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.

有些人认为,炼金术主义者没有寻找制作黄金的新配方,而是寻找他们相信的信息曾经知道,那么迷失了。

自历史首次被记录以来,黄金已经提起了男人的思想。在几个土地上,黄金被称为“太阳金属”。它被用于崇拜,装饰圣地。

现代科学家并不是对金色和其他金属可以从未含金的材料传播的想法不利,因为我们认识到它。

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 200 degrees Fahrenheit!.” So, there is no question of a misplaced zero here!

进一步进入这一冶金的问题,Moray说他已经处理过铜,“Cu”,因此它不会在3000摄氏度下熔化。通常在大约1980年代铜熔化。

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.”

由Moray的过程处理一盎司的铅,并由Boazine实验室,诺里斯,诺里斯,蒙特,蒙特,展示了35美分。五盎司的土壤,在Moray治疗后,在治疗前发现没有黄金,以每吨122.50美元的价格测定黄金含量。

另一个有趣的测试是由工会的屁股ay 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.

他说他增加了牙科石,铀和其他放射性物质的活动,包括铜和铅的组合!

立即,一个人急于知道这种美妙的事情是如何完成的。其中,谎言完全仅为T. H. Moray完全已知的秘密。

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.

我已经理解,而不是来自海鳗,他首先在他的职业生涯中早期意识到这些奇怪的潮流,因为他坐在漫长的夜晚,他的车前灯“粘在一套沉默的电话线上。

在这里,他先留着常规但振荡的“声音的节奏”,并想知道是什么产生的。在他的搜索过程中,他发现了这种力量,他选择称之为“辐射能量”。

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.

该电流将亮起普通白炽灯泡。来自这些灯泡的光被称为“蓝色侧面上的纯白色,而不是在黄色侧,当与商业电流照明相同的灯泡时给出的光。”

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.

如果拍摄具有辐射能量的单个灯泡的照片被拍摄,则打印显示出大,深环,垂直于灯泡的底部。这个戒指看起来像一个半透明的黑色雾的圈子。似乎光线以某种方式反映在空中,或者在那里投射阴影。

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.”

然而,我在其他地方学到了,而这种电机将运作它们并不像普通商业电流运行的电机一样高效。Moray说,当他的电机在黑暗中运行时,他们用紫罗兰色的光环焕发。他的电机很冷!

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.

什么类型的装置是Moray的辐射能量装置?简而言之,似乎类似于无线电接收电力比例集。

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!

电感直径约为8和10英寸。它们由几层电线组成。丝的直径远小于携带任何像普通商业电力50千瓦所需的所需。

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!

如果装置的一部分比另一个部分更重要,则得出结论是管或阀门。Moray不会对此说出多大说法。他承认它们不含电加热的灯丝,其辐射为管道的不同部位提供电流并产生阀门作用的辐射。

那么,这种阀门动作是如何产生的?海鳗并没有说。从Moray购买放射性物质的其他来源,我已经了解到了。

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!

在他的实验早期,Moray先生使用天线和地面连接。他也不再使用了。这消除了他可以从电源线或无线电发射器中抽出电流的可能性。

该装置的最长已知连续运行已经超过57小时。它已经运行了几乎三倍,短暂停工,检查不同部位。

这么长的测试运行得很漂亮,所以Moray在盒子里有电池的想法。如果他在盒子里有电池,他有新电池有新的东西!

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.

带到s 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.

我们已经开始听到电力如此便宜它不会被计量!但小小的要么在一天内到来。一如既往地,时间是我们的敌人和我们的朋友。
