A California inventor has found a way to create limitless electric power without using up fuel --- potentially the greatest discovery in the history of mankind.
Edwin Gray Sr., 48, has fashioned working devices that could:
Power every auto, train, truck, boat and plane that moves in this land --- perpetually.
Warm, cool and service every American home --- without erecting a single transmission line.
Feed limitless energy into the nation's mighty industrial system --- forever.
And do it all without creating a single iota of pollution.
Already, the jovial, self-educated Gray is forcing scientists to uproot their most cherished beliefs about the nature of electromagnetism.
Eventually, his discovery will transform the economic base upon which the society of the entire planet has rested up to this point.
Despite the ever-present danger from the petroleum and other power giants who face business extinction within the decade because of his invention, Gray and his associates in EvGray Enterprises have demonstrated its worth publicly --- an act requiring great courage.
And Tattler is proud to report for the first time in America the complete nature of gray's astounding system.
Displaying the kind of open honesty that made America great, Gray and his partners stress the fact that they want the whole world to benefit from their new technology.
"I won't allow it to be bought up and buried by big money interests", Gray told Tattler during the exclusive demonstration.
"I tried for 10 years to get American interests to pay some attention, but I've been tossed out of more places than most people ever think of going into."
Neither government agencies nor private enterprise would listen to Gray, so he turned in frustration to foreign interests. The innovative Japanese were eager to listen.
"As soon as word got out that the Japanese were interested in what we're doing, the Americans started flocking around."
Today, the small shop facility in Van Nuys is crawling with visitors from every segment of US industry and finance.
"The big money boys from Wall Street started coming around", Gray said with a touch of defiance in his tone.
"A bunch of them came in and suggested I file bankruptcy and get rid of all my backers and friends. Then they talked about giving me 20 million shares of a new corporation at $25 a share."
Gray was being offered a deal worth more than $4 billion --- on paper.
"That sure sounded rich, but I know darn well they would have fixed it up to sell that corporation off somewhere for a dollar and leave me holding 20 million shares of nothing."
The key men at EvGray include Richard B. Hackenberger, an electronics engineer who formerly worked for Sony and Sylvania corporations and the US Navy; and Fritz Lens, a former Volkswagen mechanic who knows nearly as much about the fantastic electrical system as Gray.
All the corporate officers agreed that they are determined to get around the money roadblocks and bestow the discovery upon the world.
Tattler was given a thorough demonstration of Gray's "impossible-but-true" methods for using electricity.
The first demonstration proved that Gray uses a totally different form of electrical current --- a powerful, but "cold" form of the energy.
A 6-volt car battery rested on a table. Lead wires ran from the battery to a series of capacitors which are the key to Gray's discovery. The complete system was wired to two electromagnets, each weighing a pound and a quarter.
"Now, if you tried to charge those two magnets with juice form that battery and make them do what I'm going to make them do, you would drain the battery in 30 minutes and the magnets would get extremely hot", Gray explained.
"I want you to watch what happens."
As Lens activated the battery, a voltmeter gradually rose to 3,000 volts, At that point, Gray closed a switch and there was a loud popping sound. The top magnet hurled into the air with tremendous force and was caught by Hackenberger. A terrific jolt of electricity had propelled the top magnet more than two feet into the air --- but the magnet remained cold.
"The amazing thing", Hackenberger said, "is that only 1% of the energy was used --- 99% went back into the battery."
Gray explained, "The battery can last for a long time, because most of the energy returns to it. The secret to this is in the capacitors and in being able to split the positive."
When Gray said "split the positive", the faces of two knowledgeable physicists screwed up in bewilderment. Normally, electricity consists of positive and negative particles. But Gray's system is capable of using one or the other separately and effectively.
"He means we have to rewrite the physics textbooks", Hackenberger grinned. It has been the engineer's job in recent months to formulate gray's system and put it into writing.
"That's not an easy job because this system actually defies everything I've ever learned."
Gray said, "I never had no schooling in electronics or physics, so nobody told me it was impossible."
The "impossible" part of the demonstration was the lack of heat generated in the magnet. Heat is one of the biggest problems faced by electrical technology. Also "impossible" is the fact that only the "positive" nature of the energy was used.
"This thing is in its infancy", Gray explained. "When the full potential of American technology starts working with it, the results will astound everyone."
A further proof that he has an unusual source of power with unlimited potential was demonstrated next.
"We've been popping those magnets apart for the past 18 months with the same battery and it's still got a full charge. Now I want you to watch this?"
Gray showed this Tattler reporter a small 15-amp motorcycle battery. It was hooked up to a pair of his capacitors which in turn were hooked up to a panel of outlets.
He flicked a switch and the tiny battery sent a charge into the capacitors. He then plugged in six 15-watt electric bulbs on individual cords --- and a 110-volt portable television set and two radios. The bulbs burned brightly, the television played, and both radios blared --- and yet, the small battery was not discharging.
