The Sea Of Energy
In Which The Earth Floats

T. Henry Moray
Chapter 2 – Radiant Energy In Ernest
People, like objects, seem to be governed by the laws of inertia. Ideas or inventions which may change the status quo are viewed with alarm by many scientists, particularly if they cannot understand or explain the new in terms of present knowledge. Through the years, continual experimentation and refinement have gone forward. But always in the long run the work of advancement has fallen back onto one man and his resources.
Many persons have questioned what this thing is that Henry called “Radiant Energy,” which has caused so much discussion over the years. In lay terms, it is the direct harnessing of the vast power of the universe to produce electrical energy for man’s needs.
Henry Moray demonstrated that energy was available by its actions on a resistive load, such as a flat-iron or a space heater, and by lighting lights. A resistive load is directly proportional to the amount of energy delivered to it. In heating a heater or lighting a light, the number of watts produced can be calculated as being equal to the number of watts consumed. This energy is fed into a load to give either heat/light, or power. A motor can be operated but must be designed for high frequency. The Radiant Energy device operation is shown, in which he used an antenna and a ground connected to his solid state R.E.device.
As an innovative researcher, Henry Moray had a dream, a vision, and from his boyhood he pursued this radiant energy. He did not really care where the energy came from. He only wished to demonstrate its existence to the scientific world. He was able to show that none of the energy came from within his device. Internally the device was electrically dead when it had not been connected and tuned to the antenna. When his device was set up, he could connect it to an antenna and a ground, and by priming it first and then tuning it as he primed it, the device would draw electrical energy. This high frequency electrical energy produced up to 250,000 volts and it lighted a brighter light than witnesses had ever before seen. Heavy loads could be connected to the device without dimming the lights that were already connected to it. This device worked many miles from any known source of electrical energy, such as transmission lines or radio. The device produced up to 50,000 watts of power and worked for long periods of time.
Because he was an intuitive researcher, he had built solid state devices using second and third order magnitudes of reasoning, skipping from building a simple crystal set to searching for a detector that would bring in this energy. He assumed at first that this energy was electromagnetic in origin; however, he never claimed that it was electromagnetic in nature. He assume at first that this energy from the earth. But later a believed it was from the universe.
Finally he began to believe that it was present throughout all space, intermolecular space as well as terrestrial and celestial space. He did not necessarily understand how his detectors operated, only that if he very carefully built the device according to his calculations, it worked. He was able to demonstrate the existence of an energy that today, though it has not been identified or proven, has been theorized by many researchers.
Henry was not a physicist; he was by training and experience an electrical engineer. The disciplines of the rest of the scientific world meant little to him, which gave rise to some of the difficulty that developed in communication between him and the scientists of his day.
Many attempts have been made to harness the forces of nature to directly produce usable electrical power, and many have failed. Dr. Moray attempted to do it and succeeded, producing at first only a spark, which he developed to a few watts, and finally thousands of watts of power .
As early as 1904, Nicola Tesla, experimenting with A. C. currents of high potential and high frequency, said, “Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point in the universe… Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic? If static, our hopes are in vain; if kinetic – and this we know it is for certain – then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature.”
Radiant Energy was first presented years before the world was ready to accept it in principle or understand its magnitude. History has again shown the unwillingness of men to accept and adapt to drastic change or new ideas. Henry Moray realized the magnitude of his discovery and felt the burden of responsibility for what could well be the future of mankind. His sincere desire was to place his knowledge where it could do the most good for all, instead of in the hands of a few who were selfish for power and wealth:
As one example of his selflessness, on July 24, 1925, while conferring with Senator Reed Smoot (at the Senator’s invitation) in his Salt Lake City office in the Hotel Utah, Henry Moray offered his Radiant Energy discovery to the United States Government gratis. Although it now sounds unbelievable in this day of the serious energy crunch, the senator thanked Moray but stated that the U.S. Government would decline such an offer on the grounds that the government was not competing with public utilities.
Because of conflicting interests some people refused to become involved. Others deliberately interfered with the development of Radiant Energy. The many offers Moray received for Radiant Energy had to be carefully considered for intent and chances for successful development.
In the early years of its development, the Radiant Energy device was minutely examined during many tests and demonstrations. Some people came to view this device with no other purpose in mind than to prove it a fraud. But no one was ever able to find any evidence of fraud, and all admitted that it was beyond their comprehension.
Through these “demonstrations” Dr. Moray increased his knowledge of the device, and in performing experiments he widened his discoveries, thus improving the device and making it more efficient. On several occasions during these experiments, Henry failed to keep the device working. R. L. Judd’s letter, which refers to the experiments for Dr. Harvey Fletcher, states that the device even burned out the detector and Henry had to discontinue his experiments for a time.
The following is a booklet printed about 1932, entitled “Brief History of Moray Radiant Device.”
Brief History of Moray Radiant Device
I STARTED my experiments with the taking of electricity from the ground as I termed it, during the summer of 1909. By the fall of 1910 I had sufficient power to operate small electrical devices and made a demonstration of my ideas to two friends, Lawrence and Parnell Hinckley. These demonstrations consisted of operating a miniature arc light. In the early stages of my experimenting I had the idea of using what I termed static based upon the experiments of Benjamin Franklin in his kite but as advancements were made it soon became evident that the energy that I sought was not static and that the static of the universe would be of no assistance to me in obtaining the power that I was seeking.
In spite of the accepted ideas of scientists of the day which all seemed to point to the impossibility of what I was trying to do there was never a time when in my mind, anything but ultimate success was assured. Even when only enough energy was obtained to make a slight click in a telephone receiver I did not doubt the soundness of the ideas upon which I was working. It was during the Christmas holidays of 1911 that I began’ to fully realize the fact that the energy I was working with was not of a static nature but of a oscillating nature and that the energy was not coming out of he earth but that it rather. was coming to the earth from some outside source: That these electrical oscillations in the form of waves were not simple oscillations but surgings like the waves of the sea coming to the earth continuously, more in the day time than at night but always coming in vibrations from the reservoir of colossal energy out there in space. About this time I was able to obtain enough power to light the old type 16 candle power carbon lamp to about one-half capacity and as far as any outward advancement I did not seem to make any until the spring of 1925. There were periods during the years of 1916 to 1921 that I was unable to spend any time upon experimenting owing to the fact of contracts I was under in employment.
In June, 1925, I made certain advancements in my device that made it possible to obtain sufficient current to light a standard type C 100 watt G. E. lamp and made a demonstration of my device to a gentleman y the name of R. L. Shoup and his wife. Some days later to a man by the name of Massey arid later to Mr. Massey and a Mr. Brown, who was at that time connected with the Roberts Hotel, of Salt Lake City, Utah. On August 6. 1925, R. L. Judd came down to my home and I let him see my whole device in operation. The largest instrument being about six inches high and circular in shape and about eight inches in diameter. He seemed very much impressed. In October of 1925, Mr. Judd again called at my home upon his return from a trip to New York. We went out on the roof of the chicken coop carrying the device on a small drafting board, erected an antenna upon the roof of the coop, the antenna being about 100 feet from the house. We pulled the main line switches in the house before going out upon the roof. Mr. Judd had me move the drafting board around from place to place and I also had him examine the inside of the coop for hidden equipment. I then put the machine together in his presence and the device was then started. Mr. Judd timed me to see how long it would take to bring in the light. I was able to light the 100 watt type C G. E. lamp to full capacity and also heat to the sizzling point an old styled Hotpoint electric flat iron which consumed 655 watts. Mr. Judd asked me to take off the antenna. The light went out. It was connected again and the light appeared. The same result when the ground was disconnected and reconnected. We drove a new ground at a spot selected by Mr. Judd, made a connection over to the new ground and the light burned dim but came brighter and brighter as the new ground was driven deeper and deeper.
