Nikola Tesla's "Black Magic" Touring Car

1930 Pierce Arrow Electric Vehicle

 

The fuel to power the world’s machinery and vehicles for thousands of years can be derived from electromagnetic wave conductors. We have known for 80+ years that electromagnetic coupling can be used to harness the freely available cosmic rays (electromagnetic radiation) and power the World. A simple antenna is an electromagnetic conductor which converts harnessed radio waves in free space to an electrical current. This electromagnetic conversion can power all our machinery, including our automobiles.

Supported by the Pierce-Arrow Co. and General Electric in 1931, Nikola Tesla, inventor of the AC generator, took the gasoline engine from a new Pierce-Arrow and replaced it with an 80-horsepower AC electric motor with no external power source.

Tesla reportedly bought 12 vacuum tubes, some wires and assorted resistors, and assembled them in a circuit box 24 inches long, 12 inches wide and 6 inches high, with a pair of 3-inch rods sticking out. Getting into the car with the circuit box in the front seat beside him, he pushed the rods in and announced, “We now have power”. Using no gasoline whatsoever Tesla proceeded to drive the car for a week and at speeds of up to 90 mph.

As the AC motor can only operate on AC (alternating current that is typically supplied in a home) electricity the single 12 volt car battery wasn’t the source of power as a car battery supplies only DC (direct current) electricity. So what was the source of power that powered the AC electric motor? Electromagnetic (EM) waves which Tesla declared is a free source of power that is “everywhere present in unlimited quantities”.

The 1931 Pierce Arrow demonstration proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that we don’t need any gasoline whatsoever to power our automobiles.

An electric powered automobile possesses many advantages that the noisy and polluting gasoline cars could not offer.

First and foremost is the absolute silence one experiences when riding in an electrically powered vehicle. There is not even a hint of noise. One simply turns a key and steps on the accelerator – the vehicle moves instantly! No cranking from the start, no pumping of the accelerator, no spark control to advance, no exhaust pipes, no leaking gas tanks, no clogged fuel pumps or lines, zero emissions and no tuneups. One simply turned the ignition switch to on!

Second, is a sense of power. If one wants to increase speed, you simply depress the accelerator further – there is never any hesitation. Releasing the accelerator causes the vehicle to slow down immediately – you are always in complete control.

Thirdly, the electric cars envisioned by Tesla were a lot lighter as there were no battery packs (only a single 12 volt battery was used to power the lights), no gas tank with heavy liquid gasoline or diesel, no exhaust system (no muffle, catalytic converter, or pipes) and no heavy combustion engine.

Lastly and most importantly the source of power for his vehicle is available for free. You would never have to recharge this vehicle. You would never have to pay 1¢ to any electrical company. Since the source of energy that powered Tesla’s electric car in 1931 was energy harvested from EM waves that is everywhere this type of electric car had unlimited range.

Tesla used an antenna to capture this free energy and he was able to drive for hours with no stopping whatsoever for a recharge. If he drove and ended up in the middle of nowhere he could stop and rest and continue on in a couple of hours or even days without ever having to worry about running out of power.

It is not difficult to understand why these vehicles were so very popular around the turn of the century. It is now obvious why the electric car was killed 80 years ago. The was no money to be made by the oil companies nor the electric companies. Even government couldn’t make money from this type of electric car. With gas powered cars the government could charge a tax on every gallon of gasoline or diesel. Freely available electromagnetic energy could not be metered and therefore taxed.

      I dont suppose there are any technical plans for this type of power source, collection and drive??

      Don’t think that’s a Pierce Arrow

    • Anonymous

      The car pictured is in fact a 1930 Pierce Arrow – just not the one Tesla modified! And, of course, no plans to harness the technology Tesla produced are currently in place in OUR society.

      So, the author apparently doesn’t know much about electricity or it’s generation. AC can be turned into DC using a converter and vice-versa. Batteries are charged all the time from AC circuits. My home, which is AC, is powered by solar panels, which produce only DC. Secondly, as an Electrical Engineer, I can tell you that Vacuum Tubes run off of DC, not AC. So, where did the power for the vacuum tubes in his device come from? Tesla was a genius in regards to the ideas of broadcast power, but this isn’t really “News”, rather I’d classify it as history.