"You couldn't get all this current out of that battery under ordinary circumstances", Gray said.
"This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen!" exclaimed C.V. Wood Jr, president of the McCulloch Oil Corporation, who was also present at the demonstration. He began looking for hidden outlets from the wall.
"May I prove it doesn't come from any wall plug?" Gray offered.
A 40-watt light bulb screwed into an ordinary extension socket was plugged into the panel powered by gray's system. The bulb lit, then Gray dropped it into a cylinder filled with water.
"What would be happening if this was getting ordinary power right now?" Gray asked, as he stuck his hand in the water with the glowing light bulb.
"You'd be electrocuted and that thing would be popping and sputtering until the fuses blew", Wood replied.
This reporter then put his finger into the water with the light --- no shock.
"Gentlemen, this is a new manifestation of electricity", Hackenberger said.
The engineer told the astounded onlookers that no laws of physics were being violated, but a new application of electricity has been discovered and put to work.
Gray, one of 14 children, comes from Washington DC. As a small boy, he was fascinated by electricity, magnets, and gadgets in general.
"I really got excited about electricity when they tested the first radar across the Potomac in 1936. I was 11 years old then and visions of buck Rogers danced in my head."
He learned about radar during his World War II hitch in the Navy and "I've been messing around with coils and capacitors ever since".
He learned to "split the positive" in 1958 and spent the next dozen years finding the funds to put his discovery to work.
Any abbreviated explanation of Gray's system is an over-simplification of the technical aspects of this tremendous breakthrough, but some of the best minds in the US are now working with Gray to further improve his discovery.
Gray held the 40-watt bulb up out of the water and said: " You know, to light this bulb takes millions of dollars in power plant facilities, transmission lines, and circuitry. With my capacitors, I can provide power to any home for a couple hundred dollars."
The economic impact of that statement is beyond the imagination --- not to mention the ecology and anti-pollution benefits.
Tom Valentine & Edwin Gray: Demonstration of "Cold Electricity"~
Merging an electromagnetic motor with an all-plastic body and chassis, two pioneering inventors will put the first fuelless automobile into production and on sale this year.
The revolutionary machine is being called "that car of the future" for Americans today.
"We have the answer to the energy crisis", declared Edwin Gray, the Van Nuys, CA inventor who revolutionized the use of electricity by producing an electromagnetic motor using an ordinary auto battery that does not wear down in a few short miles.
"Our system can eventually solve the world's fuel and pollution problems", Gray told Tattler.
Paul M. Lewis, inventor of the "Fascination", an ultra-modern, "three-point road contact", all-plastic auto. His car of the future lists a number of engineering advantages over today's models, and the EMA motor will slowly replace internal combustion engines
Although it looks like a "three-wheeled" car, the Fascination actually has four wheels. The two front wheels are set close together. It is similar to the front wheels of an aircraft. Thus the name for Lewis' corporation --- Highway Aircraft Corp.
The 77-year-old inventor told Tattler, "Mr. Gray has promised delivery of his EMA motor by March of 1974 and we'll get our car on the road shortly afterwards."
Lewis, a veteran of many hassles with the auto-oil monopoly, was finally forcing his way to the marketplace with an all-new auto design when he heard about the EMA motor.
"We had an advantage over standard cars even with our Renault engine. But, with this motor, the big boys don't have a chance unless they get up to date," the fiery inventor told Tattler. "I've battled the industry tooth and nail for years now, and now we're coming on strong."
In 1936, Lewis designed a three-wheeled car that looked a lot like the present Volkswagen bug. He called it the "Airmobile", and his original model is still on display at Harrah's auto Museum in Reno, NV.
Though he hid not know what Dr. Ferdinand Porsche was doing in Germany, the Lewis Airmobile was amazingly similar to the popular VW beetle.
Both vehicles were low cost, simplistic in design, used horizontal opposed four-cylinder air-cooled engines, transaxles, independent suspension systems and unitized body construction.
When World War II came along, it sent VW soaring in Germany, but killed the Airmobile. Porsche fit into the German establishment, but Lewis was a "crackpot" inventor and a pain in the neck to the economic status quo.
The VW beetle's popularity proves that Lewis' original idea was valid and worthy, despite the laughter from Detroit.
The Airmobile was driven out of business in the late 1930s by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Postal Department, who have been called bureaucratic flunkies for the oil-auto monopoly.
"I was harassed for two years and they refused to let me sell stock in my company on the pretense they were investigating possible wrongdoing", Lewis said. "After I was beaten down, they sent representatives to tell me they found nothing wrong and I could sell stock. A man can't make a dead horse walk."
After losing the Airmobile, despite driving it through 26 states for more than 45,000 miles without a repair, Lewis went from Denver to Los Angeles, where he continued inventing.
His inventions made him financially solvent and he charged back into the auto business.
