  • Abstract
    The work of three leaders in the search for a new energy source, spanning a full century, is examined. Nikola Tesla, T. Henry Moray, and Thomas E. Bearden, among others, have claimed the existence of another source of energy besides those presently in use. This source is the energy contained in apparently empty space. The concepts of each of the three are discussed.<>
