A Practical Guide to 'Free-Energy' Devices

Some time during 1987 - 1988, Gray became ill with a serious case of pneumonia and was hospitalized. He had
been a heavy smoker all his life. He never fully recovered from this illness and required Oxygen from this point
on. His reduced lung capacity made it much more difficult to continue his work.
From Portland he moved to Sparks, Nevada. Gray rented a combination living quarters and shop space in a light
industrial area. He unloaded his truck and began to disassemble all of his demonstration carts. He was living
with Dorothy McKellips at the time who claims that Gray still did experiments during the day but in the evening all
the components were once again taken apart and mixed with other parts. Early, one morning in April of 1989,
about 2:00 am, somebody suddenly started banging hard on one of the shop windows. Gray, in his compromised
health condition, got out his gun and went down stairs to frighten off the intruder with a warning shot. The gun
failed to fire. A few minutes later, Dorothy found Ed on the floor. It is presumed that the resulting stress caused
Gray to suffer a fatal heart attack, although the exact cause of death was never determined. He was 64. The
identity of the late night visitor is not known.
Gray’s oldest son “Eddie” flew to Sparks, Nevada to identify his father’s body. Later, he spent several months
attempting to help a Kansas group recover the technology. But, Dorothy would not release any of Gray’s
equipment until she had received a large payment for herself. The Kansas group then got a court order to take
possession of the technology. But the document was poorly worded and did not define exactly what “technology”
really meant. The order did state that they had rights to all of the motors. Dorothy caught this fact and gave them
just the bare motors, keeping all the power converters and other things in her possession. Dorothy then decided
to have the last laugh before this looming legal battle could escalate much further. She had all the remaining
equipment, videos, parts, drawings, and laboratory notes hauled away and dumped in the local land fill.
Apparently none of the remaining systems that the Kansas group had on hand were complete enough to
reconstruct. Meanwhile, the remaining millions of dollars of investor capital in the Cayman Islands bank account
were tainted by the fraud of the over-sale of the stock. Ultimately, these funds were either confiscated by the local
government in fines or simply swallowed by the bank, since no one could withdraw the funds without being
arrested.
[This account of the life and times of Edwin V. Gray was compiled by Mark McKay, of Spokane, Washington, after
numerous interviews with a number of Ed Gray’s surviving children. This account is an attempt to piece together
the most accurate retelling of Ed Gray’s story ever made available to the public. Many of the details in this
account are in direct contradiction of earlier accounts as reported in the newspaper clippings from the 1970’s.
These earlier accounts should now be considered to be in error.]
