The Sea Of Energy

In Which The Earth Floats

by
T. Henry Moray

Foreword and Introduction

INTRODUCTION TO 4th EDITION

RADIANT ENERGY – the term Moray has used to describe that source of energy coming from the cosmos to the earth and radiating from the earth back from whence it came.

This is the energy the Moray device captures and could be described as those particles of energy pervading all space. In the evolution of energy and the evolution of matter these particles of matter and energy (one and the same) manifest under certain conditions as pure energy and under others as pure matter. Radiant Energy from the cosmos, like radiant particles of matter, being composed of an infinitesimal quantity whose behaviors are described by mathematical equations similar to those used for describing electrical waves, keeping in mind to differentiate between wave length and frequency. Radiant Energy is particles of energy, just as light is wavelengths and particles are comparable to the electron and magnetron: a ring of negative electricity traveling in a vortex with the speed of light, streams of energy quanta, each quantum having energy and momentum where the electron revolves around the proton at a distance equal to the electron radius.

To Summarize — Radiant Energy as herein used is that energy existing in the luminiferous medium of the universe, kinetic and exercised in wave transmission and rendered sensible by conversion of its energy into a detectable frequency.

IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS RADIANT ENERGY IS A MEANS OF USING THE ENERGY RELEASED BY THE FISSIONABLE REACTIONS TAKING PLACE IN THE STELLAR CRUCIBLES OF THE UNIVERSE.

INTRODUCTION TO THE 5th EDITION

At a recent Kiwanis meeting I heard a lecture given by the public relations officer of the Bell Telephone Company. The speaker illustrated his lecture with a historical film by Bell Laboratories justifying their position as a research organization and a leader in communications. It was interesting to note that although the film was essentially correct, the story told did not coincide in all particulars with what actually took place. For example, Bell gave Mr. Edison the credit for the electric light. He definitely deserves a great deal of credit. However, Edison only took a known principle of the day and produced a workable lamp globe by discovering through tedious trial and error the one thing, the tungsten filament, that would stand up under the crude vacuum systems then available to him. Naturally enough, the Bell film also gave Alexander Graham Bell great credit for the telephone. But it was really Joshius Coppersmit who first made a practical demonstration of a telephone. Likewise, the narrator in the film spoke of how Mr. Farnsworth had developed television. In fact, the first television demonstration was made by Francis Jenkins to Secretary of the Navy Wilber at the old Naval Radio Station in Washington, D.C., in June 1925.

Research organizations such as Bell Labs have succeeded in large part because they have been able to inform the world of their work and thus market it. On the other hand, many young men – Francis Jenkins, for example – have come and gone, disappearing into obscurity, making great discoveries but receiving no credit for them, unable to develop them fully. I think one of the greatest such discoveries was the invention of radio by the Spanish physicist, Slava. One hundred and fifty years before radio was generally known, Slava transmitted radio signals from an island off’ the coast of Spain back to the mainland.

Fifty years before the advent of the atomic bomb, Dr. Gustav LeBon published a book describing what a nuclear fission reaction would be like, estimating it would be equivalent to the energy released by “1,340,000 barrels of gun powder.” I am told that, years later, Albert Einstein wrote a letter to LeBon’s slaughter stating that Dr. LeBon, physician turned physicist, was truly the father of nuclear physics. Though generally unheralded, LeBon’s position as a nuclear pioneer can easily be verified simply by going to one of our better stocked public libraries and checking out his book, The Evolution of Matter.

At this point the reader may well ask what my concern is with such obscure individual research. The reader may also question my interest in scientific experiments whose results do not behave in accord with accepted scientific dogma. My answer is that I am a scientist and the son of a scientist, and I desire to see facts published as they really are. I also wish to present some unorthodox theories.

In the first edition of my father T. Henry Moray’s book, The Sea of Energy in Which the Earth Floats, the history of the Moray radiant energy device was secondary, contained only in one chapter near the end. I wish, however, to emphasize that the workability of this device was repeatedly demonstrated, and it was successfully reproduced many times by Dr. Moray. Consequently, in this extensive revision of my father’s book, I have introduced the subject of Radiant Energy with the history, leaving the theory to the last.

If, in repeating what my father felt and thought in the past, I should offend some innocent bystander or “well-meaning” individuals who did not intend offense to Dr. Moray, then all I can say is that the purposes of science sometimes are inadvertently obstructed by well-meaning individuals, and I will be the first to apologize if someone will point out my error. The historical information is as I have received the notes and as I remember it, living with my father some 45 years.

