Edwin V. Gray Engine

Newspapers of January, 1973 all over the US were all talking about fuel shortages in the US during the cold winter, its effects on the railway services, the planet choking because all the fumes and smog coming out from autos and factories and the possibility of the US limiting the gasoline usages. Some of them were eager for some hope of new sources of clean energy.

It seemed that there was a shimmer of hope in a small laboratory in Van Nuys, California. Edwin V. Gray made what should have been the greatest breakthrough in history when he came up with a way of creating infinite amounts of electric power without consuming any fuel. It was called an Electromagnetic Association (EMA) motor .He said that he already had functions highly clean and pollution-free devices that could indefinitely be used to power almost everything; cars, trucks, trains and even planes.

It can also be used to satisfy the needs every home for electric energy without consuming any from the electric transmission lines, and can supply industrial systems.

His new revolutionary system only needed the power from four conventional 6-volts car batteries. Gray claimed that his new innovation would be able to generate as much power and torque as the conventional internal combustion engine of the same size and weight.

Gray also predicted that the production costs of his EMA would be close to those of the regular internal combustion engines. But, on the other hand, the maintenance costs would be dramatically less. The EMA also promises to solve the world’s pollution problem, providing a highly efficient, super clean system that doesn’t produce any exhaust. When development is completed, it would provide underdeveloped nations an inexpensive power generation system. It might as well replace all current power generation systems being used.

Lightning &”Energy Spikes”:
In discretion of the operation of the EMA motor system, Gray said it was more like recreating lightning. The idea was to build up great amounts of high potential static charges and use it to power his motor.

Richard B. Hackenberger, Sr., vice-president of engineering for EVGray Enterprises, Inc. explained the operation of this motor furthermore. High voltage power is put through the system’s electrical circuitry to produce what he described as a series of high-voltage energy spikes.

These spikes are then transferred to a small control unit which is responsible for the motor’s operations. That controller would be the equivalent of the distributor of the internal combustion engine system, regulating the spikes and determining their polarity and then transmit them to electromagnets housed in the engine’s core.

In the mean time, the recharging system recharges the batteries using 60 to 120 amp pulses. Electromagnets are stationed on both the stator and the rotor of the motor. With a precise control of spikes entering these magnets, it’s possible to utilize the attraction and repulsive forces of the two sets of magnets to provide the motion and generation of horsepower.

The recycle/regeneration system kicks in as soon as the motor starts turning, starting the charging process of the batteries. The pressure in the main cylinder is maintained at half-pound of air pressure to prevent water from condensing inside. Another important aspect of this motor is it doesn’t heat up, the motor operates with full capabilities at 170 Degrees Fahrenheit, when the temperature of the surroundings is around 90 degrees.

The engine actually generates electricity each time the magnets are jolted with the energy spikes, as some charges make it back into the battery in pulses of 60 amps or even higher. The batteries used to power the EMA motor were designed f by McCulloch Electronic Corporation of Los Angeles after intensive researches and testing. They set their eyes on the model 110-75 Energy Center. It was said that it had a very long lifespan could produce great amounts of power despite its small volume and light weight as it used ultra-light weight plastic casings.

The battery also included extra large plates which were separated by glass-rubber separators, as well as a specially formulated lead oxide composition. Two of the four 6-volts batteries were used for motor operations while the other two were used as reservoirs. Furthermore, Mallory Electric Corporation of Carson City, Nevada played a great roll in the pursuit of new electronic pulsing systems.

Long Range & Powerful:
The idea of electric powered cars isn’t something new. It was the fact of large, heavy batteries that made it impractical, especially when such batteries also made it impossible for long range driven vehicles. The maximum range of the present electric driven cars was not more than 150 miles, running at 40 miles per hour. That range was highly affected by the number of times it was used, accelerations and the topography of the roads it’s being driven on.
