The Suppression of Fuel Savers and Alternate Energy Resources 449
Henry's father died (in Salt Lake City) of natural causes, certain individuals—people
whom the Morays trusted—swindled his mother out of the
family fortune.
She turned to her only son, hoping that Henry would specialize in
money matters, and she insisted that he attend a Latter Day Saints
(Mormon church) college because it had a good business course.
However, from the age of nine Henry had had a driving interest of his
own—radio and electrical science. In his spare time as a boy he searched
the garbage dump for scraps of wire and other materials for basement tinkering.
By age fifteen, he had a job wiring houses, which taught him more
about electricity. Meanwhile, the beginnings of the Radiant Energy concepts
were pounding through his mind. In the summer of 1909 he started
experimenting with taking electricity from the ground, and by autumn of
the next year he had enough power to run a miniature arc light. Thinking
about Benjamin Franklin's kite experiment, Henry at first figured he was
dealing with static electricity. He later changed his view.
He firmly believed in his energy idea, despite the reigning scientific
ideas which would label it as impossible. Even when his experiments only
converted enough energy to make a slight click in a telephone receiver, he
was sure that he was on the right track. During Christmas holidays of
1911, he became more certain that the mysterious energy was not static,
but was oscillating (swinging back and forth) like pendulum upon pendulum
across the universe. And he realized that the energy was not coming
out of the earth, but instead it was coming to the earth from some outside
source. The electrical oscillations pound the earth day and night, "always
coming, in vibrations from the reservoir of colossal energy out there in
space."
After a correspondence course in electrical engineering, the next step
in his education was an extended stay in Sweden; he went on a mission
for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The young missionary
managed to study science at the University of Upsalla and complete a
doctoral thesis. Naturally, the thesis related to his idea that there is energy
throughout space.
While he was a homesick student/missionary in Scandinavia in the
summer of 1913, Henry picked up a soft, white stone-like material out of
a railroad car at Abisco, Sweden. He also took some of the material from
the side of a hill, tested it and decided the stone might be good to use in a
valve-like detector of energy. This led Henry to his research in semiconductive
materials; from this stone he developed the "Moray valve" that
was used in his early Radiant Energy devices.
After he returned to the United States in 1917 he married Ella Ryser and
they later had five children. On his career ladder, Moray worked his way up