He planned to use his own "boilerless" steam engine in Fascination until the EMA motor came along.
A model of Ed Gray's motor is on display at Lewis' Highway Aircraft Corp., headquarters in Sidney, NE.
"We will eventually have stock to sell, but at this time we simply want the public to keep abreast of our progress", Lewis told Tattler.
Although still in the embryo stage, the merger of the two inventions promises to keep America in the technological forefront of the world.
The first prototype car cost Lewis more than $200,000 to build and the first prototype EMA motor ran close to $1 million to build.
"We will eventually tool up for mass production and bring the costs down considerably", Lewis said. "But the first 100,000 or so fascination cars with the EMA motor will cost the public about $2 per pound. Today's cars cost about $1 per pound, but we're almost twice as light."
The buying public will pay an estimated $5,000 for the Fascination with the EMA motor.
Although the Fascination will be priced with moderate cars and more expensive than economy cars, the savings on fuel and repair costs quadruple its value.
The body of Fascination will be made of Royalex, a tough rubber-like Uniroyal product.
To insure that his radical design will be practical and not only meet but surpass all safety standards, Lewis has contracted with two of the best automobile engineers in the world.
Visioneering, Inc. (Fraser, MI) is concentrating on the Fascination in order to insure it does everything Lewis claimed.
Richard Hackenberger, the electronics engineering expert hired by Gray to put his motor to work on a practical basis, explained how the new car will operate:
"Because we are not taking current directly from the batteries, but rather are supplementing the static charge which operates the system, we are getting fantastic efficiency.
"Of course, further research and development will eventually allow a motorist to drive across the nation without recharging his batteries, but we estimate a family could drive 500 miles at highway speeds without recharging."
Hackenberger said the 500-mile estimate is a "conservative" one and is applicable to a car using air-conditioning or heating and radio.
"Just driving around town, the EMA will last a lot longer without recharging", he said.
The engine will run in any temperature and there is no noise, no cooling system, and no exhaust fumes.
"The battery will go to work when the key is turned on and the light on the dash will glow while the starter motor builds the rotor up to speed. The light is used instead of a tachometer and it will only take a few seconds for the motor to build up and be ready to go."
Hackenberger was quick to explain, "We do not have perpetual motion here. We have an electrostatic generating system and a capacitor bank doing some very efficient work. The principle is based on a modification of Ohm's Law."
The power for the motor is generated by magnetic repulsion. Engineers have tested the motor and it develops 100 horsepower at the brake.
"This means we are as powerful as any standard internal combustion car on the road today. The inefficiency of the internal combustion engine is the reason", he said.
I know an engineer, not associated with Lazar, who is also working on the hydrogen injection for internal combustion diesel and gasoline engines mentioned on the site you link to. They are apparently having some fairly remarkable sucess with it. From my understanding they inject a small amount of hydrogen into the combustion chamber to get more bang. The result is a huge increase in efficiency.
Damn. Does this mean I invented cold fusion for nothing?
Sort of. Positive potential is created through the absense of electrons (referred to as "holes"). Holes are vital in semiconductors.
Hell, I've got one of those.
Those aren't particles though. Which was my point.
You're right. It's actually the absence of particles. Semiconductor science treats holes as particles though, so some nutball reporter wouldn't know any better.
And the Getty's..
"I won't allow it to be bought up and buried by big money interests", Gray told Tattler during the exclusive demonstration."
Dead man walking. Oil guys like their 400 million retirement packages.
If these people were worried about their inventions being bought out and buried, they should have mass mailed videotapes and DVDs to as many people as they could to get the public aware of it.
But, if they had the address of somewhere in Van Nuys, California on the packages, the DVDs and tapes would be promptly trashed. Lotta porno movies originate from there.
Are you high? With an invention like this, oil companies could increase their profit margins a thousandfold. Anyone who has this invention would become a multi-zillionaire.
Considering that this article is over three decades old, do you think someone by now would have tried to capitalize on this?
There is this tiny little principle in physics known as the Conservation of Energy. Ever hear of it? Even with no resistivity at all, a single battery does not hold enough power to achieve the results listed.
You are correct, sir. Electrons are negative potential particles that orbit atoms in conduction bands. "Positives" are simply positive potential "holes" in the bands that attract electrons.
Great except for one thing: such a big surf generator plant could cause serious interference with sea animal populations. Can you imagine the outcry from Greenpeace over such a large surf generator plant?
Yet another free energy machine. Invest in both to double your loses ugh I mean gains.

Flux capacitor got banned I think
"Bob Lazar has a criminal record. "
That may be, and he may be 90% crackpot, but that last 10% is really pretty amazing. I think Shatner did some things with him.
"Thank heavens they are still publishing crap like this. I think stories like this are essential for inspiring 10 year-olds everywhere"
I think I tried to invent a magnet only motor about that time. It got me thinking.
