Leads for review

1. The inventor's own work

• US 5,293,857 (granted 15 Mar 1994), "Hydrogen gas fuel and management system ...", the US member of the WO 92/08046 family. Downloaded; not in the folder. It bears on claim 3 (vehicles and fuel management). [web] https://patents.google.com/patent/US5293857A/en
• Meyer's "WFC International Independent Test-Evaluation Report" (1 Jan 1995), his own binder of third-party material. It is not in the folder and is transcribed page by page at stanslegacy.com. It bears on Meyer's claims of outside confirmation and on claims 1 and 2 (its Memo 420-DA energy calculations, pp.59-60).
• "WFC Public Notice to Inform" (20 Dec 1996), Meyer's own account of the trial. He says Judge Corzine ruled WFC "did not have an amperage inhibiting circuit, did not have a Voltage Intensifier Circuit (VIC) and therefore the WFC water splitting process was only electrolysis". He says WFC's VIC demonstration was not recorded because the court audio was switched off. This bears on claim 1 (non-electrolytic splitting).
• Recorded talks: 1992 Global Sciences Congress "Voltage Disassociation of Water", a 1993 interview, and lecture videos on the Internet Archive. They bear on claims 1-3 if transcribed.
• A 1990 edition of "The Birth of New Technology" is cited by Heard (2000). The folder copy is c.1996.
• The foreign-filing licence numbers (492680, 10 Jul 1989; 490606, 15 Nov 1989) are cited on Birth p.1 as government permission. They bear on the "national security review" statements.

2. Supporting information by others

• Electronics World + Wireless World, Jan 1991, pp.10-12. Eyewitness account by Hindley, with Laughton and Griffin present in Oct 1990. Ammeter "no greater than a tenth of an amp", "tens of thousands of volts", cell stayed cold, steel bar melted. The editor's caveat: "the experimental technique has more holes in it than a sieve". Hindley argued that Section 101 patents amount to independent confirmation; that is his characterization. Bears on claim 1. Saved in research/files.
• Perkins Technology Ltd bench observation, 8 Oct 1992 (Downes, Purkins, Dr M. Graham, with Griffin). Dissociation from about 10 V, "current less than 1 milliamp", vessel at room temperature. Perkins decided to support WFC "subject to 'proof of concept' and costing" (Project TACO: a VW engine, then the Thames ferry Brunel's diesel). Bears on claim 1 and claim 3.
• Sussex University breadboard "succeeded in producing hydrogen from a breadboard rig based on Meyer's circuitry". Reported in a Perkins note of 28 Feb 1993. The underlying report was not found.
• Tibor Nagypál (Vienna), 4 Jun 1991. Built a plate cell with a 600 V voltage intensifier. Got 0.5-1 cc of gas per minute at about 20 mA. Could not reproduce Meyer's waveforms. Claimed about 300% "relative effectivity". Offered himself as a distributor (interested party). This is the source of "Your theory works". Bears on claim 1.
• Hans Nieper (DVS, Hannover), 14 Dec 1996, refers to "the tested overunity effect". Griffin's Warsash lecture (Sep 1993) reports 10 W in, gas at 10 psi within 10 s, vessel cold. A Dublin Institute of Technology explanation is in the 1995 binder. All bear on claims 1 and 2.
• Dave Lawton (Wales) replication, 2006, 6 tube pairs. Currents of about 1-2 A are reported; no gas-rate or energy figures. Others (Ravi Raju, Scott Cramton) built on it. Bears on claim 1. Builders' reports, not controlled tests.
• Witness accounts in the Dispatch, 2007: Charles Hughes saw Meyer's tractor run 15 minutes on well water; family recollections of buy-out offers ($250 million, $800 million, "a billion"). Bears on claim 3 and on suppression narratives.

3. Closely related work

• Puteanus et al., IJHE 113 (2025). Argues pulsed electrolysis cannot exceed steady DC efficiency (Jensen's-inequality proof). The opposing camp is Shimizu et al.'s ultra-short-pulse electrolysis papers. Mainstream context for claims 1 and 5. Saved.
• Kucherov, US 5,632,870 (1997) cites Meyer. An electrolytic cell said to draw ambient heat into the split. Bears on claim 2 (energy beyond the input).
• Lammertink (tuks.nl): the scrap-steel alloy hypothesis for why the first cell "worked then stopped". This links to Meyer's 1982 steel-analysis affidavits (Robert L. Queen). Also a Pollack exclusion-zone interpretation. Bears on claim 1.
• Electrically induced water explosions are filed by Meyer in his 1995 binder as bearing on claim 2: Gary L. Johnson (Kansas State), and Azevedo, P. Graneau and N. Graneau (Physics Letters A, 1986).

