KeelyNet mirror (frienergi.alternativkanalen.com): "EV Gray Updated - 02/23/00": 2026-10-06

URL: https://frienergi.alternativkanalen.com/Graymotor.htm (read in Chrome; saved copy research/files/keelynet-mirror-Graymotor-2000-02-23.htm). The page is a mirror of a KeelyNet page (Jerry Decker; KeelyNet is on Lindemann's resource list) dated 23 Feb 2000, "Rediscovery of the EVGRAY Electric Motor". It withholds every name ("no names or locations are in this document to protect the principals"). Its main informant is an anonymous "close friend" of Gray.

What it says [web: https://frienergi.alternativkanalen.com/Graymotor.htm]

  • Death, a different account from Lindemann's: "The truth about Ed Gray is that he died in April 1993 in a trailer in Riverside, California". The informant says he was a pallbearer "at Grays funeral in California in April, 1993". The police said heart attack. The informant saw a blood stain, and the police gave three different stories: struck his head; a drunken woman pounded on the door and frightened him; a woman shot him. No autopsy record was found. The informant also says he "found no records that an Ed Gray ever lived in Riverside, Van Nuys or in Council, Idaho".
  • The page itself quotes, as a rumour, the version Lindemann prints (heart attack "at a warehouse in Nevada"), and dismisses a claim that Gray had "gone underground".
  • The VA burial record (see findagrave notes) gives death on 20 April 1990 in Sparks, Nevada with burial at Riverside National Cemetery. The month (April), the place of death (Sparks) and the place of burial (Riverside) each match one of the two accounts. The year matches neither: Lindemann gives 1989, this page 1993.
  • Arlington, Texas, 1986-89: Gray lived there "for about 3 years from 1986 to 1989" and built "five production prototypes" there with a second wife. This compares with Lindemann's "Grande Prairie, Texas" (Grand Prairie is next to Arlington).
  • Six motors survive (in 2000): the "original machined Teflon motor" plus five production prototypes. Two were photographed, weather-damaged. One is "mounted in a 6 cylinder automobile" (a linear piston engine that "makes a 'popping' sound").
  • Witnessed test: in at least one test the informant saw, "they had what appeared to be an overunity demonstration that ran continuously from batteries for 12 hours"; "The battery power was measured before the test ... ending up with more power than they had when the test started". No instruments or data are given. This is one anonymous source, and no second source has been found yet.
  • Claimed rating: the production prototype "should produce 1,000 HP" at 10,000 rpm. The page's own arithmetic uses "1 horsepower = 760 watts" (the standard value is 746 W).
  • Patent ownership: "The company involved with the patents is EVGray Enterprises, Zetech and Western States. Western is an oil drilling company which owns the rights to the Gray patents." This is a lead for patent assignment records.
  • Others: "the FBI and others suppressed anything they could"; "one particular guy who gathered lots of investor money for Gray, with as much as 60 million being placed offshore". Gray "worked for NASA as a mechanic where he met Dr. Alexei Popov", who built the large coil-repulsion demonstrator. All of these are the informant's statements.
  • Technical: "fired a few degrees out of alignment so as to induce rotation". This matches the patent's 6 2/3 degree offset and the deep read's point about torque at exact alignment. "With the capacitor banks arranged in threes, two are in charging mode while one is firing." "3500 volt DC capacitors". The production version had "three high voltage leads" and heavy "back EMF leads used to recharge the batteries".
  • Links on the page: KeelyNet files "EVGRAY #1 March 1990 article" and "EVGRAY #2 October, 1991". These predate Lindemann's book and the 1993 account, and were not opened (time).

Bearing on claims

  • Claim 5: this is the main competing account of the end of the record (death and the fate of the hardware). It also bears on the "absence of evidence" question: according to it the motors were dispersed and did not vanish, and patent rights passed to an oil-drilling company.
  • Claims 1-2: an anonymous witness reports one 12-hour run in which the batteries ended with more charge. No data are given.
