The Water Fuel Museum, also known as the Kentucky Water Fuel Museum, was a self-funded museum near downtown Lexington, Kentucky, opened in the fall of 2005, and closed one year later. It revealed the history of efforts to use water as a source of combustible fuel. Owner The official website for the Water Fuel Museum was created in 2005 and registered to James Robey. Robey is the museum curator, the website owner, and the author of a self-published book titled Water Car: How To Turn Water Into Hydrogen Fuel! Robey felt compelled to open the museum upon identifying a "conspiracy of silence" regarding the possibilities of utilizing these technologies. Curator's choice Museum exhibits focused on technologies claiming to use water as a fuel. US patents for water fuel devices dating back to the 1800s were displayed, as were scientific papers, newspaper and magazine articles, and newscast videos chronicling their history. The centerpiece exhibit was a 1971 Ford LTD allegedly converted to run on water by the late Tennessee inventor Herman Pleasant Anderson. It also had information on the invention of the internal combustion automobile by François Isaac de Rivaz, with an engine powered by a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen.
