What happened to Edwin Gray? Can his invention save the world from global warming?

Nobody's invention, no matter what it was, could alter nature!
I have looked at the link, and a video on that page that Liss refers to.
It is quite painful to watch, as the quality is so poor.
It does prove to me however that he (Edwin Gray), was just another conman.
It looks like he was only demonstrating some already well known electrical effects on what happens to insulators like plastic when a high D.C. voltage is applied across it's faces.
As the voltage is increased, the insulator begins to distort.
A large instantaneous voltage applied would cause a very rapid distortion and cause the disk to jump.
The higher the applied voltage, the greater the distortion, hence the higher it would jump.
This process also works in reverse.
If you strike the insulator to distort it, a voltage is produced across it.
Some insulators and materials are much better than others.
This process is used in nearly every piece of electronic equipment today, including the computer you are using right now!
What is used in electronics is either quartz, or ceramic.
Even an electronic cigarette lighter uses this principle to generate the spark to ignite the gas.
So once again, I have to say that basic physics can not be altered by wishful thinking or anything else.