    • Energy4Power

      Yes there are some unfortunate generalizations in this article… like the reference to AC power from batteries. I also might point out a few others… like indicating Tesla bought instead of brought 12 tubes… according to the accounts I’ve read, 3 tubes were bought, but the other 9 are suspected as being originals made by Tesla himself. Also the inference that the energy comes from radio waves is both misleading and not probable. Tesla referred to the energy as coming from “cosmic rays” which bombard the earth both night and day, and described them as neutron-like particles, not EM radiation like radio waves. Also the way the article ends sounds as though cars like Tesla’s were readily available around this time when in fact it was simply other electric cars which were available… all of which though, ran supported by large heavy batteries which provided only limited range.

      I loved reading this article and would like to see more like it. I don’t want to point out problems with it to disrespect the author but rather to head off arguments against this article before they start. While there is controversy around the Tesla car, extensive research supports the idea that it did exist and that it did in fact run without a bank of batteries. Tesla maintained extremely high levels of security on this invention though and so there are very few pieces of evidence to help reconstruct his work. For example, an argument stating you can’t get enough power from radio waves to power a vehicle like this, would be unfortunately off the target since Tesla’s car didn’t run on radio waves anyway. Yes an antenna was likely used, but not to collect radio waves.

      For more information on Tesla’s car or any other Tesla related information I’d urge readers to check out TeslaTech Inc.

      Let’s see now, this conspiracy theory is that the government, the power companies, and the oil companies have all conspired together to squash this invention and no one, whatsoever, has broken the silence on this invention to anyone in the world? Balderdash! The Japanese for one would be spitting out cars with this technology at the speed of light for export. They have no oil, they have to buy oil, they are dependent on the oil suppliers, this alone completely blows this article to smithereens.
      If you want to write a credible article on this potential technology then go right ahead and start at round one and go from there. To present it as a done deal is disingenuous at best. I like the idea of free energy but my trick knee tells me that we are not there yet. Maybe one day………

    • bigbobswinden

      If we get free energy for cars, road taxation by the mile using GPS will come with it. Governments are tax junkies, they will not allow us to get off the hook. bigbobswinden.

    • Norry

      Anothermouse, when did Japan become independent of the IMF the World bank and the global economy ?To say they would be “spitting out” cars with this technology is total ignorance of what is really going on .Now how many sleeps till santa comes?
      This article for all it’s foibles has started at round one.Forget your trick knee ,use your trick brain and read more about Tesla and his relationship with JPMorgan and Westinghouse, you will then be a little less uninformed and more able to comment.

    • stevengaylord

      Another brilliant inventor… Thomas Henry Moray developed a free energy device in 1929, only to have it destroyed by these same, and insane, people of greed.

      Listen up… there is a patent that details this device. Years later, by Tesla’s nephew Edwin Gray. There’s a whole story behind Gray and his history, inventions, startup car company and untimely death. But you need to know, Tesla’s device, one battery in car drives 9 standard RCA tubes in power supply for 3 phase oscilator, 3 standard tubes and one custom tube per phase, 3 phases all together. Custom made tubes by Tesla and repeated by Gray, one special tube for each of the 3 phases. Output of 3 phase device powers a standard 3 phase motor. Gray also invents 3 phase hV motor. But look up the power supply, which shows the one custom tube of a one phase device. Multiply X3 for 3 phase. The tube is where the magic happens. Every single other part of the patent is replaceable with standard off the shelf components. US Patent : 4,595,975

      Norry, The problem with my post was that I assumed that the readers did not have to have everything spelled out for them. I thought that they were up to speed on not only Tesla, but the world economy and economics. To simply address a couple of your problems with my post: Japan, used as an analogy. Could have been any country or even Government Motors if the technology were available. My trick knee was my attempt at humor which was sorely missed by you since we do not have free energy, it was an understatement. And lastly I am well aware of Tesla’s relationship with Westinghouse and JP Morgan. As far as I am concerned that has nothing whatsoever to do with it, the technology is not there, period, it was an article written for sensationalism, nothing more, nothing less. If you really believe that the technology exists you live in a world so full of conspiracy that I am surprised that you can even start up your computer without being afraid of something.

