"The Water Engine" is a play by David Mamet set in 1934 New York about a young amateur inventor who designs an engine running on water. His attempt to patent this disruptive alternative energy technology faces violent suppression. Real-life inventors have attempted to create water-fueled cars, with Stanley Meyer being a notable example. Some believe he was murdered to prevent his technology from becoming commercially available. While claims of replicating Meyer's achievement persist, mainstream science questions the violation of thermodynamics laws. Skeptics argue the implausibility of running an internal combustion engine on pure water. The debate centers on the feasibility of supplementing gasoline with energy extracted from water. The story highlights the controversy and potential conspiracy surrounding water-powered engines, with opinions divided on its validity.
1. The text discusses a play by David Mamet called "The Water Engine," which is about a young amateur inventor who designs an engine that runs on water.
2. The inventor's plan to patent this alternative energy technology is met with violent suppression.
3. The play is set in 1934 New York and is a work of fiction.
4. There have been numerous attempts by real-life inventors to create a water-fueled car, a device that can produce fuel from water with no other energy input.
5. The ability to extract the chemical potential energy directly from water in excess or equal proportion to the energy required to facilitate such production is mainstream science.
6. This is considered a violation of the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
7. Stanley Meyer, an inventor, claimed that he achieved this and it is suspected among the conspiratorial minded that Stanley Meyer just like the inventor in David Mamet's play the water engine met with violent opposition to his disruptive alternative energy technology.
8. Stanley Meyer was likely murdered by agents working for big oil to prevent his water engine from becoming commercially available.
9. There are kits available which will allow consumers to supplement their gasoline fuel with a chemical energy extracted from water, thus improving their car's fuel mileage.
10. The text ends with a call to action, encouraging listeners and viewers to not be afraid and to take action, contacting the host through his website.
