Stanley Meyer and The Water Car Hoax

[Yucca]

Any scientist will acknowledge we don't know everything about biology, physics, astrology etc.

LOL , I'm pretty sure you meant to say "cosmology" rather than "astrology". I can hardly see you giving any credence to astrology.

Also, I don't think Meyer was a hoax. Everything I've read about him and all that I've seen of him and his work leads me to believe he was a good man.

Oops!

I'm not so sure. Why on earth did Meyer sell 'dealerships' to investors (for which he was later prosecuted for fraud) before perfecting his invention? That's straight out of the Dennis Lee scam handbook.

I don't disagree there are plenty of deluded inventors out there, but self delusion only lasts so long once money starts to come into it.

The heavy Generator is in the trunk of the Car what you see up front is the Electric Motor which is driven by the Generator

Does he say that in the video? I didn't hear it and neither did the poster on PESwiki. If his magical generator is in the trunk, why doesn't he show it?

Sure, there could be a magical generator in the trunk. There could also be a stack of lead acid batteries. What's more likely?

Prosecution for fraud... well it's an easy way to discredit/ostracise someone. If someone is jeopordising the profits of a large corporation then said corporation will use any trick in the book to stop that. I'm sure the grounds for prosecution were that he was trying to franchise something that the prosecuter said did not exist and was all baloney, then some PHD would have been brought in to explain about Faradays law in electrolysis etc.

Slightly off topic but... you should note that the managers and CEOs of the massive financial companies that have failed to meet their obligations with regard to options and derivatives contracts have not been tried for fraud, instead there is talk of the American public paying their debts off for them. If you're so concerned about fraud then you must consider this to be diabolical, or do you think those CEOs are better people than Meyer and are out to help us all?

No he did not say that in the Video because he has not aware that he has to address Morons like you .
Did you see the Generator any where else? Perhaps on the Passenger seat? I suppose the electric Motor was really a Combustion Engine eh?
Get a Life!