      Comments show understanding……. unfortunately just providing something free is not in agreement with capitalism. Before tech were the slaves who were so cheap that there was no need for tech.

      Reading history one is told that the Romans with their efficient roads were so stupid that they didn’t understand the use of padded horse collars to keep the horse from choking and carrying heavy loads. In keeping with the conspiracy theory I suggest that they knew and understood the cause of the horse choking and were OK with it as it gave immediate control of the horse’s momentum. Essential in battle.
      Why would they want just anyone who had two horses be able to transport wine, grain, etc when the elites (there were only 3 classes like the Greeks, the Senate (inherited and later appointed by themselves post and extremely limited) the Equestrians, the elite who raised the horses for the military, and the citizens who at first owned property then found like today the military (25 year sign on) was the only choice. Slaves farmed the elites land, revolutionaries (disgruntled slaves) were extinguished by the military.
      The elites had the resources to build the ships (silver mines owned by the elites) and the slaves/free but too poor to own anything were the manpower on the oars. If you command the only route that transports the essential food, would you allow competition?

      What is our intelligence for unless to limit births and hence the slaves to be utilized for profit?

      Our greatest achievement or accident, take your pick, is intelligence. If we are doomed to be just consumer slaves, then it is our greatest disability. Who has need of intelligence in a 99% slave civilization. Like now all you need is a mind susceptible to extreme patriotism and the ability to pull a trigger. Are we heading that way?

      E O Wilson replied when asked if insects will take over the world was that that question showed an gross misunderstanding of the environment: they already own it.

      The reason we no longer have slaves, serfs, indentured servants, etc. is not because of technology but because of capitalism. Out of capitalism was born technology which was a result of man being free to reap the rewards of his own efforts. Sadly we are headed back to serfdom by being slaves to the government dole. When man is free to earn as much as he can it enables all men to be more productive and happier. To tax one to give to another is a losing lesson. Nothing wrong with giving but it must be from the heart and not from the threat of a gun. Pure capitalism frees man, big government enslaves man.

      ALL THE ANSWERS…. The basic principal of the Aviso self charging electric car is Coil-Shorting circuitry of a rotating motor. Yes, Coil Shorting. Computer controlled of course, transistor switched coil shorting. Tesla had something different that Gray patented some years later. US Patent 4,595,975 as I mentioned above. The principal theory here is radiant energy generation and capture. Gray even added colapsing magnetic coil capture to his motors. But the principal of the Tesla/Gray custom tube’s is radiant enerty. Basicaly, a high voltage charge stored in a capacitor is dumped through a spark gap in a controlled fashion. Using the principals of negative entropy (endothermic) electrical reaction sparking, and resonant energy collection (first invented by Tesla in his wirless transmission of energy), the tube uses a small amount of electricity to generate a BIG scaler EM wave, which is resonantly captured and used to drive an inductive load, like an electric motor. In total, the system runs in over unity conditions, allowing much greater efficiencies. Gray reportedly drove his car for a week on a single 12 volt battery. There’s always road friction taking energy out of the system of course, so nothing lasts forever. Tesla reportedly drove his car for a week with his antenna capturing energy transmitted miles away from his WardenCliffe facility on Long Island. Aviso reportedly drives his car for several days before the battery goes dead too. Big Oil has been burying these technologies for over one hundred years now. So funny how I mention Gray in my post above and right away other people start talking nonsense immediatly afterward. (distraction from the truth) Oil is NOT needed. Only Information, and investment.

      Question for All the Answers: In today’s internet environment it is hard to keep a technology suppressed. If that statement is true the why would it be so hard to get investment for a technology like this? If it proved to be the answer I would think that billions would be available. There is a missing link somewhere.

