In the 1980’s an inventor named Stan Meyer built the first Water Powered Car ... Stan Meyer wanted to .. prevent the influence of oil rich countries on America. This idea culminated into an invention he called the Water Fuel Injection System Patent #2,067,735 ... This "spark plug" uses a laser to fracture water mixed with ionized and non-combustible gases to create an explosion that drives the cars pistons. Meyers said with a simple adaption his device would work on any gas motor. Unfortunately Stan died a very bizarre death and his water car was forgotten. At the time of his death Meyers had 42 patents ... Most of them where granted in the form of Section 101 of the US Patent Act which means the patent is granted only under successful demonstration ...

BTW: here's another article

... He once called Grove City police to his home and laboratory on Broadway to report a suspicious package. The Columbus bomb squad detonated the parcel, only to discover it was equipment that he had ordered ... Meyer's work defies the Law of Conservation of Energy ... a Fayette County judge found "gross and egregious fraud" in Meyer's contract negotiation with two businessmen ... The Franklin County coroner ruled that Meyer, who had high blood pressure, died of a brain aneurysm ...

1. Once we all get Mr. Fusions to power the lasers

this will be a dandy idea!

[EvolveOrConvolve]

2. I think that Mr. Meyer should have powered his car

with unicorn turds and pixie dust. (That option wasn't on the poll, so I'm writing it in)

3. However natural it might be to suspect that the CIA hacked into his unicorn, causing

it to gore him while he was collecting the secret ingredients that actually made his invention work and thus resulting in his untimely death, I was unfortunately somehow unable to discover any links supporting this particular theory and so was reluctantly forced to leave it out of my poll

4. Ah, but lack of evidence is PROOF

of the conspiracy's efficacy.

5. I don't think there are the votes to repeal thermodynamics, but it might be defunded.

You have to work with political realities.