4. The historical record

• NIST Office of Energy-Related Inventions evaluation (c.1990-91). Spy (Dec 1991) quotes NIST's report: the WFC "would be a net consumer of energy, not an energy producer". Heard (2000) cites a letter from George P. Lewett (NIST), 28 Jun 1991. This is a US government technical evaluation, i.e. the agency's characterization. The file is not obtained. It is the strongest unobtained record for claims 1 and 2.
• Fayette County Common Pleas CVH19930292, Willis and Harper v. Meyer. Filed 21 Sep 1993. Judge William Corzine. Trial Feb and May 1996. Decision 7 Aug 1996, judgment 24 Sep 1996. $40,515.72 garnished. Satisfied 6 Mar 1997. Exhibits and depositions destroyed 18 Jun 2014. Still to obtain: the decision transcript (filed 11 Sep 1996) and the Final Judgment Entry (Min 116/166-168). These would show who the three experts were and what the court found about the VIC.
• UK DTI-sponsored report by Queen Mary and Westfield College (early 1992) on Meyer's patents, as summarised by Perkins. Its experts "were unable to reconcile Meyer's WFC descriptions ... with currently established scientific doctrine and literature. However they left open the possibility" of a new development. Not obtained. UK National Archives Discovery found nothing under the terms tried.
• Perkins note, 28 Feb 1993: "On none of the 3 occasions, October 1990, August 1992 and October 1992, when UK experts visited Ohio, was there a practical demonstration of a running internal combustion engine fuelled by water." This bears on claim 3, and it comes from a party that wanted to proceed.
• Absence-of-evidence anomaly: Laughton. In 1990 he was a favourable observer (Electronics World). The Sunday Times (1 Dec 1996) names him as the 1996 expert witness who was refused the car test. The docket transcription does not show him. The decision transcript would settle whether, and for whom, he testified.
• Franklin County Common Pleas cases:
• 79CV004853, Schuler/Leukart v. Meyer (1979-81).
• 93CV005477, Schneider, Brooks and Gilvesy v. Meyer. Settled 1994; Brooks invested over $300k.
• 99CV006575, Kramer v. Cincione, Admr.
• 99CV006793, Porter Wright Morris & Arthur v. Cincione, Admr.
• Franklin County Probate 457686 (estate, 1998-2001):
• Administrator Alphonse P. Cincione.
• Inventory about $306,608.
• "Water Fuel Cell: Valuation of Sole Proprietorship as of March 21, 1998", filed 15 Sep 1999. In the court file, not online. This record would show what an appraiser valued the technology at.
• The computer was searched by ADS Systems.
• The Canadian patents were maintained (corroborated: CA 2,067,735 examination request filed 15 May 1998).
• The "83 DuneBuggy" was transferred on 5 May 2000.
• Patents after death: the estate assigned US 4,936,961, 5,149,407 and 5,293,857 to Marilyn Meyer on 22 Mar 2001. Fees were paid to 2002, then the patents lapsed (2004, 2006). Marilyn Meyer died 29 Jul 2003 (per stanslegacy). There is no sign of a licensee or buyer: a record that goes quiet, to analyse.
• Death, 20 or 21 Mar 1998. The coroner ruled a cerebral aneurysm. The Grove City police file has no taped interviews of the two Belgian investors (Phillippe Vandemoortele, Marc Vancraeyenest), who had agreed to buy 56 acres for a research campus. The police file and the coroner's report would settle what was asked of them.
• Contemporary press:
• Air & Space Smithsonian, Oct/Nov 1991 (the NIST verdict);
• Ship & Boat International, Jun 1991 (RINA);
• Asian Defence Journal, 1992;
• Fortean Times, 1997;
• IECEC 1993 (Bailey and Grotz);
• Channel 4 "It Runs on Water", 17 Dec 1995;
• Grove City Record, 1976-1998 (18 dated pages indexed at stanmeyerfiles.com);
• Columbus Dispatch, 15 Apr 1987 (cited by stanslegacy).

Corrections to earlier documents

1. The court and the plaintiffs. claims.md and facts.json do not name the 1996 court. Retellings such as Wikipedia say "an Ohio court" and "$25,000". The court record transcribed at stanslegacy shows Fayette County Court of Common Pleas, case CVH19930292, Willis and Harper v. Meyer, Judge William Corzine. The final judgment was 24 Sep 1996; $40,515.72 was collected by garnishment (case total $41,754.29). The Franklin County case 93CV005477 (Schneider, Brooks and Gilvesy) is a separate case, settled in 1994. Later steps should use these facts and say that the $25,000 figure comes from the Sunday Times and its copies. Evidence: stanslegacy docket transcription; Columbus Dispatch, 8 Jul 2007 ("a Fayette County judge").
2. Date of death. The Columbus Dispatch gives 20 Mar 1998 (Cracker Barrel). The probate case sheet as transcribed gives "Date of death 21 March 1998". Later steps should note both and not settle on one without the death certificate.
3. "Your theory works" (claims.md, newsletter quote attributed to Dr T. Nagypal of Vienna). The source letter (4 Jun 1991) is now available. In it Nagypál reports 0.5-1 cc/min of gas, says he could not reproduce Meyer's waveforms, and offers himself as a distributor. The quote should be shown in that context.
4. claims.md lists 13 US patents from the brief and notes the folder lacks some. Confirmed: US 5,293,857 is not in the folder. It is now in research/files/.
