Ancient mystery solved?

Pyramid Mysteries

Taft man says ‘Murphy Mover' explains pyramids

By Doug Keeler

A retired navy man's musings on riding a backyard swing as a young boy gave him the idea for an invention that he says can explain one of histories enduring mysteries - the construction of the great pyramids of Egypt.


James Murphy said his Apex Delivery and Lifting System - or Murphy Mover - is more than just an explanation. It's a nearly energy free way of lifting and moving large objects.

It doesn't take much power and doesn't need any major outside energy - just gravity.

The problem is getting it publicized.

He's built small versions of the Murphy Mover, but would like to get a grant to get the funding to build and operate a large scale one.

“If you have the most valuable nickel in the world, and if nobody knows about it, it's just worth a nickel” he said.

That's the hold up for Murphy's invention, which he has demonstrated and shown to several experts.

While no one calls it an unqualified success, no one has laughed it off either.



They do want to see some more proof.

So does Murphy.

He's trying to get a scientific paper on the Murphy Mover published to attract the attention that could lead to a grant to demonstrate his theory and models.

Murphy is looking for someone with an engineering or technical background to help him write an article for publication in a robotics magazine.


Murphy came across his idea reminiscing about riding his swing set as a young boy. As he swung higher and higher, the swing set started moving -- frightening to a young boy, but a revelation to an inventor.

“I would swing so high that the back legs would come off the ground, then the front legs would come off the ground.”

Years later, as he looked back on it, he realized what was happening - gravity acting on his weight made the swing set walk.

He mused on that thought and ended up with his invention, the Murphy Mover.

He said that the size of the mover can be increased to move stones or blocks weighing thousands of pounds just as easily as the small model he demonstrates with only a piece of a brick swinging in it.

“The principle is the same whether you're a third grader weighing 45 pounds or it's a stone weighing 3,000 pounds,” he explains.

He has shown his invention to a scientist at the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena and to an Egyptologist.

While neither has given it an unqualified endorsement, they are intrigued by his invention and his theory.

Paul Backes, the JPL professor, told Murphy “he'd never seen anything like it before.”

Murphy's invention is something unique - like a four-sided pyramid, somewhat reminiscent of the swing set that originally inspired him.

He can demonstrate how the concept operates with a small model he has, using a piece of a brick suspended in the Murphy Mover, he swings the brick, which starts the lifting system moving.
