But over on the right side, why does it say that he was murdered? Was he?
If so then I hope he shared his knowledge with someone else. You know that someone with something like that would be a threat to all the worlds powers. I hope he's still alive.

The water fuel cell is a perpetual motion device that was supposed to function by breaking water into hydrogen and oxygen gases using less energy than that present in the bond itself. The water fuel cell was claimed to produce several times more energy than it consumed (for instance, by connecting it to an engine that would burn the hydrogen back into water), and a car prototype powered by a water fuel cell was assembled.
Since this concept violates the first law of thermodynamics and this apparatus has never been demonstrated to work or reproduced, it was met with much skepticism and was later found to be a hoax. The purpose of the hoax was likely to attract gullible investors, selling them licensing rights for a "revolutionary" technology. The inventor, Mr. Stanley Meyer (died March 21, 1998), was later successfully sued by some of these disgruntled investors, whom he had sold "dealerships", and convicted for "gross and egregious fraud".

very interesting video indeed.
the knowledge is still well known, there was infact a car program on last night which was talking about how Honda have developed a fully functional water-powered car (they test drove it etc). there are no emissions, just water.. and it's got pretty good performance.. it does 100mph and 0-60 in around 13 seconds (not fast, but its not dreadful for a prototype).
with a giant like Honda working on it, it's bound to be commonplace in the not-too-distant future.
