What power levels did
Dr. Rife use in his Rife Machines?
![]() |
According to the documents we have, Dr. Rife’s #4 Rife Machine was listed to be able to output as much as 400 watts. When the test for B. Typhosis was made it was listed that they used 400 watts. The milliamp meter was listed at 450 milliamps for those 400 watts. Since that equipment would have only been about fifty percent efficient then the true power output from the ray tube would not have been more that about 200 watts, not 400 watts.
The instruments built by Beam Ray Corporation in the 1930’s output, at the most, about 40 watts out of the ray tube. The 1950s AZ-58 Life Labs instrument and the Aubrey Scoon 1940’s instrument also only output about 40 watts. Because some of Dr. Rife’s information about instrument power levels is confusing, most have believed Dr. Rife’s Machines put out 400 to 600 watts to the ray tube: however, the new information from the building of some of these instruments shows this is not correct. The problem has been that the people who wrote down this information were incorrectly giving the power usage of Dr. Rife’s Machines as the output power. Dr. Rife’s Machines used generally about 400 to 600 watts but they only output about 40 to 100 watts out of the ray tube. The Rife Ray #4 did output more power but this was the exception not the rule. In the paper entitled “Development of the Rife Ray” it states:
“The frequencies were generated by a tube oscillator with many stages [5 stages] of amplification, the final stage being a 50 watt output tube.” (Development of the Rife Ray and use in devitalising of pathogenic micro-organisms)
This part of the description is of his pre-1935 instrument. The output tube was not the ray tube. It appears from the documents that Dr. Rife’s pre-1935 instruments did not output any more power than about 50 watts out of the ray tube. He said he lit the tube from another power source then input the frequencies into the ray tube. When Dr. Rife, John Crane and John Marsh were working on sea water conversion - a process that used frequencies - they boosted the output power in the instrument. Concerning that instrument and some 1930’s Beam Ray instruments that Dr. Yale had increased the power level on, Dr. Rife said the following:
RIFE: “Now this outfit here - the way we have it boosted up here now with an extreme lot of power behind the actual output that is coming out of the thing...I wouldn’t want to use this - or I wouldn’t want to use this instrument here the way it is souped up there for this salt water proposition to treat a patient with.”GONIN: “No.”
RIFE: “You can get beyond the limit.”
GONIN: “Yes, quite.”
CRANE: “That’s what Dr. Yale did. You see, he stepped it up and up and up…”
RIFE: “When Verne Thompson used to go down there and take care of Yale’s machines - when he began stepping them up and so...where you get up into that extreme power…oh yes, that is not good. With the power that is in these [50 to 100 watts of power coming out of the ray tube], there is absolutely no harm because I had my microscope here - I had my tube [ray tube] right here in front of it - oh, about 11 or 12 inches away from the slide in the microscope and here I was with this thing all around like that and that tube going here and my specimens and the microscope year after year tuning that thing and it never harmed me any.” (1950’s Gonin, Rife, Crane and Marsh Paper #27-32)
Because Dr. Yale’s 1936-39 Beam Ray Corporation Rife Machines were modified they were putting out a lot more power than Dr. Rife felt was safe. We do not know how Dr. Yale had his machines modified so it is not possible to know the exact power output they had. But he must have been exceeding the power output of the Rife Ray #4 which could output more than 200 watts (true power). It may be that Dr. Rife was just overly cautious but his statement should be considered when anyone starts using power levels in excess of 200 watts true power output..