Mr. Judd stayed about two and one-half hours all of which time we had the machine in continuous operation. He wanted to know how long the device would continue to operate. I told him that if he wished to stay and watch all night I would try to make him as comfortable as I could, if he cared to turn night watchman. He said his one great desire would be to have Dr. Harvey Fletcher, of the Western Electric and Bell Laboratories see my device.
After Mr. Judd left I moved the device into the house and kept it in operation all that night and the next day. In fact continuously for three days and three nights and the energy received was as strong at the end of the three days as in the beginning:
In the morning of October 22, 1925, I called upon the General Electric in the Continental Bank Building, at Salt Lake City, Utah, and was introduced to a gentleman by the name of Ship. I stated what I was doing in my experimental work and after some conversation it was arranged that I would show the device to him and to a gentleman by the name of Mr. Dee, that afternoon.
I went home and put the device together. Mr. Ship came to my home with Mr. Dee and I put the machine back of a curtain as I had done in previous demonstrations. After the demonstration I put certain pieces of apparatus in my pocket and then let them examine the rest of the machine as much as they desired. Apparently they could find no fault with what they saw.
The same kind of a demonstration was given to one or two representatives of the Deseret News in August of 1925. They likewise could find no fault with what they saw.
On October 24, 1925, Mr. Judd brought Messrs. Heber J. Grant and A W. Ivins down and I put the machine together before them on the coop, getting off the wet ground as demonstrating on the ground is very dangerous. After going. through the same kind of a demonstration as I. had given to Mr. Judd the last time of the light and the flat iron, Mr Judd asked me to disconnect the ground. The light went out. It did the same when the antenna wire was disconnected, coming back when the connection was again made. We then drove a new ground as described above with the same results.
Whenever the ground or antenna is left disconnected too long the device becomes electrically dead and must be re-tuned in order to obtain the energy.
On October 28, 1925, 1 again called on the General Electric and invited Dr. H. T. Plumb, Mr. Ship and Mr. Wheatlake, of that company, to see a demonstration. At the appointed time Messrs. Ship and Wheatlake came to my home and explained that Dr. Plumb had at the last minute found out he could not come to see the demonstration. These demonstrations have all been given at my home, 2484 South Fifth East. Salt Lake City. This time I brought out a small round table on which I carried my device and moved it around to show there were no hidden wires. I then covered the machine to hide the hookup. The machine was started and I lighted a 100 watt lamp and heated the 665 watt flat iron. Removed the ground and antenna wires as described in the other demonstrations with the same result. Mr. Ship and Mr. Wheatlake felt the current after it had been reduced in my transformers and said that it was not direct current and it felt like the current was high frequency. All at once when Mr. Shipp and Mr. Wheatlake were standing by the machine a surge of current came in and caused the electricity to leap across an air gap that we all decided was at least 10,000 volts. The machine acted rather funny and I wished the surge had not taken place as I was afraid that something inside the device had been injured by the surge and that the machine might break down under such heavy voltage on the low voltage side.
By November of 1925, I had given so many demonstrations that I began to lose count of them.
One day Mr. Judd brought Dr. Carl Eyring from the Brigham Young University. I understand Dr. Fletcher had told Mr. Judd that if Dr. Eyring had a chance to see the device that”it would be as good as if he, Dr. Fletcher, were to see it himself. Dr. Eyring found no fault with the demonstration and the worst that he could say about it was that it might be induction, but that if I would take the device out in the mountains away from all power lines, a distance of three or four miles, and it would then operate he would then acknowledge that it could not be induction and that his theory ‘was wrong and mine right.
To satisfy the induction theory such a test was made on December 21, 1925, the original account of which has been acknowledged and signed by Mr. Judd, and is as follows:
Dec. 21, 1925:
Today Atty. Judd, O. W. Adams and Atty. Nebeker called at my home in Atty. Nebeker”s automobile. When my “Radiant Energy” device was packed in the auto we drove away. The three above mentioned gentlemen then began to discuss where we should go to make the demonstration. I said I did not want to have any say in where we went as I wanted the demonstration made at a place selected by them not me or by my having anything to say about the location. At last they decided to go up Emigration Canyon, as there are no power lines in that canyon. After driving about four miles up the canyon, they selected a place but changed their minds and selected another place a few hundred feet further up the canyon.
Atty. Judd stayed in the car because of an injured foot while Atty. Nebeker and Mr. Adams put up the antenna and ground. I then took the device out of the car and connected it up with the antenna and the ground. The switch on the device was closed and as in former demonstrations time and time again no light appeared. I then tuned it as in all the former demonstrations that Mr. Judd had seen an then when the switch on the device was closed the light came on. The antenna wire was momentarily disconnected, the light went out but came back when the antenna was again connected to the device. The same happened when the ground wire was disconnected and again connected in the same way as described above. (All this with Atty. Judd hopping around on one foot, he having gotten out of the car when I began tuning the device.) All three gentlemen were very well satisfied and pleased with what they saw. It was dusk when we left the canyon.
I have read the foregoing and the same is correct so far as I remember.

On December 23 1925. I burned out the machine.
In February, 1926, Attorney R. L. Judd came down with Dr. Eyring, and an account of what took place that day has been acknowledged and signed by Mr. Judd, and is as follows:
February, 1926:
Since the demonstration was made up Emigration Canyon, the device burned up. Atty. R. L. Judd came down with Dr. Eyring al 9 a. m. and we spent all morning going over the theory and hook-up and examining the burned device and the Doctor asked question continually. He also wrote some notes trying to form a basis for applying for a patent. He made several drawings and sketches in going over t e details of the theory on which the device is based. Mr. Judd and Dr. Eyring went uptown at 12 o’clock returning at about 1:30 p. m. After spending all that afternoon with me Dr. Eyring congratulated me on what he termed “my wonderful work” and said what he had heard and seen was mechanically, electrically and scientifically sound and correct. Atty. Judd and the Doctor left in the late afternoon. The next day I called on Atty. Judd at his office in the Kearns Bldg., and he was very much pleased at the stand Dr. Eyring had taken. Atty. Bagley (member of the firm) seemed pleased when Atty. Judd told him what Dr. Eyring had said after having spent the day at my home. My wife was also very much pleased at what she heard Dr. Eyring say.
I have read the foregoing and the same is correct so far as I remember.

