The Moray device

[turbo]

According to John Moray, highly energetic cosmic rays from space are tapped by the machine, which is in subharmonic resonance with this high-frequency energy level, and it converts this energy level into a usable form of electricity.

Moray's device used twenty-nine stages of his special detector valves, which were difficult to produce, costing about five hundred dollars each. Only about one in four proved suitable for operation. He also had difficulty in obtaining sufficiently pure materials to make his special mixture for the pellet that enabled tube operation in a one-way gating fashion. 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. Thus it was like a one-way gate valve to an ocean wave; the energy "water" could flow in in each valve, but was prevented from flowing back out. The assemblage of multiple stages thus provided a series of collectors which contained enough energy to be useful. Theoretically there was no limit to the number of collectors that could be added, and so there appeared to be no limit to the energy that such a device could produce.

I like your view and find the graphic interesting, think what a screw adjustment could do to allow tuning of the plates via in/out movement.

Anyway you are without doubt correct that space is full of all frequencies that could indeed be used for energy recovery/conversion. I have included a graphic of a circuit I worked with back in  1994 and found it very interesting. The generator can of course be replaced with a 555 to fire the opto switch. The C1 cap and the switch freq. need to be properly picked, but this simple circuit will run a LED if it is pulsed off C2 at about the same ratio of C1/C2.

During my work with the circuit some said the opto diode into the transistor was charging the C2 cap. This fear can be eliminated by using a driver that is battery operated and above the earth ground, where there is no current path from the switch and the pulse drive.

Anyway enjoy it was fun to play with and may have a future with a little work.

The circuit is great but...

The ss devices will not pass the high speed particles ...at all ....IMHO
a cold cathode tube might be a different story
The coils do the"work" the valves prevent the  interactions from getting back  to source an cancelling them out
that is what is meant by "not using  feed back"

I hope that this is usefull...Moray had it ..thats for sure

Hi all.
During the last couple of month's I've been playing with this crystal radio I made.
I actually got it up to 5 volts out, but usually it is around 4.2 to 4.5 volts.
It can run LED's and small digital devices. 
Don't ask me why it is the way it is...I just tinker and make a drawing of what worked best.
My antenna is about 10-12 feet high and close to 30 feet long.
I started off with only 1/2 volt or so, but by observing little anomalies ect, I got it up to 5 volts out at one time.
As it is in my drawing I get about 4.25V.
Cheers
Scotty

Hi Scotty

Good work on your circuit!  As an experiment, you may want to try and add a tunable tank circuit just above your ground.  Tune the circuit you have for max, and then tune through the frequencies available by the tank circuit before ground.  This will help isolate your circuit from ground for more voltage and possibly add a source of voltage from some resonant energy force moving up from ground?

Idea came from here:  http://amasci.com/tesla/tesceive.html

Also, somewhere, I have a link to a crystal radio circuit that captures RF (probably a jule thief circuit?) that powers a transistor for audio amplification.  If I find it, I will post it here.

Would a cold cathode photo detector tube from an old Bell and Howell projector work as a low loss detector instead of a diode?  I am thinking these tubes would need high bias voltage?  At the bottom of this link is a list of possible crystal radio diode detectors and their respective losses:

Hope this helps,

Hi Scotty and all

I found the circuits I described here:

http://www.crystalradio.net/crystalplans/

Scroll down to Item #50 Powerful Crystal Set, It has the extra tank circuit above ground.  Looks like someone has already done this.

Scroll down to Item #153 Free Power Radios using transistor powered by the random radiation background.

You might want to start your own thread based on your experiments.