    • stevengaylord

      There is no missing link there. It’s just like Saintsnick said: “Big Oil has been burying these technologies for over one hundred years now.” The technology is there but try and develop it to compete against the big energy corporations? You might find yourself dead if you persist in marketing such a product. They’ve murdered before and they’ll murder again… They have the resources to do this and get away with it. We should not be naive enough to ignore this fact.

      Tesla’s Free energy transmission tower on Long island was in the completed and testing stage. Lightning bolts were seen leaping out of the tower and illuminating the night sky from the newly forged “Transmission Tower Support Town” Radio City (Shoreham Long Island). Then J.P Morgan himself, who WAS Tesla’s funding source, pulled the plug on the system at the final stage when he realized he couldn’t put a meter on the free electricity it generated. Years later, Tesla, in concert with the Pierce Arrow car company, built the Pierce Arrow electric car power supply, but took the box and it’s radiant energy tubes with him every time he arrived for testing, and kept the power supply in complete secrecy, BECAUSE, he knew if left in the hands of the Corporate giants, the technology would be taken away and burried (for the second time). Tesla died alone and pennyless in New York City, yet YOU continue to use the electricity delivered to your home through the Tesla Electrical Transmission system STILL in use today, better known as the “Electric Grid”

      Big Oil wants to do one thing, Make More Money. As it is, they spend BILLIONS of dollars on technology for the better production of oil. New drilling techniques, new drilling machines, new oil rigs, new refineries and delivery systems. They have so much to loose if there was free energy available to the general public. Who would buy all that oil? NOBODY ! But more than any other loss, the millionair CEO’s would loose their million dollar pay checks. That’s not going to happen if they can help it. If they’re already spending billions on technology, whats another few million to purchace the patent rights from an inventor, and then NEVER produce the working invention? Twenty years later, when the patent expires, what investor is going to invest in a twenty year old technology? Twenty years puts serious doubts in the hands of those with money to invest. Besides, a patent buyout usually comes with a clause that says the inventor himself will NEVER persue the technology, even after the patent expires, or the money will have to be repaid.

      In some instances, the inventors are killed. Take the instance of Stanley Meyer, invented and Patented the automobile retrofit that allowed you car to Run On Water instead of gasoline. US Patent 4,936,961. Stanley had a dune buggy, he himself was driving down the road, running completely on Water !!! There’s video proof on You Tube. There was even military interest in his product as the DOD came to pay Stanley a visit to discuss terms. Stanley was unfortunatley Poisioned to death weeks later, before bringing the technology to market. Bury the man, Bury the technology. Although a Patent protects the invention, it does NOT provide all the technical details necessary to reproduce the invention, only enough details to protect the invention in a court of law. Inventors hide technology secrets so they can’t be easily coppied.

      But FYI…. ALL of these technologies are slowly coming around. Thanks to the advent of the invention of the internet, information is being shared at an exponential rate. These lost technologies are slowing being rebuilt and tested by independent inventors with little funding, all around the world. There are dicussion technology bulletin boards on the internet. There are videos on You-Tube. I’m seeing some amazing things out there, and it’s only a matter of time until someone open-sources a successful reproduction of these technologies.

      Why open source? The minute a developer of one of these technologies tries to make money from their work, they must patent, and this spells disaster to the technology. ONLY a true patriot toward humanity, will sacrifice any and all money they can make from the technology, in order to Get the technology out there. And the numbers of these inventors are so numerous, the freedom of these techologies is beginning to happen.

      ALCHEMIST 1956

      by Gaston Burridge
      from Fate Magazine, September 1956

      A salt Lake City man claims discovery of a new form of energy with which he performs metallurgical miracles.

      Legend, if not history, has it that the alchemists of old searched for two things; how to make gold from baser metals, especially lead, and how to produce an elixir of life.

      Some persons believe the alchemists were not searching for a new formula for making gold, but rather looking for information they believed was once known, then lost.

      Gold has intrigued the minds of men since history was first recorded. In several lands gold was called the “sun metal”. It was used in worship and to decorate holy places.

