MEETING WITH

ADMIRAL SIR ANTHONY GRIFFIN

1100 THURSDAY 28th FEBRUARY 1993

INTRODUCTION

I. The purpose of tts meeting Is to decide whether or not Perkins wishes to proceed with the TACO agreement in the light of Stan Meyer's proposed contract.

FACTORS AGAINST

2 The proposed contract calls for a deposit of $125k leading to @ total for TACO Phase 1 (plus part TACO Phase 2) of $147.374k and contains a ‘no redress’ clause in the event of WFC failure.

3. On none of the 3 occasions, Ocrober 1990. August 1992 and October 1992, when UK experts visited Ohio, was there a practical demonstration of a running internal combustion engine fuelled by water in accordance with WFC technology.

4. A substantial number of UK scientists and engineers regard WFC technology as in breach of the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

FACTORS IN FAVOUR

5. Repeated practical demonstrations of Meyer's equipment in support of his original patent in 1980. Electrolysis was clearly not involved, consequently dissociation was being achieved by somc unfamiliar process.

6. Meyer's readiness to commit himself and his technology to a major public demonstration in the UK. the first to be held outside the US.

7, Numerous US companics, including for example Pratt & Whitney, arc known to have entered into similar forms of contract amounting, in August 1992, to over $200m worth of deposits.

8. The US Air Force. (at the Wright Patterson Airforce Base near Columbus, Ohio) is mOW negotiating a jet conversion contract with Meyer.

9. Meyer reports that US pollution controls on US diesel engines are proving over costly. Apparently several US diesel manufacturers are now looking seriously at WFC.

10. German and Dutch companies are now Negotiating contracts with Meyer, and one. SAGANTEC in Holland has donated funds, amounting to between $100k and $200k for the Cevelopment and programming of a new electronic control chip.

11, Sussex University has succeeded in producing hydrogen from a breadboard rig based on Meyer's circuitry

12. In their DTI spensored report, published in carly 1992, on Mever's patents, experts from Queen Mary and Westfield College of the University of London, were unable to reconcile Meyer's WFC descriptions as presented both in his patents and his other technical papers with currently established scientific doctrine and literature. However they left open the possibility that WFC might prove to be an altogether new development.

13. The origins of this so-calied ‘new’ development has been attribured partly to- James

Cierk-Maxwell’s work, particularly his ‘Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism’ first published in 1873. where he identified a source of considerable energy in the vacuum and

partly in Sir Edmund Whittaker’s papers published in 1904 in which he proved. in theory, how this energy could be tapped and engineered. During the past 20 years considerable progress has been made on both fronts and the existence of vacuum energy is no longer in dispute. John Archibaic Wheeler of Princeton University has measured its flux density as 10°*grams/cm'. Several distinguished scientists. notably A.Prigogine in 1977, and Morav B_King in 1978, amongst others, have described how this energy could be tappec Only a very small fraction of the toral energy freely and inexhaustibly available. wouid be required to achieve both the dissociation of water and the ionisation of gases with resultant availabiity of atomic energy. The mechanism they describe for such tapping inciudes the applicar- 1on of very high voltage pulses at a frequency which resonates with that of the water melecule. This 1s similar to and is believed to provide independent collateral for WFC technology.

1a. The above phenomena relate to an open system. Since the first and second laws of thermodynamics relate to closed systems they are not being infringed by WFC.

15. The volkswagen engined dune buggy for TACO Phase 1 has already been acquired ar no cost to Perkins.

16 At Meyer's request an important component (spools for the Voltage Intensifier Circuit) of the volkswagen conversion equipment has already been manufactured in the UK and another ts being nezotiated.

17. Meyer's cosis are related to prototype equipment.

16. Meyer has delegated the promotion of the marine application of WFC to Admiral Griffin.

19, TACO Phase 2 would be the first world demonstration of a marine diesel.

20. Perkins is at present the only UK companv involved and has an Opportunity not Only to gain eaclusive rights to a very substantial market but also to promote a favourable posiuon for the UK as 2 whole in his potentially important field.

URGENCY

21. An urgent decision is needed if the agreed TACO programme is to be met and the UK is to achieve, through Perkins. a favourable positicn in Europe

22. Connections with UK gas turbine (both marine and aero), power generation and heavy marine diesel (e.g.30k hp) companies need to be made as soon as possible.

23. HRH the Duke of Kens. who has taken a close interest in the subject and agreed to open any London demonstration. will be holding his programme meeting covering next July on 16th February.

24. The owner of the ‘Brunel’ (now fitted with a Perkins Type 6.3544M marine diesel) needs as much notice as possible for the London demonstration, due, according to the TACO agreement, to take place in July 1993.
