@Ewizard
Its not in that paper but I appreciate you posting it. Thanks

@Artoj.
That definitely looks closer than anything yet, and I have not seen that article. I'll start searching around that. I am really grateful for you posting that, thanks a bunch.

I do not understand why this paper has just disappeared. Many people have seen it but strangely they cannot find it either.

Thanks again for everything.

Punches

Could this be the page you are looking for, it even quotes figures regarding the performance compared to normal fuel. Regards Arto

Arto,

I actually have this guy's patent (Ernest Punches) - was going to put it in the next update of my water report - but this is the first time I've seen this article - maybe I'll include that too.

US1283891 is the patent number for anyone interested. Meyer may have gotten his initial ideas from this guy. Would have been hard to come by in Meyer's days before the internet unless he want to one of the few patent repositories around the country but anyone determined enough...

Hey Aaron I get patent for Mixing devices under that number. Do you have copy of the patent you could share or send me. I'll keep for this project only if you need me too.

I appreciate it.

mixing device patent

Matthew,

Yes, that's the right patent.

That mixing device is to mix the hydrogen gas from water with ambient air and that creates a very combustible mixture that is suitable for running an engine. He also describes the device as being similar to a carburetor. It is the patent that covers the concepts written in that article.

Meyer describes his mixing device as mixing the exhaust with the HHO but in the diagrams, it is entirely all too clear that he is passing the exhaust through a venturi to pull the HHO out under negative pressure.

Anyway, the concepts are basically the same.