On May 25 1926, I had a new and larger machine built exactly like the smaller one only larger and demonstrated in the usual way to Attorney Judd. We put the device together, he and I. (Judd saw every detail, every part of the machine even to the detector and while he is no electrical man and could not make such a machine he would know batteries if he saw them or be able to see there are no hidden wires which the other demonstrations have proven anyway, especially the one up the mountains.) Mr. Judd and I put up the antenna together and ran the ground. This machine brings in the light quicker than the old one.
May 27, 1926, I again demonstrated the device to Mr. Judd, Mr. Nebeker, Mr. Adams, Mr. E. G. Jensen and Mr. J. W. Knight, going through the same tests of antenna, ground and switch. I have made every test that any man can think of or suggest. Described the theory and made drawings in detail to their best Doctors of Science and not for one word or theory have they been able to find any fault.
In June I demonstrated the device to D. C. Green, C. W. Nibley, R. L. Judd, one of Mr. Judd’s brothers, I think his name was Jim Judd, Dr. David Ostler, E. G. Jensen, J. Wm. Knight, Mr. Adams, Mr. Nebeker, Mr. G. E. Ellison, David O. McKay, Dr. Harris, president of the B. Y. U. and others.
In October we went out into the Strawberry Country which is far away from everything in the shape of houses, power wires or telephone wires. This was on October 29, 1926. With me was Mr. R. L. Judd, Mr. E. G. Jensen and Mr. J. Wm. Knight, and I gave them a very splendid demonstration, and on November 18, 1926, I received a copy of the account of this demonstration, written by Mr. E. G. Jensen, copy of which follows:
Salt Lake City, Utah.
November 17, 1926.
Mr. A. C. Cooley,
Salt Lake City, Utah.
Dear Mr. Cooley:
This letter is being written you for your information and in order to make a record of the electrical demonstration made October 29th, 1926, by Inventor T. H. Moray for J. Wm. Knight, 12. L. Judd and myself.
As arranged on October 27th, 1926, 1 met Messrs. Moray and Judd at Mr. Moray’s residence, 2484 South 5th East Street, Salt Lake City, Utah, about 8:10 a. m. October 29th, 1926. We loaded the electrical equipment into my car and left Mr. Judd’s car in the Moray lot, as there were only three of us to make the trip from Salt Lake. We had planned taking A. W. Ivins, C. W. Nibley, D. O. McKay and James E. Ellison, but none of these gentlemen could go.
We arrived at Orem, on Provo Bench, about 9:00 a. m. and just a few minutes before Mr. J. Wm. Knight arrived from Provo. After transferring the electrical equipment, lunch and rubber chair mat into Mr. Knight’s car we started for a location to demonstrate, roughtly in the vicinity of Strawberry Lake, the object being to get far enough away from all power lines to demonstrate that the current used was not induction from power lines.
I remember that the speedometer registered 19 miles at Charleston and 26 miles as we left the last electric line near the mouth of Daniels Canyon; also that the speedometer registered 52 miles where we stopped to demonstrate, making the distance 26 miles from the nearest power line.
As we neared the summit the sun showed through the clouds at times and as we proceeded down Strawberry Valley the weather conditions improved so that Mr. Moray readily consented to make a demonstration at any place we might select. His only concern seemed to be that he did not like to demonstrate in a storm on account of the danger involved.
Mr. Moray requested that we select a place near a stream of water so that the ground pipe could be sunk in its bed and be more effective. We stopped at a place about 10 miles southeast of the Daniels-Strawberry summit and about 200 yards west of the main road to Duchesne, this location being almost due east from what Mr. Knight called Haystack Mountain and perhaps 3/4 of a mile east of the Strawberry Lake on a little stream which made a zig-zag course through a gently sloping, grassy flat to the lake.
The antenna wire was put up without any aid or instructions whatever from Mr. Moray except that he suggested that the wire be stretched tighter to prevent so much sag at the center. This was done and the were then appeared to clear the ground by about 7 or 8 feet at its lowest point.
The ground pipe was of 1/2-inch water pipe consisting of two sections. The lower section was pointed at the end to make its driving into the creek bed easy. It was about 6 feet long and after being driven down about 5 feet the second section which was about 4 feet long, was screwed on with a Stillson wrench and the pipe further driven down until it struck a hard object and began bending near the top. I judge about 7 feet of pipe was in the ground.
The antenna wire was insulated from the poles with two glass insulators about 6 inches long and having holes in both ends. A piece of wire about 2-feet long connected each insulator with the pole. The lead-in wire was fastened to the antenna wire at a point about 10 or 15 feet from the east pole. I helped Mr. Moray solder the connection where the lead-in wire fastened on to the antenna wire and also helped him solder the ground wire to the pipe. I stepped the distance between the two antenna poles and estimated it to be 87 feet as I took 29 steps intended to be 3 feet each.
Mr. Moray’s equipment, aside from the antenna and ground wires, consisted of a brown box about the size of a butter box, another unpainted box slightly smaller, a fibre board box about 6″ x 4″ x 4″, which Mr. Moray referred to as containing the tubes, and a metal baseboard about 14″ x 4″ x 1″ containing what appeared to me to be a magnet at one end, a switch near the middle and a receptacle for an electric light globe at the other end. There were also several posts for connecting wires on the baseboard.
Mr. Moray took this electrical equipment out of the automobile and placed it on the running board of the car. Two dry boards, which Mr. Knight brought, were laid on the ground and a rubber mat used under my office chair was placed on the boards for Mr. Moray to stand on as a precaution against electric shocks. The running board was hardly large enough for the equipment so we took the seat cushion out of the front seat and placed it on the mat and Mr. Moray transferred the equipment to the seat cushion and connected it up there.
Very light snowflakes fell occasionally and a tarpaulin was hung over the top of the auto doors, when opened, to protect the equipment from getting wet. When all of the wire connections were made and everything in readiness Mr. Moray began tuning in. It was just 1:05 p. m. by my watch. Before tuning in he placed the key on the post he said it would be in contact with while the light burns but no light appeared. The tuning in consisted of stroking the end of a magnet across two metal projections protruding from which I referred to above as being a magnet. After tuning in for slightly more than 10 minutes the key was put on the operating post and the light appeared immediately, was slightly after 1:15 p. m. by my watch. Mr. Moray put the key on the operating post two or three times before during the tuning in operation but no light appeared. We allowed the light to burn for 15 minutes, or until 1:30 p. m. The brilliancy of the light, a 100-watt globe furnished by Mr. Knight, was about 75% as bright as a 100-watt globe connected to an ordinary house socket in my opinion. It was an even light, without fluctuations of any kind.
While the light was burning Mr. Moray disconnected the Antenna lead-in wire from the apparatus and the light went out. He connected it again and the light appeared. He also disconnected the ground wire and the light went out. He then connected it and the light appeared again.
Mr. Moray seemed confident that he would be able to obtain a light and went about his work in an unhesitating skillful manner. He said he knew he could do the same thing in the middle of the Sahara Desert or in the deepest mine. When the demonstration was over we congratulated Mr. Moray and I felt confident that he had a real invention and that no hoax was being perpetrated.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) E. G. JENSEN.
