Deputy TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

I witnessed a demonstration of the Moray Radiant Energy machine, October 5, 1930. There were present Mr. Gaxiola, Mexican Consul General to the United States, J. R. Murdock, Mr. Buehner, Dr. M. O. Hayes, besides Dr. Moray and C. F. Schade and D. V. Farnsworth.

The essential parts of the machine were contained in two boxes, one directly on top of the other, each box about 14" wide and 4" by 24" long. On the top of the upper box was an electric switch on an insulating base. There was also attached to the upper box two soft iron poles wound with wire which in turn was covered with ordinary friction tape. Ten standard electric light globes, each of 100 watts, were connected to the interior of these boxes. A heavy copper wire led from one of the boxes to an outside aerial, a second similar wire connected the boxes with a water pipe going into the ground. Several members of the party took hold of both wires at the same time which showed there was no current in them before the demonstration began. Dr. Moray also put the terminals of the connections which led into the boxes in his mouth to prove that there was no current in the boxes.

After having . connected these terminals with the outside aerial and with the ground wire, Moray then took a small magnet and stroked the soft iron pole pieces above mentioned, the windings of which were connected to the interior of the boxes. He explained that the stroking was necessary to set the device into an "electrical oscillation," and that when it was "oscillating" in tune with what he called "radiant energy" it would continue so to do and bring in this energy in a usable form when the switch was closed. After this stroking had continued for a few seconds less than five minutes, Moray closed the switch and the lights came on very brilliant. The lights gave off very much more heat than the ordinary electric lights of similar voltage attached to the house circuits which with the added brilliance clearly: indicated that more than the usual voltage was going through these 100-watt lamps. This was clearly shown in another manner when the inventor took out one light and attached to this socket an ordinary Hotpoint electric flatiron of 575 watt capacity. There was no dimming of the nine remaining lights. The iron was heated with great rapidity and when in operation with the lights added was drawing from this machine 1475 watts of electrical energy. I am told that this is practically two horse power. After watching the demonstration for some thirty minutes, Moray disconnected the lead-in wire. The lights of course immediately went out and when connected they did not immediately return. Later on, both myself and Air. Gaxiola, the Mexican Consul tuned in the system as the inventor had done, closed the switch and brought in the full volume of lights.

In order to make sure that the lights connected with the house circuit were entirely separate from the lights produced through the radiant energy machine, repeated tests were made of disconnecting the house circuit in which event the house meter did not register at all. The iron was then connected with the house circuit which of course produced the ordinary reaction in the house meter. After the demonstration had been completed, the inventor raised the two boxes from the work bench on which they were located, showing that there was absolutely no connection by wires from below or from any place, save to the aerial and the ground wire.

At the conclusion of the demonstration, Moray dropped a stone weighing two or three pounds about two feet onto the work bench. The jar caused the light to flicker a moment and go out. Moray explained to us: "This was because the detector is not perfect, and one part slips when so heavily jarred, but this is all that remains to be done to make the device a practical commercial product. This simple demonstration itself seemed to show conclusively that the power derived was dependent wholly upon the machine and in no way upon the house circuit.

Before witnessing the demonstration I had read affidavits certifying to similar tests made in Emigration Canyon seven miles from a power line, and in Strawberry Valley, 26 miles from any power line, when the machine operated with the same degree of success that it did in Mr. Moray's laboratory.

The inventor explained that this astonishing exhibition when understood was a matter of ordinary physics and predicted that there could be developed from the energy all about us power and light and heat sufficient to take care of many times the present known needs of man.

LETTER FROM DR. POLLY

Baltimore, Md. November 8, 1936 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

On the occasion of a recent visit to Salt Lake City (Sept. 1936) I arranged, because of my own interest in various reports I had heard, to visit with Mr. T. H. Moray and discuss with him some of his experiments.

I was happy to find his laboratory well equipped with a number of costly electrical measuring instruments, and soon became convinced that he understood their uses.

His radiant energy device, as he calls it, seems to involve no mysterious circuit, altho the electrical valve upon which it depends is novel. The apparatus does not depend on any battery or other source of electricity than the antenna. In other words the power obtained is not derived thru the medium of a secondary power source — no feeble current is built up as in a radio set by vacuum tube amplifiers. However, no violation of the laws of thermodynamics is implied.

I saw no evidence that he was perpetrating a hoax and I gladly write this in appreciation for the time he spent with me. O. L. POLLY

Dec. 21, 1931 (3231 Broadway) Mr. T. H. Moray

2481 Smith Fifth East Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Sir:

l have received many days ago your pamphlets related to your wonderful invention which I personally inspectedd in your home last year in the company of Hon. Milton H. Welling, Secretary of State• there.

I am still interested in the future of this invention and its industrialization, arid would like to know if you will Blanked out, contains personal data.

Yours very sincerely, C. W. GAXIOLA

Mexican Consul General of the United States

Since the R. E. A. episode, Dr. Moray has turned his energies to discoveries in many other fields in order to obtain funds but always with the purpose of pushing R. E. to the fullest extent of his resources and time.

In 1905 began experiments with then so-called wireless and other electrical devices

1907 to the present time have experimented with alternating currents of High Potential and High Frequency and with rays beyond the light rays.

1922 discontinued commercial electrical engineering and turned wholly to scientific research.

1926 research was started with radiations from radioactive substances especially with high grade colnotite from southeastern Utah and Colorado, branching into the study of artificial radio activity and the artificial transformation of the nuclei of a number of elements and fission reactions. Research in the study of rays from 1.000 Angstroms to those of 10-5 Angstrom Units and beyond has been going on since 1939. This research has extended into the disintegration of the nuclei using our own special constructed tubes to cause bombardment by swift moving alpha particles and neutron bombardments to accomplish artificial transformations as stated above.

In this research we have found and AEC assay reports show "The sample appears to be fused uranium dioxide." The samples assayed as high as 85 per cent U3O8 equivalent. One material, the report stated, might be an artificial product.
