page, not the PDF), "Modulating the current in water electrolysis does not ..." (IJHE).