In the spring of 1927, a gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr. H. F. Haffeneffer, Jr., one of his sons, and one of Mr. Haffeneffer’s engineers, together with Mr. Judd, Mr. Jensen, Mr. Knight and Dr. David Ostler witnessed a demonstration of my device. When all was over and the usual tests of taking off the antenna and ground and throwing the switches and the light had burned and the flat iron heated to their satisfaction for a long time, I asked them if they had seen enough. When they said yes, I opened all of the device and let them see everything except one small part that I was able to place my hand over and hide in my fist. This part I cut off and put it in my vest pocket. Everything else I let them examine to their heart’s content. “If that part is able to make such power itself its some device and worth selling. Such a battery would be worth while,” were some of the remarks passed.
On September 20, 1928, I gave Dr. Fletcher every opportunity of studying in detail the drawings, demonstrating the circuits involved and the theory upon which the mechanism is based and on Tuesday, September 25, I gave Dr. Fletcher a complete demonstration, report of which is made in a letter to Mr. H. F. Haffeneffer, Jr., by Mr. R. L. Judd, and is as follows:
September 27, 1928.
Dear Mr. Haffeneffer:
We have though just finished a most interesting demonstration that I am sure you will be pleased to hear about.
On Thursday a week ago Mr. Moray and Dr. Fletcher spent the afternoon in a detailed study of the drawings demonstrating the circuits involved and the theory upon which the mechanism is based. This was as requested by Dr. Fletcher. On Tuesday last Dr. Fletcher, myself and Mr. Jensen, another interested party, went down to Morays home. Dr. Fletcher was afforded the opportunity of studying the antenna, the ground and their respective connection with the machine. Moray then demonstrated that there was no life in any part of the machine, and explained to the Doctor what he was about to do. He then began his tuning in as you have seen him, and in six minutes from the time of his commencement had sufficient. power to light three one hundred watt lamps. Dr. Fletcher in observing the lamps stated that they were burning far above normal and that if they were to continue at that degree of radiancy they would soon burn out. While observing the lights various tests were made such as disconnecting the antenna and the ground. The lights were then screwed out quickly and a five hundred seventy-five watt flat iron attached. This was heated to the “sizzling” point in about five minutes. After making such observations as were necessary to this test, the wire was disconnected and the lights again put on. After the lights had been burning for some little time, for some reason, then unknown, they flickered a few minutes and then went out. The lights on the regular circuit in the house still going on. The globes were tested and found to be all right. A later examination of the parts of the machine showed that one part of the detector, that piece of mechanism which is not yet “fool” proof, had slipped down out of place and in affect had disconnected that particular circuit. This happening pleased Dr. Fletcher and was considered by him a valuable part of the experiment. After the lights had gone out the mechanism was dismantled part by part and the Doctor given a chance to see that the mechanism was one intricate whole with no other connection than with the antenna and the ground.
His conclusion was without further time or equipment with which to study the circuits, and the extent of them going through different parts of the machine, that the energy secured by the machine was what Dr. Moray contended for it or that Moray secured from his antenna and ground a force which set up in his tubes, the makeup of which were explained to the Doctor, some form of battery action which resulted in the electric current generated. He stated that if it were the latter however, the phenomenon was quite as remarkable as contended for by Moray, because in accomplishing what they did the tubes were far more powerful than anything known to science today.
His observation as to the possible weakness of the thing if it was some battery reaction in the tubes which was commenced and kept alive by some form of energy from the atmosphere, was that the tubes would soon burn out and that it would be necessary to do further work with the tubes to give them long life. I told him that the tubes built two years ago last June had done service up to the last month when Moray, through their leaking on account of what he says is his crude way of making them, had had to make new ones. His answer to that was that if it is battery action the tubes “night be used for sometime then left idle that they would rebuild themselves and thus go on serving as the tubes mentioned had done. He told us that an experiment that would be very helpful in determining what the energy was or the efficiency of the tubes would be to run the machine just as long as it would go, then determine what part quit first and if it were the tubes make observation as to what happened: I didn’t know just what Moray’s response to that suggestion would be, but yesterday he dropped in to say that he was very anxious to make the test as soon as possible, and asked that I assist him in figuring out the proper personnel of a committee, seal the machine u p in some way after it was lighted, and then make frequent observations as to its continued operation for the full period of time it would run. I expect to work out such arrangements as soon as possible.
From this demonstration it is established, I should say absolutely, that what we have is something entirely new and very wonderful and that there is no possibility for doubt on any phase of this proposition.
With kindest regards, I am
Yours respectfully,
(Signed) ROBERT L. JUDD.
The following is another report on a demonstration:
Salt Lake City, Utah,
September 26, 1928.
Mr. R. L. Anderberg,
Los Angeles, California.
Dear Reed:
This letter is being written for the double purpose of informing you of an electrical demonstration given by Dr. T. H. Moray to Dr. Harvey Fletcher, R. L. Judd and me and also for the purpose of making a record of same. The demonstration took place Tuesday. September 25, 1928, in Moray’s laboratory in the basement of his home and consisted of his lighting three ordinary electric light globes of 100-watt capacity each. He also heated a 575-watt flatiron. The lights were somewhat brighter than when placed in an ordinary lighting socket supplied by local utilities energy. It took about six to seven minutes to tune in and get the light, and after demonstrating for possible eight or ten minutes as above referred to the lights went out. This was due to the detector getting out of adjustment according to Dr. Moray. After the demonstration Mr. Moray took the covers off the boxes containing the equipment and disconnected the wires connecting the several pieces of equipment and allowed us to handle all of the equipment except the detector, which he let us see as he held it in his own hand but did not let us examine it closely or handle it.
After the demonstration, which was preceded by a conference between Dr. Fletcher and Dr. Moray sometime before in which the circuits and hookups were explained, Dr. Fletcher remarked that it was a wonderful demonstration and just about what he expected to see after having had it explained to him in the preliminary conversation.
The Doctor said there was nothing much to say about the apparatus, but that if it were turned over to him he would soon find out much about it that he did not then know. He said the energy came from one of two sources: either an external source, as claimed by the inventor, or possibly through harmonizing or synchronizing the various units comprising the equipment through his tuning in process in such a way that a chemical action resulted in the tubes sufficient to make the demonstration. In either event he agreed it would mean a wonderful discovery. The former source of supply was the one thought most probable according to Dr. Fletcher.
The test was the same as all others I have seen, including the one out on the Uintah Reservation near Strawberry Reservoir. The same tests were made of disconnecting the antenna and the ground wires and in each case the lights went out. When disconnecting these wires a bright spark of considerable length could be seen, which was referred to as a “brush spark” and Dr. Fletcher stated the power was “high frequency.”
The large antenna was used and the lights were brighter than 1 have ever seen them a former demonstrations. We were in the laboratory from one and one-half to two hours and the demonstration and conversation between Dr. Moray and Dr. Fletcher was very interesting.
Yours very truly,

Salt Lake City, Utah.
October 8, 1928.
Mr. R. L. Anderberg,
Los Angeles, California.
Dear Reed:
On September 26, 1928, 1 wrote you regarding a demonstration given by Dr. T. H. Moray to Dr. Harvey Fletcher of New York, P. L. Judd and the writer, of the equipment whereby Dr. Moray reduced cosmic energy to electrical energy for commercial purposes.
