Basically Moray device was made of capacitors, inductors and multiply connected specially "balanced" tubes. There was also a special semiconductor material he allegedly used which was also called Swedish stone which he obtained while he was in Mormon mission to Sweden. There is a lot of mystery surrounding his device because he kept the ultimate core mechanism of his device secret and took it to his grave.
If there were any form of an input to the device, it may be perhaps the six feet high and 100 meter long antenna and a several feet deep copper peg embedded to the ground. Even if there were a strong powered radio station nearby, the power that could have been obtained from such a configuration wouldn't be more than several watts if not several tens of watts. So, 5kW of continuous energy by lighting up 50 of 100 Watt bulbs is no less than extraordinary. If this is not an exciting physics problem, I don't know what is.

Early Reports on Anomalous Physical Phenomena and Devices
A research in science is like a work of a detective of the nature trying to solve the mystery that the universe is hiding from us. So we can not afford to miss any clues that it may provide to us. The more outrageous the claim, the more intriguing the clues can be. Dismissing such a clue without investigating it in depth would be considered tantamount to a sloppy work of a detective in a crime investigation.
In a cold snowy winter in Dayton Ohio in 1998, I was reading an email sent by a reader of the theory of dipole gravity in the internet. The content of the email was unbelievable. In the 1920s, an inventor named Thomas Henry Moray invented a device that has nothing more than an antenna and a ground wire connected to his device succeeded in lighting up 50 of 100W bulbs demonstrated in front of the public.
What is this phenomenon? Our known physics must be totally wrong for this to happen. Or, the device must be an elaborate hoax that I was determined to find out. The device must have some hidden wires or induction scheme that makes it possible to tap energy from the surrounding power lines. However, knowing the possibility of this type of an objection, Moray successfully demonstrated his device in a remote hill side area where there was no power line or the strong powered radio station.
Something extraordinary must be going on in his device to make this to happen. Like the jets in the remote galaxy, we have a deep mystery right in front of our nose that is begging for an explanation. I encourage readers to Google search for Thomas Henry Moray and read the documents in detail.
The following is a partial list of the known devices to date. These are the ones at least passed the obvious fraud test, because of the fact that there are multiple witnesses in each cases including scientists and engineers.
So, what are we missing? This is a journey of a detective searching for the answers to the mystery of the nature that is reluctant to divulge its secret.
