The Water-Powered Vehicle That Could Have Changed Everything
What would you do if you stumbled upon an invention that could revolutionize the world but found yourself facing mysterious threats? Join us as we explore the enigmatic life and death of Stanley Meyer, a man whose water-powered car invention promised to shift the paradigms of the automotive industry and environmental conservation. With the intrigue of Meyer's staggering claims and his haunting last words, "they poisoned me," we question the official narrative of his passing. Was he merely a man who succumbed to natural causes, or was his untimely demise a case of foul play driven by those threatened by his groundbreaking ideas?
As we navigate the puzzling circumstances surrounding his death, we dissect the unproven science behind his bold invention and its potential to drastically reduce carbon emissions. Despite the failure to patent or conclusively demonstrate the feasibility of the water-powered vehicle, Meyer's aspirations captured the public's imagination. Our discussion dives into the mysterious motives and personalities involved in this unresolved case, provoking thought on what might have been had Meyer's vision successfully materialized. Whether you're a science aficionado or a lover of unsolved mysteries, this episode promises to captivate and challenge your understanding of innovation and conspiracy.
Hey everyone, welcome back to Strange, strange Beyond, insane, and this is your host, melissa, and I want to talk about Stanley Meyer. So his death was extremely mysterious, but before we get into all of that, let's kind of go over you. Know what he was famous for, by the way? I did not know anything about this guy. Know what he was famous for, by the way? I did not know anything about this guy. My husband was actually telling me about this man about a year ago and it was very interesting. So of course I had to look it up and I knew at some point I wanted to do a podcast episode on him. All right, so Stanley Meyer was 57 years old when he died unexpectedly at a restaurant in Franklin County, ohio. Meyer claimed to have invented a water-powered car which would have revolutionized auto mechanics and once done a great deal in preventing the carbon footprint humans leave behind. However, his theory was never proven nor patented, so he died before he even had the chance.
Speaker 1:On March 21, 1998, stanley Meyer allegedly ordered cranberry juice as a dessert beverage while out to lunch, as he and those accompanying him wrapped up the meal. Yet before they could finish, meyer began to choke after the first sip, running out of the restaurant, he collapsed in the parking lot and Meyer's unsettling last words were Later. As more research was carried out on the scene and Meyer's autopsy was completed, detectives came to the conclusion that Meyer suffered from a brain aneurysm as he had experienced previous episodes of hypertension. The cranberry juice did not show to contain any sort of poisons during the toxicology analysis. Okay, so basically, they did not show, or they didn't see, any signs of poisons inside of him. But why would his last words say that they poisoned me? The case was closed and Stanley Myers' death was simply brushed aside as that of a man in his late 50s who passed of natural causes.
Speaker 1:Maybe more people would buy this explanation if it weren't for three things His last words, like I just said, his car and his claims. Maybe more people would buy this explanation if it weren't for three things His last words, like I just said, his car and his claims. First, it was certainly quite mysterious that his last words were they poisoned me. He had been sitting at the table with a smaller group, and some say that the group was his friends and brothers, while others say that they were Belgian businessmen looking to do business involved with Meyer's invention. The part of this that really unsettles me is that the question of who they quote unquote is like who they're referring to. Right, if he really did believe that he was poisoned, did he believe it was one of the men sitting at the table with him or somehow an employee of the restaurant was opposed to his inventions and they wanted him dead? So maybe someone you know like an inside job, they got hired, okay. Or did maybe he believe that someone had tracked him all the way down to his restaurant for the poison and be sure of the whereabouts of Stanley Meyer? Say he was poisoned by someone who was furious or threatened by his inventions? It likely would have been one of the following people A staff worker at the restaurant, one of his table mates, which I personally find both to be unlikely. I mean, like why someone at the restaurant would care, I mean, unless it was an inside job that leaves only outside sources that could be responsible for the number. I'm sorry for the murder of Meyer, poisoned or not poisoned.
Speaker 1:There is a vital piece of the story that we have yet to really figure out, and there is a newspaper that details Meyer's alleged water-powered car, courtesy of the Classic Car Trust. Meyer claimed to have invented a car that runs solely on water. He allegedly was able to use the particles that water is made up of to use water as a substitute for fuel. Science is not my strong suit, obviously. However, to the right of an expert from one of many news articles that covered Meyer's death, it shows how the science behind a water-powered car might be able to work. The tricky part of this invention is that Meyer was never able to patent his invention. He was never even able to really prove that his theory had even worked. This water-powered car would have changed the world.
Speaker 1:Do you know how many carbon emissions are released into the atmosphere each year just via one driver, which we know? Roughly 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide? Transportation is such a significant factor that plays into the climate change and global warming, as emissions release pollutants into the air, and we know this. I mean even with the newer cars. Now we know what we're breathing right Every time we walk outside, just from cars. Okay, so with a water-powered car, these problems would likely rapidly decrease. Are you also thinking to yourself? Less pollution and healthier environment. How could people possibly be against this? Well, people love money and it is often a deciding factor in people's everyday lives, even though it may cause them to not make the best or environmentally friendly decisions.
Speaker 1:Coal, oil and natural gas are amongst the cheapest natural resources, and they are often used for fuel. Coal and oil are non-renewable resources. However, we continue to use massive amounts of them. Not only do they continue to pollute and harm the environment, but eventually we will run out. Now that is all clearly very, very bad. Why would we not try to find a solution similar to Stanley Meyer, which I would think? Obviously, electric cars, right. That's why they're pushing so much.
