A Description of the Newman Motor
|
|||
|
|
by Roger Hastings, Ph.D.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This document is intended to provide information regarding the
|
|||
|
|
energy device invented by Mr. Joseph Newman of Lucedale,
|
|||
|
|
Mississippi. I have prepared the material in response to numerous
|
|||
|
|
requests for information. The number of these requests has
|
|||
|
|
increased dramatically since Newman's public demonstration of his
|
|||
|
|
motor at Washington, D.C., in May, 1985. This paper provides a
|
|||
|
|
personal history to date of my involvement with Newman, presents
|
|||
|
|
data which was taken at the Washington demonstration, provides an
|
|||
|
|
analysis of the data, and presents my current thoughts regarding
|
|||
|
|
a mathmatical description of Newman's motor.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
HISTORY
|
|||
|
|
I first met Mr. Newman in September, 1981. Newman is an inventor,
|
|||
|
|
and he had travelled to Minnesota to present a toy invention to
|
|||
|
|
Tonka Toys Corp. My brother, John, was at the time in charge of
|
|||
|
|
new products for Tonka, and he interviewed Newman. John and Joe
|
|||
|
|
wound up discussing their respective theories of matter and
|
|||
|
|
energy, and Joe's motor. At that time, Joe was looking for people
|
|||
|
|
to verify the operation of his motor for the patent office. He
|
|||
|
|
invited John to Lucedale, but John said that his brother (me) had
|
|||
|
|
a Ph.D. in physics, and therefore better credentials to offer for
|
|||
|
|
the testing of a motor.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
My first reaction to the news of Newman's energy producing motor
|
|||
|
|
was quite negative. I had been a professor for four years, and
|
|||
|
|
had encountered several people with "world saving" energy devices
|
|||
|
|
which they wanted evaluated by the University. In all cases such
|
|||
|
|
devices had proven to be inoperative as net energy producers.
|
|||
|
|
Newman offered to fly me to Lucedale to test his motor, and I
|
|||
|
|
responded that he would be wasting his money and our time because
|
|||
|
|
I would certainly prove him wrong. He insisted, and I complied.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The motor that I saw on that first visit was a monument to Rube
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Page 1
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Goldberg, and to an incredible personal effort at building such a
|
|||
|
|
large device. It consisted of five thousand pounds of #5 gauge
|
|||
|
|
wire wound as a solenoid. Within the solenoid, a 600 pound
|
|||
|
|
ceramic magnet rotated on questionable bearings. The bearings
|
|||
|
|
were mounted in a wooden structure. On the shaft of the rotor was
|
|||
|
|
a mechanical commutator consisting of three home made wheels, and
|
|||
|
|
brushes whose tension was adjusted with rubber bands. The
|
|||
|
|
commutator received its power from a bank of six volt lantern
|
|||
|
|
batteries. As the huge magnet rotated, the whole structure
|
|||
|
|
creaked and groaned. At that time, Newman was taking energy
|
|||
|
|
output from a secondary coil wrapped around the motor primary
|
|||
|
|
solenoid. I measured the voltage and current input simultaneously
|
|||
|
|
on an oscilloscope. The output load was a resistor, and I
|
|||
|
|
similarly measured the output voltage and current. Multiplying
|
|||
|
|
voltage and current to find power, I determined that the motor
|
|||
|
|
was about 90% efficient.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Newman claimed that his motor was not performing up to par on
|
|||
|
|
that day, and said that he would ask me back when he had the
|
|||
|
|
device tuned up properly. Although I had proven that the motor at
|
|||
|
|
that time was not producing a net energy gain, several aspects of
|
|||
|
|
Newman and his motor were fascinating. First, the motor was not
|
|||
|
|
designed efficiently. Large mechanical losses were evident, and a
|
|||
|
|
90% efficiency seemed highly unusual. Second, the huge magnet was
|
|||
|
|
rotating at some 60 RPM with an input power of only a few watts.