      Modern scientists are not adverse to the idea that gold and other metals can be transmuted from materials not containing gold as we recognize it.

      In fact, scientists already have transmuted gold! It is a terribly expensive process and the amount of gold is tiny, but it has been done. In addition, this man-made gold is radioactive and thus unstable. That is, it does not remain as made for very long. Rather, it changes into something else or just disappears.

      This brings us to Thomas Henry Moray, of Salt Lake City, Utah, who claims to have made gold which is stable and long lasting enough to be assayed by the ordinary methods used to determine the presence of gold. He says his process uses no cyclotron or other atom- smashing device.

      Not only does Moray say he has transmuted gold, but he writes me that he has produced, or perhaps “treated” is a better word, ordinary lead, “Pb”, in such a way that it will not melt under 2000 degrees Fahrenheit!

      Common lead melts at about 625 degrees Fahrenheit. Moray writes, “I mean 2000 degrees, not 2000 degrees Fahrenheit!.” So, there is no question of a misplaced zero here!

      Going into this matter of metallurgy still further, Moray says he has treated copper, “Cu”, so it does not melt under 3000 degrees F. Ordinarily copper melts at about 1980 degrees F.

      Moray also wrote me he has produced an alloy which will not melt under 12,000 degrees F.! This figure has been checked. He says, “Hundreds of persons have seen and tested these metals.”

      One ounce of lead treated by Moray’s process, and afterward assayed by the Boaz Mine Laboratory, Norris, Mont., showed 35 cents in gold. Five ounces of soil, which assayed no gold at all before treatment, after Moray’s treatment, assayed gold content at the rate of $122.50 per ton.Another interesting test was made by the Union Assay Office, Salt Lake City on about 50 c.c. of artesian water which showed no trace of gold before treatment. After treatment it assayed at the per ton rate of $10.50 in gold and $2.63 in silver!

      It should be understood these experiments were not done on a commercial basis, but as a laboratory experiment. It should be remembered too, these metals did not “vanish” after the experiment was concluded but remained stable at least long enough to be run through standard assaying processes.

      Mr. Moray has experimented along lines of increasing the radioactivity of certain already radioactive minerals by his process.

      He says he has increased the activity of carnotite, uranium and other radioactive substances, including a combination of copper and lead!

      Immediately, one is anxious to know how such wonderful things are accomplished. Therein, lies a set of secrets known completely only to T. H. Moray.

      It would appear they may involve a whole new concept of things. Whether these concepts coincide with present scientific concepts of atomic structure I do not know.

      T. H. Moray is an electrical engineer, born and brought up in Salt Lake City, Utah. Who’s Who in Engineering carries the following information concerning him.

      “Born August 28, 1892, Educated, public schools, Salt Lake City. Graduated from The Latter Day Saint’s Business College there: completed an Electrical Engineering course with International Correspondence School. Took his E. E. degree, University of Upsala.

      “Moray has held the following positions: Electrical Engineer and designer, Utah Power & Light Co., and the Phoenix Construction Co.; Assistant Chief Engineer, Arastard Construction & Engineering Co.; Division Electrical Engineer, Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Co. He was also a consulting engineer in private practice.”

      “Moray has written articles for several publications dealing with electrical engineering matters. For many years now he has devoted much time to experimenting and developing what he chooses to call “the field of radiant energy”.

      It is through the application of this “radiant energy”, then, that Mr. Moray stakes his claim for his many metallurgical accomplishments. Within this realm lie his secrets. Perhaps, like Sir Issac Newton, Moray is ahead of his time.

      Just what is radiant energy? Where does it come from? How may it be used by man? These and a host of other questions must be answered.

      Unfortunately much of this information is held secret by Mr. Moray. Even if it were available it would require a large volume to cover it.

      However, we can make a beginning. Mr. Moray believes there exists a band of vibrations or waves “beyond the light rays”. These vibrations come in surges or groups like ocean waves – a powerful first surge, followed by other less powerful and graduated surges which finally fade to nothing, only to begin over again immediately.

      I have understood, not from Moray, that he first became aware of these strange surges early in his career, as he sat through the long nights, his car headlights “glued” to a silent set of telephone lines.

