Newman Machine: 9V battery → electromagnet → metal rod → battery

The Energy Machine of Joseph Newman is a singly-fed electric machine consisting of a permanent magnet field rotor that spins end-over-end inside a DC powered electromagnet that is both an stator and an armature.[1] Joseph "Westley"[2] Newman, the inventor of the machine, argues that rotating the magnet this way will allow mass-energy to be extracted from the coil of the electromagnet.[3] The controversy stems from the inventor's explanation of the machine's power, which rests on the assumption that the base substance for all matter and energy is the "gyroscopic particle".[3] Newman says the device could be engineered to a (mass-to-energy) "conversion efficiency" no greater 100%; the inventor and his critics believe mass-to-energy conversion efficiencies above 100% are impossible.[4] Yet, the inventor argues that there is enough mass within the coil to explain why the machine's output energy can exceed the energy needed to start it.[3] Nevertheless, critics maintain that his machine cannot give an energy output exceeding the energy from external or deliberately hidden electrical sources.[5]

Description and operation

Poles of Newman's Energy Machine

The voltage source may consist of solar panels or of one or more batteries of various types, typically arranged in series to increase the voltage. The voltage source is connected to one end of the electromagnet. The other end of the electromagnet brushes against the bar that hangs the permanent magnet rotor. The bar spins relative to a commutator which provides an intermittent electrical link between the bar and the other end of the voltage source. The magnetic axes of the electromagnet and the permanent magnet are both perpendicular with the bar.

Experimentalist Jean-Louis Naudin, built and tested his own replica of the Newman machine, and according to him, the machine can be set to three modes of operation, the first two being motor and generator and the last being a hybrid of the two, which is determined by special tuning of the firing pulse (when current is sent to the coil). Commutator configurations vary, and the placement, timing, and number of interrupts determine its generated torque and/or current.[6] A senior staff scientist from Sperry Corporation said that when the coil's magnetic field collapses, it produces a voltage spike and a current surge throughout itself. The surge, he adds, serves as a "karate chop" to turn the rotor. In a more developed version of the Newman machine, the commutator switches the current through the coil twice every magnet rotation and it also connects and disconnects the circuit 24 times for each rotation.[7]

Mass and energy as gyroscopic particles

Joseph W. Newman said that prior to the development of his machine, he developed a "Unified Mechanical Field Theory" that uses gyroscopic laws to give "mechanical" explanations of "Gravity, Electricity, Magnetism, the Wave/Particle Theory of Light, Inertia, and Heat & Thermodynamics"[8] The concept of "gyroscopic particles" that behave like gears along magnetic field lines is central to Joseph Newman's "mechanical" explanation of the machine and of electromagnetic phenomenon, so much so that Newman regards them as being the fundamental unit of nature. Newman has called these hypothetical particles "gyroscopic massergies" (c.f. Mass–energy equivalence).[3] He says they travel in a spiral inside the coil.[9]

Newman believes the difference between the machine's power output and its input power can be explained by the energy of gyroscopic particles released. He said this occurs when the poles of the magnet are spinning parallel to the magnetic field lines enveloping the lengths of the coil. The inventor stated the device transfers the mass-energy from the atomic domains of the conductor coil only, such that the energy the device can produce is finite and is therefore neither economically nor scientifically "free". Nevertheless, he says the energy produced is non-polluting, abundant, and inexpensive.[10][11]

History of the inventor and the invention

Prior to his electric motor, Joseph W. Newman had lived in the places of Mobile, Alabama[12] and Lucedale, Mississippi[13] where he developed a harvesting machine,[14] a fluid pump with a deformable chamber,[15] an aquatic recreational device,[16][17] a multipurpose utility knife,[18] a neck rehabilitator,[19] and a windshield rain deflector system,[20] whose patents applications were accepted.

In contrast, a United States Patent and Trademark Office patent application for Newman's electric motor was rejected, which set off a lengthy court battle involving conflicting expert opinions.[21] The court eventually requested that Newman's machine be tested by the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), now known as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NBS test program was conducted in 1986. NBS concluded that the machine did not produce over-unity energy.[22] Newman countered that he was barred from observing the test and that the NBS failed to unfasten a key component that had been grounded to the frame for shipping - implying that the test would have worked had he been allowed to participate. The inventor's position was that all actions taken by the Patent Office and N.B.S. after February 24, 1986 (the end of the 30-day test period as authorized by the U.S. Court of Appeals)—when his property was confiscated by lower Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson—were performed illegally in violation of the U.S. Court of Appeals Order.[23][24]

In its final decision, the court gave this statement:

"We conclude that Mr. Newman had a duty to raise objection, before or during testing, to any defects in the test protocol that he knew or believed would impair the results. He had a clear chance to obtain a definitive test, and to the extent that he did not take it, he can not now impeach the results that were conducted by procedures of which he had advance knowledge. If there were flaws in the NBS protocol, we do not now give controlling weight to objections that could have been raised at a time when any errors could have readily been corrected. We conclude that Mr. Newman waived or acquiesced in any purported defect in the test procedure by remaining silent throughout the test period."[25]

Newman's lawyer, John P. Flannery II of Leesburg, Va., argued that NBS was not an "impartial testing laboratory." Flannery says that neither Newman nor his representative could afford to be present for the testing due to the long testing period, and that the NBS report contained little detail about what conditions in which individual tests were run on the equipment.[7]

According to a magnet design engineer from the Magnetic Engineering Co., in Atlanta, Georgia, the NBS tests may have failed to account properly for the generated mechanical energy. The engineer has built his own version of the Newman machine. However, he said that the motor is not as effective for generating electrical energy as it is for turning a fan.[7]

During the 1980s, Newman performed several public demonstrations on television and in the New Orleans Superdome,[26] that drew much media attention.[27] Newman's quest for a technology that produces greater energy output than its electrical input was featured on CBS Evening News, All Things Considered (PBS), the TONIGHT SHOW, in LIFE Magazine, and in the Discovery Channel program titled Beyond Invention.[28][29] The World Intellectual Property Organization published a patent for the energy machine on August 31, 1983, but on March 18, 1988 it was withdrawn.[30]

Because that lawsuit necessitated on the part of the Court an analysis of complicated issues of fact of a scientific and technical nature, Judge Jackson did not feel technically qualified to make such an analysis. He called upon the U.S.Patent Office and Joseph Newman to each provide up to three nominees for a Court-appointed Special Master who could render a technical recommendation to the Court regarding Joseph Newman's energy machine technology. Subsequently, the Court did not accept Joseph Newman's nominees but did accept one of the U.S. Patent Office's nominees: a former U.S. Commissioner of the Patent Office and electrical engineer (William E. Schuyler, Jr.) with "superb credentials" according to Judge Jackson. In his Report of the Special Master, William Schuyler, Jr. wrote: "Evidence before the Patent and Trademark Office and this Court is overwhelming that Newman has built and tested a prototype of his invention in which the output energy exceeds the external input energy; there is no contradictory factual evidence."