The letter made mention of a suggestion by Dr. Fletcher that an endurance test to determine how long a light will burn would be valuable information to have. Acting on this suggestion Dr. Moray has made such a test.
The test was started on October 1, 1928, and was conducted in Dr. Moray’s laboratory in the basement of his residence, 2484 South 5th East, this city. The equipment, which was the same as I have seen on several previous demonstrations, including the one made for Dr. Fletcher, was enclosed in two wooden boxes, which were in turn placed in a trunk having two holes bored in it to admit connecting ground and antenna wire to the equipment and two additional holes of about one-half and three-quarter inch diameter respectfully for ventillation and observation purposes.
Dr. Moray began tuning in at 7:49 a. m. and switched on the light at 7:59 a. m. Two globes were used, a master globe of 100-watts capacity and a pilot globe of 10 watts capacity; the purpose of the two lights being to insure continuous burning of one at least, even though the other should fail. The trunk was closed and sealed immediately after tuning in and in the presence of Dr. T. H. Moray Dr. Murray Hayes, Mr. IZ. L. Judd and the writer. Railroad seals of the foolproof automatic locking type were used in sealing the trunk. They were applied on three different places and an accurate record of their numbers and locations was kept by the writer. The trunk was the ordinary wooden construction reinforced with sheet iron.
It was agreed that the three of us, not including the inventor, should visit the laboratory as frequently as we could conveniently do so to see i f the lights were still burning and that the equipment had not been tampered with and to observe the brightness of lights and any other things pertinent to the test.

Dr. Moray telephoned about 11:00 a. m. October 9, 1926, that the light was out. He stated that large poplar trees were being topped near his laboratory and that in dropping to the ground the tops shook the ground sufficiently to throw the detector out of adjustment and stop the light. I was standing in front of Mr. Moray’s house when the top of one of the large trees fell and know that a tremendous vibration of the ground, which, which is somewhat boggy, took place.
Dr. Moray suggested that the three witnesses arrange a convenient time to meet and the laboratory, unseal the trunk, inspect the apparatus and decide on further procedure.
At 6:30 p. m., October 4, 1928, with Moray, Hayes and Jensen present, seals were inspected and found to be O. K. Seals were then broken, the trunk lid raised, and the cover to the top box unscrewed and taken off and the detector only taken out. Mr. Moray shook the detector gently and we all heard a rattling sound, which Mr. Moray pronounced as the part of the detector jarred out of position when the trees fell. Mr. Moray further stated that he thought he could adjust it quickly and started to do so immediately in the laboratory and in our presence. The detector was pronounced O. K. and ready for installation and further demonstration at 6:53 p. m. We left Dr. Hayes in the laboratory to watch the equipment while Moray arid 1 went upstairs to telephone to Mr. Judd who advised that he would come immediately to watch the tuning in and sealing of the trunk. Judd arrived at 7:35 p. m. and tuning in started immediately. The light was obtained at 7:44 p. m. Judd’s two sons were present also. The trunk was sealed again the same as before and an accurate record of seals taken.

It was decided late Sunday night that the test should be discontinued Monday morning, October 8th, and accordingly Messrs. Moray, Hayes, Judd and Jensen were at the Moray laboratory at 7:00 a. m. to conclude same. All seals were examined carefully and found to be O. K. The trunk lid was opened and Mr. Moray made a demonstration by heating a Hotpoint flatiron, No. N. P. 37-J, catalog 115, F 51, watts 575, volts 110, made by Edison Electrical Appliance Company, and at the same time as an additional load he lighted a 60-watt lamp.
Dr. Moray demonstrated further by taking the antenna wire of and allowing the light to go out at 7:18 a. m. and after a brief interval we tested it and found it to contain no electrical energy. Mr. Moray then tuned in and got the light again at 7:22 a. m. He then put on five 100 watt lamps, all of which were lighted brightly, then disconnected and lost the light at 7:24 a. m. After an interval of a minute he started tuning in again and got the light in one minutes time and again lighted the five 100-watt lamps. While these were burning, Dr. Moray jarred the workbench on which the apparatus stood by hitting it a moderate blow with a hammer. The lights flickered a time or two and then went out and it was impossible to bring them back by tuning in in the regular manner or otherwise, thus indicating that it was the jar of the falling trees that was solely responsible for the lights going out on October 4. During the period of the test Messrs. Hayes and Judd made inspections almost as frequently as I did. On several occasions Dr. Moray would disconnect the antenna wire momentarily, but not long enough to lose the light. In disconnecting and connecting the antenna wire a flash of electricity could always the connecting point. On one occasion Dr. Moray turned the regular lights on in the basement, then went upstairs and opened the mainline switch that cuts all house lights off. The lights in the trunk continued to burn while the others were out.
During the entire test the lights burned evenly and brightly without flickering and there was no change in the brilliancy noted from day to day. It was noted that the 100-watt, type “C,” globe bought new for the test, had a dark spot in the glass opposite the filament when it was taken off, indicating that it would not last much longer. Also a slight rattle could be heard in the globe when it was shaken lightly near one’s ear. The globe, however, was still good as it lighted when attached to a regular lighting circuit.
After these demonstrations the equipment was taken out of the trunk, the wires disconnected and the respective parts, with the exception of the detector, examined and handled by us.
Dr. Moray made one demonstration not mentioned above to the writer while he only was present. It consisted of lighting a 100-watt globe from connections with the antenna wire only. It was noted that while this light was burning the lights inside the trunk burned dimly and then assumed their usual brightness when the other lights was taken off.
The test was a wonderful demonstration. The inventor was frank and open in all things and had us inspect carefully and to our satisfaction that there were no hidden wires or fake connections and I feel positive there were none.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) E. G. JENSEN.

Salt Lake City, Utah,
October 10, 1928.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Below is a report of my observation of the Moray cosmic energy device. The aerial used is about two hundred feet long and is about eighty feet above the ground; the wire is a copper cable approximately a fourth inch in diameter, and well insulated. The ground is the water pipe in the basement of Dr. Moray’s home.
The device was assembled in a trunk through the sides of which were holes for the connections to ground and to the antenna and for observation; the said holes were about one-half inch in diameter. There were two boxes about ten by twenty by four inches, one on top of the other; both were closed and the covers fastened with screws. On the upper box was lying an insulating panel about an inch thick by fifteen inches long and three inches wide; it is of slate or hard rubber or some material of similar appearance. On this were two binding posts that were connectible by means of a small switch; also mounted on this panel is a body about two and one-half inches square, wrapped in friction tape, from which protrude two poles about one-fourth inch in diameter, apparently of soft iron. A double receptacle for light globes was connected in the circuit, in one of which was a twenty watt globe, and in the other a hundred watt globe.
E. G. Jensen, R. L. Judd, and 1 were present and examined the trunk to see if there were any connections other than to the antenna and the ground, but found none. The small switch above mentioned was thrown several times, but without results; the connections to ground and antenna were also removed, also without result.
