Findings [web]

  1. A Moray work not in the folder: A Brief Analysis of the Moray Radiant Energy Device: What it Is, Possibilities, Testimonies, by Thomas Henry Moray, 50 pp., undated ("19??"), subjects "Electromagnetic waves -- Miscellanea; Radiation -- Miscellanea" (https://www.google.com/books/edition/A_Brief_Analysis_of_the_Moray_Radiant_En/lE4FNQAACAAJ). No preview. WorldCat holdings could not be checked (WorldCat now asks for sign-in or acceptance of terms; neither was done). Priority 1: a "testimonies" pamphlet by Moray himself, probably the source of the witness statements the books reprint.
  2. A 1932 biography published in Moray's lifetime: J. Cecil Alter, Utah, the Storied Domain (1932), pp.439-440: "THOMAS HENRY MORAY, Utah's electrical wizard, inventor, scientist, editor, poultry expert, is a native son ..."; "radiant energy. He began experimenting in this direction at the age of sixteen. His demonstrations have given ..."; family details (Sweden; grandfather Martin Moray, born 1800) [snippet]. Biographical volumes of this kind were usually written from the subject's own information [memory, medium]. So it is a near-primary 1932 statement of his career. It may also settle whether a doctorate or Uppsala study was claimed in 1932 (Claim 7); the snippets do not show it. The Internet Archive holds only vol. 1 (utahstorieddomai0001jcec, lending-restricted); the biographical volume should be on HathiTrust (blocked this run).
  3. The 1928 endurance test reported abroad in 1934: Proceedings of the Indian Science Congress, vol. 21 (1934), p.65: "... Moray Radiant Energy Device which captures such energy with a similar antenna and earth in sufficient strength to light a bank of 100 lights for 154 hours. How can plants pick up the waves that suit them? ..." [snippet]. It is an outside, non-family mention six years after the test. Its figures (100 lights, 154 h) differ from the folder's record (about 110-120 W, 157 h 55 min). It shows how the claim spread, not new evidence about the test.
  4. Rosicrucian Digest, 1956, p.418: an article on possible power sources: "Moray, of Salt Lake City, Utah, an electrician of many years' experience ... Moray's first device lighted only one 100-watt incandescent light" [snippet]. It may be the same piece as the folder's Fate 1956 article (not compared).
  5. A 1943 printing of "Radiant Energy": the UN ECAFE library list (1950), p.160: "Moray, T. H. Radiant Energy. Utah, Salt Lake City, 1943. 20 pp." [snippet]. The copyright entry gives 23 Dec 1945 for the 20-page edition. Either ECAFE's date is wrong or a 20-page printing existed by 1943. This bears on the dating questions about the folder's "1926" and 1945 printings (facts.json).
  6. Catalog of Copyright Entries 1956, p.840: "Radiant energy. Moray, T. H." (index entry for the 1956 edition already logged in run 1). The 1946 CCE p.957 entry is confirmed again.
  7. Secondary works that cite Moray (for the record, not checked): McConnell, An Introduction to Parapsychology in the Context of Science (1983) p.225 ("100,000 watts ... from a 60-lb package"); IECEC 1991 p.348 (John Moray, "letters of authenticity"; the paper is in the folder); IECEC 1993 p.2-907 (author index); Tutt 2001 p.41 (Judd's letter to Eyring); Moray B. King 2014 (No. 30 wire); Ginex 2026 (repeats "input 0 kW, output > 50 kW"). The 50 kW figure comes back in the later literature without a witness (compare Claim 1).
  8. Mark J. Hagmann (Research Institute and Moray v. Hagmann, 1970, return of papers): an IEEE author biography (Hagmann et al., hyperthermia paper, 1985; http://embiolab.ifac.cnr.it/SitesP2/biblio/inseriti/Hyperthermia_1985.pdf, last page, OCR) says Mark J. Hagmann was "born in Philadelphia, PA, on February 14, 1939", received a "B.S. degree in physics from the Brigham Young University ... 1960" and a "Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Utah ... 1978" on the absorption of electromagnetic energy by man, and later was a research professor at Utah. A Paracelsus Research Society (Salt Lake City alchemy school) bulletin of the 4th quarter of 1966 says "Mark J. Hagmann, M.A., covered transmutations with a bibliography for 'Little Known Cases of Transmutations in the 19th and 20th Century'" (see 2026-10-04-paracelsus-bulletins.md). The defendant of 1970 is very probably this physicist and later bioelectromagnetics engineer; the identity is not proven. People-search sites in the results were not used.
  9. Replications: no written replication report was found. What turns up is hobby material: YouTube channels ("Moray Generator", 2023; "Double M Innovations", Dec 2025, "Inspired by Thomas Henry Moray"), Reddit "Blueprint: Recreating Moray's Radiant Energy Device", Scribd "Manual of Free Energy Devices", an Internet Archive "Radiant Energy Generator - Open Specification (V1)" (2025). None reports measured input and output.
  10. FBI file 917273: no posting found (governmentattic, theblackvault and MuckRock results are only logs or unrelated).
