Abstract: In the quest to discover a new energy source that can
replace existing technology and avoid further pollution of our planet, one can
but be frustrated by the knowledge that the secrets of past achievement in this
field have remained outside our reach. The reason for this is the probability
that the inventors themselves have not fully understood the physical processes
they were harnessing in their experiments, namely how that energy was actually
drawn from a hidden source in our immediate environment. Accordingly, they
shrouded their work by a cloak of secrecy and, being distrustful when faced with
hostile scientific opinion, have not left on record the details necessary to
replicate their findings. By examining from sparse information certain features
common to the apparatus used by those who have had success, and particularly the
efforts of Dr. Henry Moray in the 1920s, and analysing this in the context of
this author’s research investigation of the role aether plays in determining the
fundamental constants of physics, this mystery can now be solved. The evidence
points clearly to the future prospect of electrical power generation based on a
rather simple but specific form of capacitor system, which would have a low
weight to power ratio, operating at frequencies of the order of 100 kHz and
voltages of the order of 25 kV. Based on these findings the task ahead is to
alert the energy research community to what can be possible as, surely, it is
inconceivable that those pioneers of historical record were deceiving themselves
and those who witnessed their demonstrations.