In this book I have gone into the historical background to try to interpret Dr. Moray’s feelings. In writing his history I have taken the liberty to give some of my own opinions since I lived through many of these events and they are encircled with emotion for me.

Dr. Moray’s work, unfinished as it is, can stand the strain of criticism. And, hopefully, its publication at this time will excite the interest and support it deserved originally. At times during the story’s unfolding it becomes impossible for me to eliminate entirely my father’s religious convictions. However, I wish to emphasize that at no time did he allow religion to become involved in his work, lest any man should say that he used religion for his own aggrandizement, and therefore imply that he should be found lacking before the Lord in whom he so fervently believed.

Although he was frequently misunderstood, at all times he exhibited rectitude. Only once did I see him “lose his cool,” and that was when asked to comment on the “dirty tricks” department of life.

The story of Dr. T. Henry Moray is the story of a man working alone, whose discoveries and theories were years, even decades, ahead of his time. His many pamphlets and writings advanced ideas with which science is only now coming more and more into agreement. His active mind delved into many fields of science and always came up with new and startling discoveries.

Time and space do not allow a full discussion of the various Moray devices, since the primary subject of this book is a presentation of Radiant Energy (RE). A very complete and detailed record of letters; articles, and pamphlets are on file in the records of The House of Moray in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Dr. Moray and Radiant Energy are so closely related that one cannot be separated from the other. It is not the purpose of this history to give a complete picture of Radiant Energy. But a discussion of it is necessary since all of the other work with which Dr. Moray was involved seems to be received on the basis of how the party or parties involved feel about Radiant Energy. Since 1926 he paralleled his work on Radiant Energy with study in a number of other fields, the most important among them being his intensive studies of radiation and radioactive substances.

Through the years, Dr. Moray’s chief wish was to be free of bothersome business details so that he could concentrate on research. Yet every time he turned business details over to someone else, chaos resulted. One of his chief difficulties was to find the unusual person who combined the talents of a good business manager with a knowledge of science and who was dedicated, truth worthy, unselfish, and tough enough to withstand the rough road which had to be traveled. The qualities of truth worthiness and toughness seem to have been lacking most often. One must admit that Dr. Moray did an outstanding job in keeping his private Utah corporation alive in the entity of Research Institute Incorporated. His personal business ability was above question. The only fault to be found (if one can call it a fault) is that he was too willing to forgive those with selfish interests who attempted to destroy his work.

Throughout history, progress has been slowed and at some points stopped by selfish interests. But in spite of all obstacles, mankind crawls slowly forward. Similarly, the work of T. Henry Moray has been slowed to a crawl; nonetheless, it painstakingly continues.

On his deathbed, my father said to me, “I only wanted to finish it! If only I had been given a chance. No one even went half-way with me.”

But our father taught my brother and me his dream. We are endeavoring to carry it out. An “impossible dream”? Perhaps, but we believe that we can make it come true – and that our world will be the better for it.

FOREWORD

When John Moray asked me to assist with the rewrite and editing of this new edition of The Sea of Energy in Which the Earth Floats, I was both delighted and deeply appreciative. For several years I have devoted a great amount of time in the research for the theory – even an ad hoc theory – that could possibly explain the profound achievement of John’s father, Dr. T. Henry Moray, in his discovery and development of free radiant energy. And I can assure the reader that only through such a diligent and unrelenting search for an explanation can the magnitude of T. Henry Moray’s accomplishment truly be appreciated, or the breadth of his vision be grasped. Even today, decades after Moray built his successful free energy device, the most advanced physics theory is not quite capable of encompassing his work, though it has approached it ever more closely as the years have passed. If comprehension were not formidably difficult, rediscovery of the device would have occurred over and over, and free energy would already be available to every household. Though Moray was a relatively simple man, nationally unknown, he was an engineer of excellent ability and strong character. He was a giant, an experimental genius who was far ahead of his own time.

The story of Dr. T. Henry Moray and his free energy device is incredible but true. There really are two stories involved. One is the story of a courageous and lone pioneer who attempted the impossible and succeeded, who wrested from nature one of her most zealously guarded secrets to produce a device which could literally have ushered in a golden age for all mankind. The second is the story of the greed, arrogance, hostility, and stony disbelief that greeted all his efforts to introduce his great invention into the service of mankind.