Dr. Moray then took a magnet, which was a very broad, short limbed U, and began to stroke one pole of it on the poles in the taped body; Mr. Jensen placed his fingers on the binding posts several times, and at last received a rather vigorous shock; Mr. Moray then threw the switch and the globes lighted. When the switch was opened the lights went of, and came on again when the switch was closed. Removing either the ground or the antenna connection caused the lights to go out, but they came on again as soon as the connection was re-established. The time of excitation was ten minutes, and the lights came on at 7:59 a. m., October first.
The trunk was then closed and sealed with railroad car seals, and the numbers on the seals were recorded by Mr. Jensen. Each morning and night up to the morning of Oct. 4, l inspected the seals and observed that the lights were burning. About 10:30 on this date the detector was jarred out of adjustment by the falling of a heavy tree next to the house.
The evening of the same day Dr. Moray removed the detector in the presence of Mr. Jensen and me and in twenty minutes had it readjusted and reassembled ready to start. As soon as Mr. Judd arrived the stroking began and the lights came on in about ten minutes. The trunk was again sealed as before.
The device continued in operation until the morning of Oct. 8, and the trunk was opened in the presence of the three witnesses above mentioned after a run of eighty-four hours. The hundred watt lamp was removed and a standard 575-watt Hotpoint electric iron was plugged in its place; the iron was heated as quickly as though on the usual house circuit. During this test a sixty-watt globe was put in the place of the twenty, so that the total wattage was 635.
The antenna and ground connections were then removed until no current was delivered when the switch was closed, and five 100-watt globes were substituted for the iron, making a total power output of 560 watts. The lamps appeared to be as bright as when on the house circuit. It required four minutes of excitation to get it in operation again.
After again being disconnected until it ceased to operate it required but one minute of excitation to bring in the current.
While the test was in progress every test that could be thought of was applied to make sure that there were no hidden connections to the house circuit or to a battery; the house lights were turned on and then all main switches pulled, which turned off the house lights but did not in the least affect those in the test. After the run had terminated the trunk and table were examined for wires, but none were found except those of the antenna and to the ground.
As a further proof that the conversion of the energy was due to the mechanism in the box, Dr. Moray hit the table on which the trunk was standing, a moderate blow with a hammer whereupon the light flickered and went of, due to the detector being shaken out of adjustment.
The boxes in which the mechanism had been housed during the test were opened and the contents examined; there were condensers, the detector, a transformer, and two tubes in them but nothing else. Nothing that in the least resembled a battery.
It is to be noted that after a total run of 158 hours the device supplied 635 watts; inasmuch as a horsepower is but 746 watts this equals 0.878 of a horsepower or slightly more than 7/8 horsepower. This alone is sufficient to dispose of any suggestion of a battery.
In witness to the above I hereunto sign my name.

Dr. Harvey Fletcher.
Bell Telephone Laboratories,
463 West Street,
New York.
Dear Dr. Fletcher:
I received your letter orecent date and was pleased to learn that you had arrived home safely after having an enjoyable trip across the country. I thank you for your observation relative to Moray’s machine.
Moray seems to have been favorably impressed with his visit with you for the day after you were there he came up to my house, where I was working on a brief in order to not be disturbed as I am at the office, and said that he would like to follow out your suggestion of an endurance test. In order to carry out the suggestion at once we arranged on Saturday with Jensen and Dr. Murray O. Hayes to start the test on Monday morning. Accordingly Monday morning, October 1st, 1928, at 7:30 o’clock Dr. Hayes, Jensen and myself met at Moray’s house. We went to the basement where you saw the machine and found that Moray had set up his machine in a heavy tin covered trunk with a small hole in the top and another in one end through which the globes attached to the machine could be observed. The ground hook-up is on the inside of the trunk-the antenna hookup just outside the trunk. Moray, before starting to tune in, made all the tests. as to possible current in the machine. After completing the tests in the presence of the three men above named, he began his tuning-in which lasted about seven or eight minutes before he switched on the lights which consisted of one 100-watt and one 10-watt, this was at 7:59 o’clock Monday morning.
After the lights had burned for a short time Moray extinguished the lights by unhooking his ground connection, but reconnected the ground before his current was lost. He then performed the same test on the antenna connection. When these tests were completed the trunk was closed and locked, the key being delivered to Dr. Hayes who holds the same. The trunk was then sealed in three different places with standard freight car seals which all bear numbers. This trunk cannot possibly be opened without breaking these seals and after they are broken they cannot be reused.
After taking every precaution we could think of we left with the lights burning brightly.
I returned to make my next observation Monday evening at 6:10 o”clock as I was returning from a game of golf at Nibley Park. Moray had no notice of my coming and he stated that 1 was the first of the three men mentioned above to make an evening visit. 1 found all the equipment in the exact condition as we had left it in the morning and the lights burning brightly. The weather all day had been clear and pleasant.
Tuesday morning, October 2, 1928, I picked up Jensen and we drove down to Moray’s, arriving there about 8:30 o’clock. We found everything in status quo with the lights burning Brightly. Moray repeated a test he had shown me the night before of disconnecting the antenna hook-up thereby extinguishing the light and then reconnecting again and bringing on the light. We stayed on this visit about fifteen minutes.
Tuesday evening about 7:00 o’clock I drove down and made a careful observation of everything. I found it intact with the lights burning as usual. Moray shut of the basement lights and then later pulled the switch on the entire house but neither operation effected the lights in the trunk. In the morning it was fair but during the afternoon there had been some south wind so that by evening the sky was entirely clouded over with a little dampness in the air. Both Hayes and Jensen had preceded me on this visit.
Wednesday morning, October 3rd; 1928, I picked Jensen up as I had the morning before and we arrived at Moray’s about 8:40 o’clock. We made the usual observations and found everything intact with the lights burning as usual. Moray at this time disconnected the antenna hook-up several times and each time the light would go out and come on again when the reconnection was made. He at this time also repeated the tests of pulling the basement and house switches which put out the lights on each of those circuits but in no way affected the lights in question. The morning was very threatening although it was not storming.
In the evening I was unable to get down but talked with Moray who informed me that Hayes and Jensen had both made their visits and had found the lights burning brightly. The evening was rather stormy, it having rained during the afternoon: The temperature was rather cool.
Thursday morning, October 4th, 1928, I visited the machine about 8:15 o’clock and found everything in satisfactory condition. Moray was not at home so I made the examination alone. Shortly before noon of the same day Moray called up and said that the light was. out; that it occurred apparently at, the time his neighbor immediately to the north had felled a large poplar tree which had jarred the ground considerably. He stated further that it was certain the only trouble was in the detector and that if we would come down and unseal he trunk he would take that particular piece out and fix it and tune in again. He also called Dr. Hayes and Jensen who got down to his place about 7:00 p. m. Together they unsealed the trunk, watched him remove the detector only, reset it and then called me. I got down about 7:30 p. m. Moray shortly thereafter tuned in and at 7:44 had the lights burning again. After making several tests with the antenna, the ground and different lights, the trunk was again sealed and we left.
Friday, October 5th, 1928, I visited the light twice and found it intact.
