Then how could anyone ever reproduce Ed Gray's technology?
Well Grumpy, that is a very good question. I might look like a fool for trying but at my age (72) who gives a rip?
First you have to start with a firm conviction that the disclosed process is:
1. Real
2. Produces a usable energy output at a substantial COP
3. Is composed of parts and materials available to the garage scientist.
4. Could be reproduced in part or whole within an acceptable budget.
The “Gray” technology as presented in D.S. Peter Lindemann’s book “The Free Energy Secrets of Cold Electricity” seemed to meet these requirements. The main selling point was the 3rd party vetting of this technology. I dug into the company who did the evaluation and the reviewers who did the actual tests. I was convinced that the technology was real, and the reviewers were well qualified. The measured output was better than anything I had read about at the time.
Next came the years of interviews, experiments, reading, and soul searching. But I couldn’t deny that these people were on to something powerful but for several reasons (like death) it fell from their hands. A common story in this business.
By collecting all the fragments, speculations, stories, political intrigue, and honest observations I was able to at least get a framework of what this technology was all about and what it was not. But none of this could make the leap from power supply components to a non-classical converter without some novel process that involved the parts on hand. (Or easily acquired)
The first theory breakthrough came from the McFreey paper that was attempting to explain the operation of the TPU device in terms of iron transmutation that was stimulated by a process call Acoustic Resonance that involved electron spin gyrations being upset by means of an RF burst. Well, the concept sounded interesting, but the critics panned it because there was no classical particle that met the energy profile described. Oh well, at the time there appeared to be an army of researchers working on TPU replications.
The idea of iron (or other metal) transmutation seemed interesting, so I collected writings on the subject. Even Dr. Tesla had his thoughts on the useful properties of iron wire. It became apparent that other inventors were using iron wire as well, but the method of stimulation appeared different.
A possible solution came together at the convention this last July with Mr. Hakasays and Dr. Marsh adding the missing pieces. The theory fits all the constraints I have observed. Now to see if it performs. It is not the end all be all. It is just one interesting possibility of a core process that I think is worth exploring. Maybe in a few months it will prove to be another bust.
