Xogen Power was a company in Calgary, Canada that claimed to have done the same thing as Stanley Meyer, that is, create power from a water fuel cell. Stanley Meyer died from an "unknown food poisoning", stated the coroner, in March of 1998. After countless searching in October 2005 there has been no contact from Xogen and no information to contact them at. Their website has been bought by a different company that has nothing to do with them. All references to them on the internet do not produce any contact information nor do the patents or the patent's inventor Mr. Stephen Barrie Chambers of Alberta, Canada.

Xogen produced a water fuel cell and also a water treatment cell for septic waste. Both were in a video produced by Xogen for their investors.
Xogen have developed a process to split water and deliver hydrogen on demand to a burner tip, combustion chamber, or fuel cell, without external pressurisation or storage while consuming modest amounts of electrical current. They have joined up with Tathacus Resources Ltd. to develop a home heating apparatus. Their claims have, however, met with skepticism from some quarters.
The Xogen video and patent(PDF) can be viewed at Water for Fuel.Water for Fuel is working on a reproduction of the circuit while adding some enhancements. Water for Fuel claims to have gotten tired of oil wars and gasoline prices. After reading the circuit's capabilities, true or false, decided to try and reproduce the technology. Still in the works, Water for Fuel will offer a circuit schematic for free and working circuits for a nominal amount when/if the technology works. Water for Fuel insists on keeping the information on this research and development completely public and free to use.

The fuel cell consists of stainless steel plates arranged as a capacitor, with pure water acting as the dielectric. A rising staircase of direct current pulses is sent through the plates at roughly 42 kHz, which is claimed to cause the water molecules to intensely break apart with less energy than is required by standard electrolysis.

it was a really great idea if it worked... but the website and company seemed to have faded away or was absorbed by something bigger... anyway a wonderful idea using NORMAL tap water and creating hydrogen and oxygen on demand (no dangerous tanks of explosive gas to explode in a accident)

Good luck finding Chambers.
There is some confusion about Xogen because they made some strange claims and then people filled in the dots in their own minds and came to their own conclusions that Xogen was claiming to have a method of making Hydrogen that was more efficient than electrolysis. Also there was a circuit analysis error and some other minor errors in an independent report of the process that added to the confusion. But their process was ordinary electrolysis and they published tests to prove it.

The public company that was fronting Xogen was Tathacus Resources. Once the whole thing unravelled, Tathacus stock fell to pennies, and the company was bought out as a shell company, (for the value of the tax writeoffs) and the name changed to Pan Terra Resources. It still trades today as a legitimate company but has dropped to 11 cents/share.
What happened to Xogen and Chambers? Gone, along with all the money. As you say John, Good luck finding Chambers!
The "front man" for Tathacus Resources was Barrie Shibley, who is now slinging hash for a food services company in Alberta - Travers Ltd. "Do ya want fries with that?"