|
|||
|
|
Finally, Newman himself, while unconventional, seemed highly
|
|||
|
|
intelligent, definately a creative thinker, and intensely
|
|||
|
|
dedicated to his scientific work. He informed me that he had
|
|||
|
|
evolved his theory and filed for a patent before he had built a
|
|||
|
|
prototype motor. (I will discuss his theory later.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I travelled again to Lucedale and indeed Newman had tuned up his
|
|||
|
|
motor. From that point foreward I consistantly measured
|
|||
|
|
efficiencies in excess of 100%. At this point I began an effort
|
|||
|
|
to attract scientific interest in Newman's motor, and to aid him
|
|||
|
|
in obtaining a patent. I wrote several affidavits and documents
|
|||
|
|
describing my measurements and generally supporting Newman's
|
|||
|
|
efforts. I have spent countless hours of my spare time over the
|
|||
|
|
past four years on this effort, withour renumeration. It takes
|
|||
|
|
little immagination to understand the benefit to the human race
|
|||
|
|
which would result from an economical device which generates
|
|||
|
|
energy with no external input. In my opinion, Newman's motor has
|
|||
|
|
performed well enough that the scientific community should be
|
|||
|
|
showing great interest.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Over the years, a number of generic questions have repeatedly
|
|||
|
|
been asked. Is there a hidden energy source? The device can be
|
|||
|
|
viewed from all sides, and there are no external connections. The
|
|||
|
|
motor has been transported across country, and works equally well
|
|||
|
|
at all locations. The motor has been duplicated by at least one
|
|||
|
|
other person, who claims that it works. Newman would not be
|
|||
|
|
acting in his own self interest to simultaneously invite
|
|||
|
|
publicity and commit fraud. It is generally known that Newman is
|
|||
|
|
sincere and honest.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Why isn't the motor running itself without the need for
|
|||
|
|
batteries? While in concept the motor should be capable of
|
|||
|
|
running itself without batteries, the technological problems have
|
|||
|
|
not been solved which would allow such operation. In a sense,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Page 2
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
however, the motor does run itself. The motor has shown the
|
|||
|
|
capacity to charge up the batteries which provide voltage to the
|
|||
|
|
motor. Tests have been run in which up to 15 amp-hours of output
|
|||
|
|
have been drawn from the motor, and in which the six volt lantern
|
|||
|
|
batteries powering the motor have shown no evidence of an energy
|
|||
|
|
loss (the battery condition was verified in the labs of Ray-O-Vac
|
|||
|
|
Battery Co.). Tests have been run in which apparently dead
|
|||
|
|
batteries have been connected to the motor. The motor has charged
|
|||
|
|
up these batteries to the point where they can power other
|
|||
|
|
devices. The same batteries can be drained down (e.g. through a
|
|||
|
|
resistor), then be re-connected to the Newman motor and be
|
|||
|
|
charged up while they run the motor.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Why isn't Newman's motor powering a home or auto? In my opinion
|
|||
|
|
such a demonstration would convince all skeptics, and create a
|
|||
|
|
great demand for the motor. Newman has proceeded in this
|
|||
|
|
direction. He has built at least four prototype motors to study
|
|||
|
|
the effect of varying motor parameters. He has steadily improved
|
|||
|
|
upon his large prototype, and has succeded in generating up to
|
|||
|
|
about 200 watts of power. By contrast, an average home requires
|
|||
|
|
one to three thousand watts on the average, with peak demands of
|
|||
|
|
up to 20 thousand watts. In this regard, it would be extremely
|
|||
|
|
helpful for establishments with high tech capabilities to aid Joe
|
|||
|
|
in scaling up the motor output. His approach has been to reduce
|
|||
|
|
the physical size of the motor to make it economical, and the
|
|||
|
|
output power. His greatest technical problem has been high
|
|||
|
|
voltage switching.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Why does Newman keep his technical process a secret? This
|
|||
|
|
question was answered at Washington in May, when Newman revealed
|
|||
|
|
the construction details of his motor to the public. He has
|
|||
|
|
published a book ("The Energy Machine of Joseph Newman",
|
|||
|
|
available from Newman Publishing, Rt. 1, Box 52, Lucedale
|
|||
|
|
Mississippi 39452), in which he describes his theory and his
|
|||
|
|
motor. Joe had kept the process secret to avoid patent
|
|||
|
|
infringement. Although his patent is still pending in the U.S.,
|
|||
|
|
it has issued in other countries. Presumably his patent rights
|
|||
|
|
will be protected in the U.S., although it should be noted that
|
|||
|
|
his motor is being copied by others, so that issuance of his
|
|||
|
|
patent in the U.S. is of immediate importance. Garland Robinnett
|
|||
|
|
of CBS news in New Orleans has run a number of reports on
|
|||
|
|
Newman's struggle with the U.S. Patent office.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I do not fully understand why the scientific community in this
|
|||
|
|
country has not shown more interest in Newman's motor. He has had
|
|||
|
|
support from about 30 independent scientists and engineers, most
|
|||
|
|
of whom own their own engineering or consulting firms. He has
|
|||
|
|
also received some financial support from investors, who
|
|||
|
|
represent a range of interests, including oil and electrical
|
|||
|
|
power interests. I know of no one who has observed Newman's motor
|
|||
|
|
and taken measurements who has been able to show that his claims
|
|||
|
|
are invalid. On the contrary, most observers come in as skeptics,
|
|||
|
|
and leave as believers. Over the years my colleagues have
|
|||
|
|
consistantly provided me with arguments questioning the validity
|
|||
|
|
of my measurements. I have responded to these questions by
|
|||
|
|
modifying the measurement proceedures and creating new tests. In
|
|||
|
|
all cases the Newman device has passed the tests to my
|
|||
|
|
satisfaction. In my opinion, Newman has at least discovered some
|
|||
|
|
interesting and unusual new phenomena, and at most has discovered
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

a process which will end man's dependence upon limited and
