Stanley Meyer

American inventor who claimed to have developed a water fuel cell that could power a car using water as fuel through a process he called 'thermal explosive energy.' Meyer demonstrated his dune buggy running on water and received patents for his technology. He died suddenly on March 20, 1998 at age 57 during a meeting at a restaurant. His last words were reportedly 'They poisoned me.' After his death, his brother reported that Meyer's equipment and research materials were stolen. A UK-funded engineering team later acquired some of his technology through his heirs, got the devices working in Michigan, but according to Greer, 18-19 members of that team were subsequently killed. One survivor met with a businessman in Orange County, California, crying and confirming all others had been 'eliminated.' The technology vanished.
