Biography

Moray graduated from The Latter Day Saint's Business College, he studied electrical engineering through an international correspondence school course. He later received a PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Uppsala. At the turn of the century, Dr. Moray developed a reportedly inexhaustible environmental energy source (by means of radiant energy). Today -- known as a phenomana called Zero-Point Energy, or rather an energy that is drawn from the quantum-physical active vacuum space around us, and exists even at the temperature of absolute zero or 0 Kelvin. The purported theory is that; in essence the matter comprising the device orthogonally "recruits" energy from the very fabric of (apparently quantum) space that surrounds it. The term Latter Day Saint most commonly refers to (but is not limited to) members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which, its members believe, was founded under the direction of Jesus Christ by the prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. ...

In the 1920s, T. Henry Moray demonstrated a "radiant energy device" to many people who were unable to find a hidden power supply. 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 supposedly stimulating the existing oscillations of radiant energy from space the device supposedly 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 Felix Pridgt(sp?), whom apparently was angered that Moray would not sell his device to corporate interests.

In the 1930s Moray developed advanced semiconductors and transistors, but T. Henry 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. Moray, as Nikola Tesla before him, was unsuccessful in introducing his devices working on this principle. Some report that his secret was forgotten. Moray tried for several patents to no avail. Today T. Henry Moray's sons John and Richard have continued research to rediscover their father's inventions.

The Moray Valve

The Moray Valve was housed in the Moray Radiant Energy device, a device created by TH Moray, patent filed July 13, 1931. It consisted of a mixture of triboluminescent zinc, a semiconductor material, and a radioactive or fissile material formed in a rounded pellet inside a tube. It is said to have produced energy was by capturing zero point energy and converting it into electricity. The device was also said to be able to produce up to 50,000 watts for sustained periods of time in tests witnessed with signed statements by physicists, electrical engineers, and scientists. The actual nature and function of the device, however, is disputed.

History

The Moray Valve was produced as a result of experimenting by Thomas Henry Moray in the 1920s and 1930s. Upon its invention, Moray filed for a Patent, but the patent was refused. The U.S. Patent Office refused to grant Moray a patent because his device used a cold cathode in the tubes (contrary to scientific understanding of the day) and he failed to identify the source of the energy. Moray showed the device to electrical engineering professors, congressmen, dignitaries, and many guests. Reportedly, none were able to prove the device to be a hoax. This device has not be successfully reproduced since its destruction by an observer wielding a hammer in 1939. Thomas Henry Moray's son John Moray has been pursuing his father's technology in hopes of further development. The 1920s is a decade that is sometimes referred to as the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties, usually applied to America. ... The 1930s (years from 1930–1939) were described as an abrupt shift to more radical and conservative lifestyles, as countries were struggling to find a solution to the Great Depression, also known in Europe as the World Depression. ... Note: Principles are mostly the same for cold cathode ion sources as in particle accelerators to create electrons. ... 1939 (MCMXXXIX) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display full year calendar). ...


Energy Production

Components essential to the energy production were a special antenna, the valve itself, and some form of load. Antennas were made out of different types of highly conductive metals in a balanced and precise manner. The valve was essentially a specialized diode. When the machine was tuned to the resonance of zero point energy in the area, energy flowed through the antenna and to the valve. Instead of allowing this extremely high energy to disipate, the valve trapped the energy feeding the load. At that point matter in the vicinity was out of equilibrium with the zero point energy not returning, thereby an energy vacuum was created. In order to restore equilibrium, energy would flow toward the vacuum and in the process creating a greater capacity for the valve to "pump" electricity.

Moray (480 words)
Thomas Henry Moray did amazing research on a device that eventually produced over 50,000 watts of electricity during short periods of time.
Moray appears to have tried to encrypt his ideas and results in a very novel style of writing.
Since Moray has been deceased for many years, and the family has not come forward with any type of proprietary formula that is being used in anything of value, I cannot understand why this information has not surfaced.
The Tom Bearden Website (1982 words)
Henry Moray of Salt Lake City produced his first device to tap energy from the metafrequency oscillations of empty space itself.
However, John Moray's use of the term "cosmic ray" is not necessarily the same as that of modern physics, but in fact is the same as the present concept of "zero-point" energy of vacuum.
Moray explained that his device was based on the discovery of a mixture that would act as a one-way gate for the high frequency oscillations of space, so that the energy could go through the material more readily in one direction than another.