Speaker 1:However, I will argue with anyone until I'm blue in the face. Our whole entire world is not really ready for all electric, right, like we really haven't, you know, figured out how to, you know, put the right voltage, um, you know, in our houses for cheap, you know cheaply costs, I should say, to run, you know, that kind of power to a vehicle. And until they, until the government comes and figures that out for all of us, where we don't have to pay for that, I'm sticking with gas. I would never, ever drive electric until the world is ready for it. And, like I said, we're not ready for it yet. Okay, so why not use more solar panels and windmills, since those are better alternatives. Well, remember what we talked about money. People want cheap inputs with quick, extravagant outputs, even if it isn't better in the long run. They make more money through cheap and lazy methods. It is perfect for them and very, you know, terrible for our planet. Right, and it's every all the habitats. But this is why Stanley Meyer's invention was so intriguing. So I I I agree with all this, but again, like if the government isn't going to help, I agree with all this, but again, if the government isn't going to help, the price that you would even have to pay just to go to All Electric. If I go and buy an electric car tomorrow, I still have to find charging ports to go charge it at. If I don't have one at my house, right, and those are very limited. So that's what I mean. Our world is not set up for it.
Speaker 1:The last factor that plays into why this case is so suspicious, and it's because he claims to have received several threats from oil companies. Now, this was Stanley Meyer, he said, as well as bribes of millions of dollars if he would destroy all of his evidence. It is clear that some people were extremely unhappy with Meyer's alleged discoveries. However, would someone go as far as to take his life? It's kind of hard to believe that, but then it's not. You know, if he hadn't patented it, you know, like I don't, I'm sorry. If he did patent it, I think it would be more probable. But since he didn't, I mean unless someone or something stopped him from doing that. But while money can lead to amazing discoveries, money can also create monsters. We know this. Money is the root of all evil. So I don't know if I believe that Stanley Meyer was poisoned during his lunch on March 21st 1998. The toxicology reports show there's no traces of poison.
Speaker 1:But I do believe that there's more to Meyer's story and some of it will likely never be uncovered or no one's even going to understand it or even dig, you know, deep enough, as more parts of this case have been and may continue to be revealed through witnesses, claims, judges and Meyer's history. Maybe the missing pieces will one day, you know, convey like a new explanation for the devastating death of Stanley Meyer. Um, yeah, so that is what happened with him. I thought that was very interesting story. I just find it weird how there's no evidence that I mean there is evidence that he was working on this, but like why would he had not patented, like that was such you know beyond the time, then you know. So I don't know, it's just very, very suspicious. All right, so there there are some really unsettling stories about previous inventors of the world. Okay, so I wanted to add to this episode the forgotten cancer cure.
Speaker 1:So Royal Reif, an American inventor and researcher, claimed to have developed groundbreaking medical technology in the early 20th century. His most notable invention, the Rite machine, was said to use specific electromagnetic frequencies to destroy harmful pathogens, including cancer cells, without damaging healthy tissue. In the 1930s, reif claimed his treatments had successfully cured patients of terminal illness during experimental trials. However, his work was never widely accepted by the medical community. Reif's research faced increasing hostility from established medical authorities, including the American Medical Association. He alleged that the AMA, pharmaceutical companies and other influential groups conspired to discredit him, fearing his device would threaten the profit-driven medical industry. Would threaten the profit-driven medical industry. No-transcript. After he died in 1971, reportedly from alcoholism-related complications, conspiracy theories arose that his revolutionary cancer treatments were suppressed to protect the pharmaceutical industry's interests, ensuring that his once-promising research remains shrouded in mystery.
Speaker 1:All right, so here's another short story that I really like, and this is the Forgotten Father of Film. Louis Lee Prince was on the verge of revolutionizing the world of entertainment in the late 19th century with his invention of motion picture Motion Picture Technology, predating Thomas Edison's work. In 1888, he successfully filmed Roundhay Garden Scene, a short sequence considered the first motion picture in history. By 1890, le Prince was preparing to showcase his invention publicly in the United States, a move that could have centered his place as a father of cinema. However, he mysteriously vanished while traveling a train from Dijon to Paris. His body was never found and no belongings surfaced, leaving his work overshadowed by Edison and other contemporaries.
Speaker 1:I mean, if that's not suspicious as hell, I don't know what is Okay. So this one is about Don Wiley. So he was a leading expert in chemical weaponry, most notably anthrax. During 2001, the anthrax epidemic, wiley's car was found on a bridge with the key still in the ignition. His body was later found in the Mississippi River. Another anthrax scientist named Veldemer Pashnik also died around the same time. We still don't know who was mailing anthrax to unsuspecting people, which makes these deaths even more creepy. Could the scientists have been involved, or did someone want to shut them up so that they couldn't stop the infections.
Speaker 1:So, very interesting. I mean, this is all very, very sus if you ask me. But you know what they say go woke, you go broke. Basically, like you know, when you know too much, you die in some crazy way. So if you have some really cool fucking invention out there, be careful who you tell, be careful how you spread it, even nowadays. I mean, look at all the famous people that speak up about anything right, and they end up dead.
Speaker 1:And another really good, suspicious story like that is Prince the musician. He was talking about the chemtrails in the sky and he was doing research on that and had some breakthroughs about it and was sharing it with people. And you know next thing, you know he was, you know, dead or unalived, whatever you want to call it. But yeah, so I thought this was very interesting. And again, my I'm going to say my last thought on our first um, you know our first topic, uh, stanley Meyer. I it's really hard for me to say that he was poisoned. I'm going to say no, um, that's just Just because of the fact that he never got his car patented and there wasn't really solid evidence that he really made this car and it was working right. So I'm going to have to say that's a solid no for me.
Speaker 1:But all the rest of the stories, these short stories, definitely very suspicious and, as always, if you guys have anything to add to these short little stories on this episode, please let us know.
