Thomas Henry Moray
1892 - 1974
From time to time in the world men of vision receive
little or no recognition for their work, passing on to leave behind a legacy
for others to follow.
Such men as Slava (a Spanish physicist), who demonstrated
radio 150 years before Marconi; Gustav Le Bon, who predicted the Atomic Bomb in 1891, and Nikola
Tesla, (see link on main page) the father of our modern system of electricity;
found themselves isolated from the rest of the world because they would
not accept the dictates of big business and the outside pressure groups.
Such was Thomas Henry Moray
(or T. Henry Moray as he liked to be referred to as)
Thomas Henry Moray (August,
1892 - May, 1974) was an inventor from Salt Lake City, Utah. Moray graduated
from The Latter Day Saint's Business College. Moray studied electrical engineering
through an international correspondence school course. He received a electrical
engineering degree from the University of Uppsala. At the turn of the century,
Moray developed a reported inexhaustible environmental energy source (by
means of radiant energy).
In the 1920s, Thomas Henry Moray demonstrated a "radiant
energy device" to many people who were unable to find a hidden power
source. Moray called his device a solid state detector or the Moray Valve
consisting of a large antenna connected to a complex series of high voltage
capacitors, transformers, and semiconductors. By stimulating the existing
oscillations of radiant energy from space the device ran for several days
producing 50 kilowatts of power. The demonstrations attracted newspapers
and scientists from Bell Laboratories and from the Department of Agriculture
but none could attest to how the device actually operated nor could evidence
of fraud be found. The device was eventually destroyed by his assistant,
whom apparently was angered that Moray would not sell his device to corporate
interests.
(or there may have been more to this -
see what I have written below)
Moray was a follower of Nikola Tesla - As a youth he
greatly admired Tesla - and in particular was very interested in Teslas'
obsession with the earth having a limitless supply of energy available to
it from the universe. Like Tesla - Moray wanted to find out how to tap this
energy. Like a lot of people he became amazed at the "Crystal Radio"
where a crystal can be tapped with a fine wire to make a radio work - without
any battery or power. He figured that if this was possible it should be
possible to find a crystal (or "magnetic rock" ) that could be
tapped for a power source. He became very interested in the properties of
certain rocks and crystal structures and the powders from them - this is
what he made his so called Moray Valves out of - they were like radio valves
BUT WERE NOT USING A HEATED COIL like radio valves - they were all cold
with no external power to feed them. They were a mixture of semi-conducting
materials and intricate one-way conducting materials. The Moray Valve was
therefore a solid state device - unlike a radio valve that heated a plate
to produce energy.
These Valves are ONE reason why Patents were continually
refused - as he was told " there is no such thing as free energy"
"You must put energy in to get it out" As
the Patents were applied for, there were refusals due to the fact that the
Patent applied for "infringed other Patents". Even thought Moray
patiently wrote details of how this could not be, the Patent office refused
to allow any.
In the beginning Moray had to work out where the energy
he was using came from. He eliminated the Earth itself, and then realised
that it was coming from Space - But
that it was not a static energy - but one that came in waves - like waves
in the sea - more by day than by night - but still
coming into the earth all the time from what Moray called the "giant
reservoir of space"
Moray began his interest in this when he was 9 years
old ! (when we were playing with toys !)
The total energy involved in "cosmic" radiations
is very large. The mechanism of its generation involves a basic relationship
with the total structure and action of the universe. Today it is believed that cosmic radiation consists primarily of
protons and some heavier nuclei. Coming continuously
with slight variations in time, the radiations have a uniformly directional
isotropy.
The earth is, therefore, surrounded in an atmosphere
of radiation with cosmic rays coming continually to the earth from all directions,
although there may be a slight deflection of the weaker rays by the earth's
magnetic field. There is every indication
that our sun is not the source of any appreciable amount of this radiation.
The origin, therefore, is from the universe as a whole.
The total energy of cosmic radiation is more than the entire luminous output
of all the stars and nebulae of the universe combined. Unlimited power is
being delivered to everyone's doorstep.
"The Moray Radiant Energy discovery,
using radiations from the cosmos as its power source, gives the greatest
amount of energy per pound of equipment of any system known to man. Electrical
power through an electric motor or an electric jet far exceeds any form
of energy in any engine in the delivery of power. There is no dead centre
of lost motion in an electric motor nor loss of push in an electric jet.
Also, the starting torque is much higher in the electrically powered engine
than in the combustion engine."
(to quote T. Henry Moray's exact words)
Harnessing cosmic energy is the most practical method
yet discovered by man. Furthermore, it is possible to utilise this vast
source of energy from the universe without a prime mover at any point on
the earth --- on the ground, in the air, on the water, under the water,
or even underground. If one considers that an electrical generator is not
in the true sense a generator --- as electricity is not made by the generator
--- but is merely an electrical pump, the
Moray Radiant Energy device may then be referred to as a cosmic ray pump:
that is, a high speed electron oscillator serving as a detector of cosmic
radiations which causes a pumping action or surging within its circuitry.
In the 1930s Moray developed advanced semiconductors
and transistor devices.
Moray refused to sell his technology to corporate interests,
fearing its misuse. Moray reported that he and his family had been threatened
and shot at on several occasions and his lab ransacked to stop his research
and public demonstrations occurred outside his home.
Moray, as Nikola Tesla before him, was unsuccessful
in introducing his devices working on this principle. Some report that his
secret was forgotten. As mentioned above Moray tried for several patents
to no avail.
Radiant Energy is energy
that is transported by waves.
This includes energy transception
in the form of waves through space or various media. Radiant energy is also
energy transferred through electromagnetic waves. Solar Energy is a type
of radiant energy. Radiant energy is the sum total of all the energy that
comes to the earth from all the universe. The Earth also reflects back Radiant
energy into the universe. Our sun directs electrically charged particles
towards us. Radiant energy may be calculated by integrating radiant power
with respect to time. Radiant energy is usually expressed in joules..
..Nikola Tesla worked out of the conviction that, in
his own words, the "new power for the driving of the world's machinery
will be derived from the energy that operates the universe, the cosmic energy,
whose central source for the earth is the sun and which is everywhere present
in unlimited quantities."
Moray has used the term Radiant Energy
to describe that source of energy coming from the cosmos to earth and radiating
from the earth back to where it came. This is the energy the Moray device
captures and could be described as those particles of energy pervading all
space.
Dr. Moray resented the stories often told about him
that exaggerated the truth. He felt that people needed to know the truth,
whether they spoke for or against him. On occasion he confronted people
who were talking about him, telling of his work when he was aware they knew
nothing about it
