Nuclear Resonat Battery test soon to come

Radium or uranium inside a rectifiying cold cathode tube,what percentage of gammas can be auto-rectified in this way?

He was using alpha, not gamma.

Thank you for the Links!

Replication of Moray's device is obviously extremely difficult since in 90 years nothing has been shown to the public.

Not much is available regarding the larger, 50KW models, which were apparently  tested underground and in submarines.

The first models used a wire antenna which gave long sparks when being repositioned. These sparks were harmless and characteristic of sparks generated in the KHz range.  Any lower and they could kill, any higher and they would be very hard to produce, as seen in the MHz range tesla coils which only give short sparks.

The problem is that there is no natural  known source of rf radiation which could possibly give watts of power to a receiver. Microwatts possibly, and that's from a radio station.   Robert W Bass, Rhodes scholar,  in his video ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHTCZu8OZtI , believed that Moray was tapping into the Schumann resonance.  Unfortunately Roberts passed away soon after the video.  To tap into these waves effectively  one would need an antenna a quarter wave long or about 6 miles long. They also exist as standing waves, which would mean some locations would get no power. 
One theory I had was that Moray applied a very high voltage at the antenna to create an energy sucking effect, as is talked about on this page, http://amasci.com/tesla/tesceive.html ,   the problem is that the oscillations were definitely not at the 7Hz range.

If we concentrate on radioactivity as being the 'secret' then we quickly run into a big problem  Simple calculations show that no where close to enough energy can be supplied by the radioactive source.  For example 1 gram of polonium 210 , a very powerful source of alpha particles, radiates 4500 Curies of radiation. This is the same as 4.5Kg of Radium which itself is no weakling.   The powerful 1g of polonium will only provide 52 microampers of electricity between two plates. See patent 2,633,542 . Uranium would provide practically no current at all!

Does RF excitation make a difference? Modern nuclear science would say no. But according to Paul Brown it does.  Although there are pictures of a Nuclear Magnetic Battery, I don't believe that there are any witnesses who saw it in operation, unlike Moray, who displayed his invention many times and allowed people to view all its parts except for one small part he kept in his hand or pocket.

I don't expect the uranium to power any device  but I would hope that if Brown was correct some positive influence on the decay of the current in the resonant coil would show.  The radioactivity of my sample is about 25000 counts per minute.

If we are to concentrate on the antenna theory instead, then I believe that those high voltages may be achieved by using a tesla coil type of secondary coil (just a coil of wire with many turns but very high Q) coupled to the antenna (short antenna to avoid radiating out RF energy). The coil is tuned to some weak signal in the kHz range (lighnight strikes, radio station for testing etc). The coil is part of a regeneration type receiver and receives regeneration from a coupled coil and transistor (and battery initially). Once oscillations are built up to very high levels, extra power from a coupling coil can be used to power the transistor and outside circuitry.  Take a look at this patent for more info on an antenna with a small physical area but huge effective area and massive bandwidth www.google.com/patents/US5296866

True pomodoro natural uranium shoved infront of  the best germanium or silicon photocells would give hardly a few microamper BUT, remember,he had other elements shoved in that tube besides uranium eg bismuth.is it possible that certain nonradioactive elements exposed to mildly radioactive elements,become highly radio-active after exposure?I remember marie curie doing something like this. Is it possible that bismuth,which is already on the cusp of instability undegoes fission of sorts if stimulated by uranium's alphas? The question is,what is the fundamental behind morays energy gains and boosting of radio-signals?

A thought had occured to me also that since moray was layering-arraying semiconductors it seems,Ge,FeS,MoS he wouldve been capturing a multi-portion of natural uraniums emmission spectrum ie alphas,gammas,x-rays and perhaps lower frequency emmisions that we don't even know exists yet.a CIGS (copper-indium-gallium-sulfide) solar panel can convert not only visible but ultraviolet,near-infrared photons too. I've also heard that a single alpha particle can have so much energy in it that it can cascade thousands of electrons to higher energy states in silicon wafer

I don't believe there is enough energy in the particles. By simply blocking all alpha particles with some paper, all energy will turn to heat.  You need  extremely radioactive substances to do this, and lots of them to get any rise in temperature.  I'm very sure that even the  thousands of cascaded electrons in a photomultiplier tube, caused by one photon,  which give rise to a current , do not give free power- it drains the high voltage supply.
