I posted earlier about Moray needing a ground. Another article says otherwise.

" What sort of an apparatus is Moray's Radiant Energy Device?
Briefly, it would appear to be similar to a radio receiving set of
power proportions.
It is composed of two coils of wire, or inductancies. It
contains several condensers, or capacitors, of different sizes.
There is a detector tube, or electronic valve, and two
oscillator tubes. Added to this is a "bar of silver and a bar of
copper", a starting device, and a step down electrical transformer,
reported to be 1000-to-1, primary to secondary.
All of this is enclosed in a box measuring about 30 inches long
by 16 inches wide by 16 inches high. It weighs about 50 pounds.
There are no moving parts. Moray says there are no dangerous
radiations surrounding the box when it is in operation.
Many persons have looked inside the box. Several have made
more than a cursory examination of its contents - except for the
detector tube!
The inductances are about eight and 10 inches in diameter. They
are composed of several layers of wire. The diameter of the wire is
much smaller than necessary to carry anything like 50 kilowatts of
ordinary commercial electricity.
Probably, there is a direct relationship between the size of the
wire and the number of turns of it on each coil. Further, it can be
assumed the distance separating the two coils is important, as well
as the direction in which the coils are wound.
Moray is silent as to the materials used in his capacitors or
condensers. Neither does he tell their capacities. They vary in
size but this is not indicative of capacity!
If one part of the apparatus is more important than another I
would conclude it is the tubes or valves. Moray will not say much
about these. He admits they do not contain an electrically heated
filament whose radiations provide the means of carrying currents to
different parts of the tube and which produce the valve action.

How, then, is this valve action produced? Moray does not say.
I have learned, from other sources, of Moray's purchase of
radioactive materials.
I have been informed by one source that Moray uses these
radioactivities as the "carrying-currents" within his tubes. Exactly
what the radioactive materials may be, I have not learned as yet.
Some say it is a uranium compound; others deny this. What is
more, we do not know whether the detector tube and the oscillators
use the same materials.
Being cold tubes, it can be assumed they are not vacuum tubes.
However, Moray does have vacuum pumps in his laboratory. The tubes
may be filled with gas. But if they are filled with a gas, what gas?
These tubes, especially the detector, seem to be the weakest
links in the chain of parts in the Moray system. By far the greater
number of times the demonstration apparatus has stopped because of
troubles, it appeared the trouble lay in the detector tube.
Moray does not allow anyone to see the detector tube -
apparently the big secret of the device lies there!
At the same time, the least understood of the device's mysteries
is the function of the bar of silver and the bar of copper set side
by side.
Are they "true" copper and silver? Or are they alloys -possibly
treated with the very radiant energy they may help to produce? Have
they been transmuted in some way? Are they only decoys? Are they a
special type of air condenser? Are their lengths, widths,
thicknesses, as well as their distance apart, important? All of
these questions, and many, many more, flood into one's mind - and
remain unanswered!
Early in his experiments Mr. Moray used both an antenna and a
ground connection. He no longer uses either. This eliminates the
possibility that he taps either current from power lines or from
radio transmitters. "
Haven't read the rest of this thread, but seems Moray had more in common with Mark device than I realized.