Make no mistake about it, Dr. Moray did what he claimed to have done. He achieved free energy. He also built the forerunner of the transistor long before such a device was dreamed of by Western scientists. If people had listened and his work had been recognized, there would be no energy crisis and no energy problem today. Everyone could have energy sufficient for his needs, and the vast amounts of unburned hydrocarbons that pour into our atmosphere today from the burning of fossil fuels would be reduced to a mere trickle. Cheap, portable, plentiful power would be available to every underdeveloped country in the world. This was T. Henry Moray’s dream – a dream that was thwarted through no fault of his own, in spite of his prodigious efforts to overcome the indifference and cynicism which continually faced him.

Moray demonstrated his device over and over – even allowing prominent scientists to visit his laboratory, disassemble his equipment and satisfy themselves that no trickery or fraud was involved, then run the experiment themselves to produce free energy. Yet, try as he would, he was unable to overcome the ignorance and bias which greeted him on every turn. The scientists of his day would not believe the demonstration even when they themselves conducted it, and the patent office would not grant him a patent.

I am particularly chagrined because, while our Western scientists were castigating Moray’s work at every turn and successfully suppressing it, more dictatorial societies were earnestly seeking to obtain Moray’s services and his invention. Imperial Japan sought to bring Moray to Japan and have him build a death ray – for Moray had shown that a beam of radiant energy of sufficient intensity could simply destroy every living thing in its path. The Soviet Union offered to give him his own fully equipped laboratory in Russia, with no expense spared, and to back his experiments fully. One man-who in my personal opinion was a trained Soviet agent – even succeeded in working his way into Moray’s confidence and gaining access to Moray’s laboratory as a technician and assistant. When Moray still refused to give his invention and services to the Soviet Union, the assistant destroyed the device, smashing it to pieces with a hammer.

Shortly thereafter Moray was assaulted and shot in his own laboratory. Except for his own skill with a pistol to successfully defend himself against his assailants, Moray would have been murdered. Repeated assassination attempts were made against his life; it was necessary for him to bulletproof his automobile since he was shot at while driving down the public street. Small wonder that Moray developed an extremely alert and suspicious nature, and visitors to his desk often noticed a fully loaded pistol lying on the desktop within easy reach of his hand! Sadly, T. Henry Moray died with his dream unrealized and the original device destroyed.

But the House of Moray lives on. John and Richard Moray have endeavored to continue their father’s work and to bring their father’s dream to the fruition it so richly deserves. Yet the same hostility and derision have greeted them at almost every turn. However, the Morays are made of stern stuff, and John and Richard have continued to the best of their ability and resources. I have found John a man of great courage, strong determination, complete sincerity, and down-to-earth wisdom. I consider it an honor to be his friend. I am also determined to contribute whatever I can to an understanding of the Moray radiant energy device and to the realization of T. Henry Moray’s dream.

In my opinion, time is of the essence in telling the true story of Dr. T. Henry Moray’s achievement. We see an economic noose being slowly drawn around the neck of the world by the oil-producing countries. They have the power to destroy civilization economically whenever they wish, simply by cutting off the oil flow. The raw impact of this power is already being felt in world diplomacy, and it is not at all exaggerated to say that the “big stick” the U.S. used to carry has shrunk considerably of late because of the problem of energy. Oil blackmail is already a potent force on the international scene, and if we are to avert economic disaster, we must find a cheap new source of bountiful energy quickly.

Today we can state unequivocally that such a source is present everywhere in the universe, free for the taking if we can become knowledgeable enough. At the present state of development of quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, and geometrodynamics, we know that each tiny portion of space – pure empty vacuum – contains almost infinite energy. According to Wheeler’s calculation, the available energy in one cubic centimeter of pure vacuum is greater than 10¹⁰⁰grams (expressed in mass units), an incredible packet of raw energy sufficient to provide for the formation of entire solar systems. Zero-point energy of the vacuum is essentially infinite and free for the taking, if we are clever enough to discover how to do it. Further, we know that this energy can be tapped because the lowly hydrogen atom already does it – the Lamb shift is in fact due to the “tapping” of a tiny bit of this vast storehouse of power. And that is precisely what Dr. T. Henry Moray did, long before zero-point energy as such was known, and long before Wheeler made his calculation.

It is only because of some of the most theoretically advanced concepts of today that some of the simple but profound concepts of Dr. T. Henry Moray can be. understood. Let us hope that with the advent of the new edition of this book, his dream of plentiful power for mankind can yet be realized.