Saturday October 6th, 1928, 1 visited the light about 1:30 p. m. with J. C. Martin of the Insul Electric and Gas Companies of Chicago, and E. A. Angley, their local manager here. We found the light going on as usual. The men present checked on the connections outside the trunk and talked to Moray about theories and developments.
Sunday morning 1 was down about 9:30 o’clock and found the light burning as usual. The weather during all these last four days was fair and rather warm considering the season of the year.
Monday morning 1 was at Moray’s at 6:50 o’clock. Dr. Hayes and Jensen arrived a little later. Moray stated that on account of his wife s (illness) he wished to end the test, but before doing so wished to make several tests showing the capacity of his machine. Accordingly after checking all seals to find they were intact, we broke them and let Moray into the machine. He put on an extension cord so that he could heat the flat iron (575W) and light a globe at the same time. This was done with the use of a 60-watt globe, making a total pull on the machine of 635 watts. He then attached four 100-watt globes which were lighted brilliantly. The antenna was then disconnected and the machine was allowed to die. Moray then tuned it in again in about four minutes. lt was allowed to die again and then tuned in again in about one and one-half minutes. After having been there for a considerable time and gone through with these various experiments, Moray to demonstrate the delicacy of the detector hit the bench the trunk was sitting on with a hammer, the light flickered about twice and then went out. The machine was then taken apart. and each part looked at as at the time of our demonstration with you.
I am enclosing you a copy of Jensen’s report of the test. With kindest personal regards, I am
Sincerely yours,

The following are a few comments received concerning this device:
June 5th, 1929.
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
It is now more than two years since I first became acquainted with Dr. T. H. Moray and the work he is carrying on, and in that time he has demonstrated inventive ability of an exceptional order.
Perhaps the most wonderful of his inventions is a device whereby he is able to draw electric power from an antenna. This energy is not derived by induction from power lines, as has been suggested by some, nor is it derived from radio stations, as has been demonstrated by taking the apparatus more than 26 miles from the nearest power line and over a hundred miles from the nearest radio station and showing that it operates just as well as anywhere else. This device was subjected to an endurance test in which it was operated continuously for a week, and at the end of that time a 100 watt lamp was lighted simultaneously with the heating of a 575 watt standard Hotpoint flat iron, making a total of 675 watts; it is very evident that no batteries could sustain such a drain as this.
He has also invented a very sensitive sound detector whereby it is possible to hear conversations carried on in an ordinary tone of voice at a distance of several blocks.
He has also worked out numerous radio hook-ups which eliminate many of the parts now considered necessary for good reception, yet there is no apparent diminution in quality or volume; in fact, there is a notable. elimination of interference from static when some of these are used.
He has devised a means by which he is able to measure with some degree of accuracy the energy evolved during mental activity; that is, he gets definite, variable deflections of the needle of a sensitive galvanometer which appeared to be related to the vigor of mental activity.
There are a great many other equally remarkable things that he has done, such as reducing old rubber from truck tires to the state of a viscous fluid which is readily vulcanizable without the addition of smoke sheet as is necessary with other processes; also a high frequency therapeutic device, and numerous other devices which show great ingenuity.

October 7, 1929.
Dear Dr. Kinsley:
Recalling the pleasant afternoon spent in the laboratory of the New York University with Mr. W. H. Boehm and yourself, Wednesday, September 25, 1929.
You asked some questions at that time that I could not answer on account of my lack of knowledge, both the science and the detail construction of the machine of Dr. Moray’s that we were talking about. There was one thing in particular that you asked about and that I know I did not make clear in my answer, and that was in regard to the set up of the six 100 watt lamps. You asked if they were set up in multiple or series, and this question was especially brought tip as we were referring to the very small wire; which is a No. 50, which I stated was used in connection with the operation of said lamps. Since my return to Salt Lake, I have gone over this matter and find that the six lamps are set up in parallel and the small wire is used as the current enters the tube prior to and connecting with the step-down transformer, this taking the terrific high voltage to the transformer. In other words, I am trying to say to you that this is a terrific high voltage, and we are using the word “terrific” because it has been demonstrated that this is an exceedingly high voltage because it will through an arc flash at least six inches and in excess.
Another thing that you asked me about was the measuring of the voltage or amperage, and I know I did not answer to your satisfaction. However, I must now state that “the frequency is so high that I have no instrument in my laboratory that is able to measure the amperage or the voltage at this high frequency.
We have, at Salt Lake City, a Dr. Murray Hays, Ph. D., who has in addition to being instructor in the University from which Dr. Harvey Fletcher was taken to Bell Laboratories, has qualified as a Patent Attorney, and has, on this account, done a considerable amount of research work and understands and realizes the importance of detail investigation for the presenting of an application for a patent. etc. Dr. Murray Hayes has examined most carefully and knows of the construction of Dr. Morey’s machine, knows the theory in detail, has practically prepared the papers for patent applications, and which are being held as per my conversation with you because it has been the desire to perfect one small item of the same, and Dr. Murray Hayes tells me positively that there is a new basic, there is a true basic and a presentation that has never been made by and other presentation that he has seen or heard of tip to this time. In fact, Dr. Murray Hayes has analyzed with me the presentation made by the Italian to take power from the atmosphere or Thermo Electric effect. He has also gone over the Nikola Tesla demonstrations, and I feel that he knows whereof he speaks and my reason or putting this part of the letter before you is an inquiry as to whether a presentation in detail by Dr. Murray Hayes would not be as valuable as presenting the whole detail again to such a person as Dr. Parnot.
There is one question that you asked, or at least I have in my mind the question having been considered in our conversation at your laboratory and that is, could the machine be increased in size and the results be increased in volume so that the requirements of such an undertaking would be fully or more heavily realized. I think the best answer to this question is that the first machine gave a result only by a noise to indicate that there was a power transmission being brought about; the second machine resulted in the lighting of a very small lamp; the third machine was used to make a demonstration of lamps equal to 100 watts; and the present machine. which has been completed recently, will carry six 100 watt lamps and to the point as described by the comments above in regard to Dr. Fletcher. Therefore, I have every reason to believe that with the proper facilities for construction that we could positively make these machines to any size that might be desired.
Yours truly,

Gentlemen:
Some little time has elapsed since my call on Dr. Poillon and interested interview with your Mr. H. B. Keppel, Jr., in your offices at New York City.
Mr. Moray moves very cautiously and consequently sometimes very slowly. He has had many inquiries and propositions made of and to him-and some of them have been of nature requiring he weigh carefully and study deeply the intent of the proposing parties.
Many of these presentations and offers come through the friends of the friend of the friend, and call for investigations, sometimes call for “Stops” – to “Look and Listen.” Many times we see, or we should say we feel we can see the the Italian hand” of a gigantic concern trying to “tie up”: and not develop this marvelous invention.
The reason for deciding that no more or promiscuous demonstrations are to be made should be obvious and, however, we may add that it is positive there could not have been secured the many and positive statements we herewith refer to in the detail presentation that we have prepared and enclose with this letter had not something great been accomplished and shown in the demonstrations thus far conducted.
In this letter I have used the word “marvelous” possibly two or more times – and, I do so because I have seen the demonstration and have seen the machine torn down – I know what it will do.