      Here he first beard the regular but oscillatory “cadence of sounds” and wondered what produced them. During his search he discovered this force he chooses to call “radiant energy.”

      Moray has come to believe this force pervades all space. He believes one may tap it on the Moon, on Pluto, at the farthest point of the Milky Way, or anywhere between, as well as on Earth.

      While Mr. Moray does not believe in “perpetual motion, perpetual light or perpetual power”, he does think the supply of radiant energy is ample for all mankind’s power needs indefinitely.

      One of Moray’s adherents wrote me, “I think Moray’s radiant energy is the greatest invention of our time. Atomic energy is `peanuts’ by comparison.”

      One may think as he pleases, of course, but it seems such a statement is a bit over-optimistic at this time. Nothing approaching so vast an accomplishment has been demonstrated thus far.

      However, Nikola Tesla never made known all the results of his Colorado experiments and it is quite possible he learned something of a potential force similar to radiant energy but thought the world not ready for it. It is known that Moray is a close student of Tesla’s work.

      On the other hand, Moray gradually has perfected his device’s output from a capacity to light one small incandescent light bulb to a present capacity claimed to be 50 kilowatts. Fifty kilowatts represents about 67 horsepower and, certainly, 67 horsepower is not to be disregarded. Many small factories do not use as much as 67 horsepower.

      According to Moray, one of his present units can be built for about $800. Mass production methods might cut this price in half. Under these circumstances, a unit in a home would bring about a substantial saving in power bills over several years time.

      As many as 100 persons have witnessed radiant energy demonstrations. Radiant energy, as it emerges from the Moray apparatus, may be considered a form of electricity. It is an alternating current, but an alternating current of very high frequency or cyclage.

      This current will light ordinary incandescent light bulbs. The light which comes from these bulbs is called “pure white on the blue side, not on the yellow side as light given off when the same bulbs are lighted with commercial currents.”

      This light possesses high actinic qualities, which means t affects photographic films quickly and powerfully. Photographers who have exposed films in this light have found they are forced to “stop way down” to prevent over exposure.

      If a photograph of a single bulb lighted with radiant energy is taken the print shows a large, dark ring, perpendicular to the base of the bulb. This ring looks like a circle of translucent black fog. It seems the light somehow reflects itself on the air, or projects a shadow of itself there.

      Some persons who have seen radiant energy power lights say the bulbs look as if they were filled entirely with white light, as if the gas itself which fill the bulbs were fully incandescent. Moray believes this to be true.

      Radiant energy will heat electric flat irons and other electrical heating devices. It is claimed heating capacities are reached much more quickly with radiant energy than with commercial currents, and are considerably hotter than when powered with ordinary electric energy.

      The high frequency of radiant energy is responsible for this. Moray SAYS HE HAS LEARNED THE EXACT FREQUENCY OF RADIANT ENERGY but he will not disclose it. Further, he says voltmeters and ammeters used to measure commercial alternating currents will not measure radiant energy.

      Electric motors wound to turn on commercial electricity will not operate on radiant energy. He says, “Motors wound to accept the frequency of radiant energy will operate.”

      (Morays’ energy machine would only operate RESISTIVE DEVICES – VANGARD)

      However, I learned elsewhere, that while such motors will operate they are not as efficient as motors running on ordinary commercial currents. Moray says when his motors are running in the dark they glow with a violet aura. His motors run cold!

      The speeds of the radiant energy motors, as reported, are fantastic. Moray wrote me they turn over better than 36,000 revolutions per minute, more than 600 per second!

      When I asked where he gets bearings to withstand such phenomenal speeds, Moray replied that he makes them. Thus I learned about his metallurgical work.

      What sort of an apparatus is Moray’s Radiant Energy Device? Briefly, it would appear to be similar to a radio receiving set of power proportions.

      It is composed of two coils of wire, or inductancies. It contains several condensers, or capacitors, of different sizes.

