Dear E.V. Gray Researchers,

Here are two photos of historical interest. These are of the assumed EMA3. This is yet another prototype 9 pole motor ? not to be confused with the 3 pole series of motors that are owned by Al Francoeur that seem to use the same numbering system.

Given the time when these photos were taken it is assumed that this motor was destroyed along with the EMA4-E2 after the LA DA raid.

The close up photo (EMA3 100-5) shows that the motor is not complete. The holes that mount the electromagnets are empty. I suppose the electromagnets were cannibalized to make repairs on the EMA4-E2 ? but this is just a good story telling thought.

What we do see is 10-12? swing lathe. This piece of shop equipment plus the vertical mill seen in other photos implies that maybe Fred Lenz did fabricate most of the EMA6 after all (as he claimed in later legal action). That shows you that a father-in-law from a second marriage can be good for something after all - that is before the lawyers become involved.

Dear E.V. Gray Researchers,

Here is a better photo (and the last) of the EMA6 before it rides off into the FBI shredder sunset. The date of 4/25/76 shows us that this is four months after the last stockholders meeting. Richard Hackenburger and E.V. Gray are still attempting the breath some performance life into this prototype.

The improved approach is the swapping out of the one ?donut? (commutator section) for four smaller ones. What the new ones did or how they are improved over the single unit design is anybodies guess. However, that original commutator was not an inexpensive piece of equipment to have fabricated.

Obviously, they felt they had made a mistake or over extended some assumption somewhere that required a bit of re-engineering. They had already run out of money and the bones of the company were starting to be picked apart by the lawyers. It appears that Gray and Hackenburger were grasping at straws as to how to get this thing to function with no money. Richard might have been driving cab at that time to pay his rent. He was from San Diego and never went home but rather chose to stay in LA to see this adventure to his end.

As far as I know the EMA6 never did significantly improve its performance, however the modifications shown in this photo are claimed to have helped out ? but no one knows by how much or if they actually did.

Both men fully believed they had a fortune just sitting in from of them, ?now darn it, why doesn?t this thing work like the other one did??

Failure is a hard pill to swallow in any circumstance. Imagine how these men might have felt when they both realized they had an age-changing technology in their hands and then somehow it just slipped away. Both men spent the rest of their lives in pursuit of this dream.

Notice the Stroboscope on the bench behind the motor.

Dear E.V. Gray Researchers,

Here is a photo I find interesting. For the last 10 years the only instruments that are shown in any of the E.V.Gray photos was the venerable Triplett 630-A analog multi-meter.

Finally, here is a photo of the EMA6 with an oscilloscope shown with it - and it?s a Tektronix model to boot. I have known for a couple of years now that Gray didn?t know how to turn one of these things on let alone use it. So, it is refreshing to see that Mr. Hackenburger was actually using some real instruments.

That means that when he says his pulse widths are on the order of milliseconds and that the current magnitude reached 160 Amps we have a lot better chance of believing that he was not just blowing hot air, like E.V. Gray was known to do when it came to facts and figures.

I found an interesting similarity between Gray circuit and this text :

http://www.intalek.com/Index/Projects/Research/FreeEnergy.pdf

which we may consider as another theory of Gray tube ;-)

Look at attached image.

"Besides this way it is possible to use pulsed mode and
switch-off the primary energy source before the
emission electrons will reach the anode, Fig.2. In this
case there is not the conductivity current between
anode and cathode and the primary source is not
discharging during its work."

What if that was the source of power in original Marvin Cole device ? A power vacuum tube maybe klystron or thyratron, something very uncommon and hard to get but able to generate large secondary electron emission current. Then Gray tube was only a switching element for that current. If so we are in hopeless situation because klystron and thyratron is almost impossible to get. That device had to have very curious features indeed - it had to work in cold cathode way and generating large current peak.I speculate that maybe it was a hand made device without  anode , just with special cathode/filament which generate large peak current slowed later by carbon and switched to copper grids by a method described above.

Dear forest,

I believe that there are vacuum tube structures that do have the ability to deliver some OU output - but I doubt that E.V.Gray and company did it that way. At least from a historical analysis.

The CSET has never been shown to produce any measurable OU during its two decades of existence. The only tested E.V.Gray motor that demonstrated the huge OU performance didn't have CSET's (The EMA2) and all of the "Black Box" circuits didn't have CSET's either.

All of the proposed ideas for energy tubes that I have seen from the free energy community require a vacuum. The only real CSET's in existence that I know of couldn't support a vacuum.

If you find energy vacuum tubes interesing then study Moray and/or Farnsworth. Or better yet study what Gary Magratten has done. He has probably pushed the CSET technology to its zenith and had a little funding to help out.

Richard Hackenburger (Gray's Engineer from 1973 - 1979) claims it was the spark gaps in the motor reacting with Oxygen. This is hardly the description of a vacuum condition. In fact they had to blow fresh air into the motor to keep the NO2 level down.

This is just my personal opinion for this month.