Yours truly,
(Signed) W. H. Lovesy.
Second P. S. Mr. Moray is much elated this morning, as yesterday in a demonstration be ore a Mr. Ellison, of Layton, Utah, he developed 2150 watt light and energy. This statement added at this time just to indicate the possibilities of increasing the size of the machine and the result accordingly.

The following is a telegram received by Dr. Murray O. Hayes:
Wash. 1930, Sept. 2, 9 p. m.
Murray O. Hayes:
REPLYING TO YOUR LETTER WE HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH FLETCHER WHO ADVISES HE SAW DEMONSTRATION BUT COULD NOT GET THE DISCLOSURE OF DETECTOR.
(Note the detector’s weight is less than 1 ounce.)
(Dr. Fletcher has seen and had explained to him every other part of the device including the tubes).
T. H.M.
This account has now in a hurried way taken us to October, 1930. During the period to October 1, 1931, the device has been shown to hundreds including engineers and doctors of Science representing some of the largest manufacturing concerns in America and all have had to admit that the demonstrations have been wonderful and impressive. No claim is made that all those for whom the demonstrations have been made will place their okey on the device but I claim that not one has been able to find any fault or show that there have been any ear marks of this being anything but what is claimed. There are so many demonstrations that have been given that I cannot begin to cover them all but would like to mention two before closing this history.
One made in October, 1929 to Mr. A. A. Yakovlev who represented the Russian Government. Theresa present at that demonstration besides the above gentleman, Dr. Murray O. Hayes, the inventor, and John Magdiel. Dr. Yakovlev was first given letters covering former demonstrations and full explanation of what a demonstration would be like. The device was opened for his inspection at the close of the demonstration and he was asked if he was fully satisfied before the demonstration was discontinued.
I would like to state that all demonstrations have been the same the only difference being the type of device demonstrated as advancement has been made.
The other demonstration I would like to mention is the one given in April, 1931, to Dr. K. Vern Knudson which was preceded by a conference between Dr. Knudson and the inventor in the presence of Dr. Murray O. Hayes and Attorney Preston D. Richards. I tried to place all the cards on the table without disclosing too much of the vital eight ounces and after the demonstration and same tests had been made as described in former accounts, I opened the device for Dr. Knudson and let him examine it all. He figured that the transformer’ would burn up with one-fourth of the current he had seen taken from the device if ordinary A. C. current had been used and I asked him if I had told or shown him anything that was not scientifically sound, and correct and if there was any way I could have faked the demonstration and I understood him to say that no one could have faked such a demonstration and that there were no ear marks of faking at all.
Dr. Hayes later had a long conversation with Dr.-Knudson in California at which time every phase of the demonstration was gone over in detail. and much of the device explained to Dr. Knudson.
I have been accused of going around with a chip on my shoulder. This is not the case but I want to get the idea over to everyone that I make no exceptions in my invitations. I invite everyone, anyone, anywhere, anytime to show one way in which such demonstrations as given above could be faked. Surely if no one can give one single explanation of how such demonstrations could be faked there are none. This thing is either all claimed for it or nothing. I fully realize some, yes, many. have a hard time to believe far more probable things than this but, gentlemen, you set your price of how much it is worth to you to furnish a sketch (simple or otherwise) of how these demonstrations could be other than all that is claimed and I will see that you are paid in full for the time spent.
This is no idle boast. This is a personal invitation to you individually, every man or woman in the world regardless of education or training and if you should not fully understand the accounts of the demonstrations I will attempt to make further explanations so that you will have ample information on which to make your drawings and explanations to expose these demonstrations.
I mean to make this invitation so clear that there will be no excuse for anyone to doubt any phase of this proposition and I make these statements without reservation of any kind. Not in any offensive way I hope as no offense is intended but because I feel I am entitled to this consideration because of the hours of time I have spent with you in going over the theory, demonstrating the device and doing everything I could to give you a chance to offer one objection or possible way these demonstrations can be other than genuine. I especially invite those whose names are mentioned in this account to accept this invitation. Special invitation is made Dr. Murray O. Hayes, Dr. K. Vern Knudson, Mr. Thomas J. Yates. Mr. Carlos N. Gaxiola, Dr. A. A. Yakavlev, Mr: Nathaniel Baldwin, Dr. Harvey Fletcher, Dr. Carl Eyring, and any others who will be kind enough to do me the favor to make drawings, sketches, or explanations of how these demonstrations could be fixed. I have selected eight men of science as a jury. The accounts of demonstrations as given are now in your hands. As attorney for the “Device” I now rest my case. Its fate rest with you. Can you find any way in which such demonstrations could be faked?
There is nothing personal in this request. I am now out of the picture, the demonstrations now stand by themselves, I no longer defend but leave them now to stand or fall on what those who have seen the demonstrations have had to say. The Witness testimony, if you please.

To those who may be interested in the Moray Radiant Energy System, l wish to state that I have seen the system demonstrated and that light and heat are produced in liberal quantity. So far as I am able to tell the apparatus does all that is claimed for it and I see no evidence of any fraud. The amount of apparatus used is too much limited to produce all this heat and light. The energy must come from some external source.
I examined most of the apparatus which was used consisting of condensers and coils of wire which could produce no energy themselves, but the detector (so called) a small instrument which completed the apparatus was not shown to me, neither was the principle of operation disclosed.
Most great inventions seem to be impossibilities until they are put into practical use and then they become common and seem more or less simple. I do not understand the principle of operation of this invention but I reason this way about it. Science proves that light waves, radiant heat, and radio waves are identical in character, the main differences being in the wave length and frequency. Light waves have a great range of frequency according to the color and in late years frequencies going far beyond those of light waves have been discovered and used. Heat waves have frequencies less than those of light. But what of those frequencies which are less than those of heat? We cannot say they do not exist. Our senses only respond to a few of the frequencies that have been found.
Radio waves have frequencies which are very low as compared with those of heat and light. Radio waves pass through substances which are opaque to light and heat but can be absorbed and used by the simple little crystal radio set. Radio waves are produced artificially but the sun which sends out light waves, heat waves, and a wide range of frequencies beyond the light waves may also send out powerful waves having frequencies below those of heat which may pass into the earth or trough the earth and produce no effect that we know of. Other heavenly bodies also, possibly invisible, may be sending forth untold energy into space in the form of waves. Mr. Moray may be harnessing some of these waves just as the crystal set absorbs the radio waves, and possibly with apparatus almost as simple.
In view of the wonderful scientific achievements of later years one needs to think many times before he says, “impossible.”
I do not believe that perpetual motion is possible in the way many have sought for it-by having a machine produce its own energy to keep it going but where energy exists it may be possible to transform it into useful forms.
I have invited inventors of perpetual motion machines to show me their plans and I would show them their mistakes, and I have done it; but this radiant energy system is different. There is a source to the energy.

At this point T. Henry Moray’s brief history was discontinued, and we are assuming that this was about the time of the publication of the pamphlet. Moray also had written on the manuscript:
“A very old account gotten out by promoters taken from the Moray record, not presented as Moray would have liked it, composed and edited too much like promotion.”