      There is a detector tube, or electronic valve, and two oscillator tubes. Added to this is a “bar of silver and a bar of copper”, a starting device, and a step down electrical transformer, reported to be 1000-to-1, primary to secondary.

      All of this is enclosed in a box measuring about 30 inches long by 16 inches wide by 16 inches high. It weighs about 50 pounds. There are no moving parts. Moray says there are no dangerous radiations surrounding the box when it is in operation.

      Many persons have looked inside the box. Several have made more than a cursory examination of its contents – except for the detector tube!

      The inductances are about eight and 10 inches in diameter. They are composed of several layers of wire. The diameter of the wire is much smaller than necessary to carry anything like 50 kilowatts of ordinary commercial electricity.

      Probably, there is a direct relationship between the size of the wire and the number of turns of it on each coil. Further, it can be assumed the distance separating the two coils is important, as well as the direction in which the coils are wound.

      Moray is silent as to the materials used in his capacitors or condensers. Neither does he tell their capacities. They vary in size but this is not indicative of capacity!

      If one part of the apparatus is more important than another I would conclude it is the tubes or valves. Moray will not say much about these. He admits they do not contain an electrically heated filament whose radiations provide the means of carrying currents to different parts of the tube and which produce the valve action.

      How, then, is this valve action produced? Moray does not say. I have learned, from other sources, of Moray’s purchase of radioactive materials.

      I have been informed by one source that Moray uses these radioactivities as the “carrying-currents” within his tubes. Exactly what the radioactive materials may be, I have not learned as yet.

      Some say it is a uranium compound; others deny this. What is more, we do not know whether the detector tube and the oscillators use the same materials.

      Being cold tubes, it can be assumed they are not vacuum tubes. However, Moray does have vacuum pumps in his laboratory. The tubes may be filled with gas. But if they are filled with a gas, what gas?

      These tubes, especially the detector, seem to be the weakest links in the chain of parts in the Moray system. By far the greater number of times the demonstration apparatus has stopped because of troubles, it appeared the trouble lay in the detector tube.

      Moray does not allow anyone to see the detector tube – apparently the big secret of the device lies there!

      At the same time, the least understood of the device’s mysteries is the function of the bar of silver and the bar of copper set side by side.

      Are they “true” copper and silver? Or are they alloys -possibly treated with the very radiant energy they may help to produce? Have they been transmuted in some way? Are they only decoys? Are they a special type of air condenser? Are their lengths, widths, thicknesses, as well as their distance apart, important? All of these questions, and many, many more, flood into one’s mind – and remain unanswered!

      Early in his experiments Mr. Moray used both an antenna and a ground connection. He no longer uses either. This eliminates the possibility that he taps either current from power lines or from radio transmitters.

      The longest known continuous run of the apparatus has been a little over 57 hours. It has been run nearly three times that long with short shutdowns for inspection of different parts.

      Such long test runs pretty well spike any idea that Moray has batteries in the box. If he does have batteries in the box he has something new in batteries!

      Even if Moray’s device were a commercial item today – which it most certainly is not – it would be years before our present-day electrical power would become obsolete.

      Perhaps it might never become outmoded. It is quite possible many uses made of commercial electricity could not be supplied by radiant energy.

      We are quite sure radiant energy does not transmit well even over short distances. It seems quite possible that definite limits exist on the size of radiant energy units. There is some question as to how many such units could be operated within any given area. Further, what effect would radiant energy devices have upon radio and television reception and transmission?

      It appears long research will be necessary before radiant energy can be more than an “interesting matter to ponder!” And within our lifetimes other forms of power generators may be commercialized.

      Already we begin to hear of electricity so cheap it will not be metered! But little either comes or goes in a day. As always, time is both our enemy and our friend.

      Hi, I really loved reading this post and all the comments to it. Nice that you liked Tesla model. I am not sure if this kind of model exists, but I would rather buy a traditional one that uses fuel.

      Indeed, I agree with you. I once saw a picture of a gas station for electric car and thought that was really not my thing. Read more about how to get the car of your dream. I bought one for my wife there. Was pretty quick, especially the money approval thing. I know that women hate to wait for long.
