Jim Murray
Biography
Jim Murray is an American inventor and electrical engineer who holds the US patent for the Dynaflux Alternator and co-developed the SERPS system with Paul Babcock. Murray's Dynaflux design uses a unique armature configuration that forces magnetic flux to move parallel to the rotation axis rather than perpendicular, fundamentally reducing back-EMF and Lenz's Law braking effects. He is a regular presenter at the Energy Science & Technology Conference and continues active research into resonant power systems and transformer design.

Jim Murray & Paul Babcock
Switched Energy Resonant Power Supply demonstrated at the 2014 ESTC. Uses a power transformer to run loads while storing energy in capacitors, which discharge back to neutralize the load seen by the power supply. Babcock's 5-nanosecond ultra-fast switching is the key innovation.
