Will Joseph Newman's energy machine revolutionize the world?
|
|
By Raad Cawthon Staff Writer
|
|
|
|
LUCEDALE, Miss. - In the piney woods southwest of this southwest
|
|
Mississippi town, off the broken blacktop and two miles down a
|
|
rutted sand and dirt road, through three gates, past the "Keep Out"
|
|
and "Beware of the Dogs" signs, smack in the middle of nowhere,
|
|
sits Joseph Westley Newman, a man who says he can change the world.
|
|
|
|
In this land where heat devils beat from the ground in waves, Newman
|
|
says he can bring water to the desert places of the world, eliminate
|
|
poverty, and improve the quality of everyone's life. If only
|
|
Newman's enemies will let him. Newman does not look the part of a
|
|
savior. He sports hair waved across his head in the style of a
|
|
Baptist deacon.
|
|
|
|
In the heat Newman is calm, cool and certain. He carries a gaze
|
|
direct as a laser. He says, "What I have done will revolutionize the
|
|
world." What has Joe Newman done?
|
|
|
|
He has built the Revolutionary Energy Machine. His government,
|
|
Newman's proclaimed enemy, says his machines are frauds. Not so,
|
|
says Newman. Instead they are the bootstraps by which mankind can
|
|
pull itself up. Across the tidy, tile-floored workshop from Newman
|
|
sits a copper-sheathed canister the height and diameter of a fire
|
|
hydrant.
|
|
|
|
At the far end of the workshop, swaddled in miles of copper wire,
|
|
is another machine, a 9,000-pound version the size of a five-person
|
|
hot tub, its circular rim topped with a circle of light bulbs.
|
|
|
|
These are two of Newman's Revolutionary Energy Machines, which he
|
|
knows will free the world from drudgery and make the First, Second,
|
|
and Third World as one.
|
|
|
|
It is these machines and others like them, using Newman's same
|
|
revolutionary theory, that Newman claims produce more energy than
|
|
they consume. That would allow men to light cities for pennies,
|
|
power cars without pollution or gasoline, drive machines to make
|
|
salt water fresh. But it is his own government, represented by the
|
|
National Bureau of Standards and the U.S. Patent Office, that
|
|
Newman says is his and mankind's foe.
|

|
|
|
It is his own government that Newman claims has waged a seven-year
|
|
war to keep his invention from improving the world. "All I am doing
|
|
is opening doors," Newman says.
|
|
|
|
The government, through its unwillingness to grant him a patent,
|
|
says Newman's machine, which he has invested about $700,000 in
|
|
developing and defending, does not do what he claims.
|
|
|
|
"The NBS results show that the device behaves in a manner which is
|
|
entirely consistent with the well-established laws of physics," says
|
|
the report, released June 26.
|
|
|
|
The "well-established" laws of physics say a machine cannot put out
|
|
more energy than it consumes.
|
|
|
|
Government report `a mockery of justice'
|
|
|
|
Newman says he knew what the NBS report would show. As a matter of
|
|
fact, so certain was Newman that he issued a press release before
|
|
the report became public saying it was a "mockery of justice."
|
|
|
|
The inventor says he is certain his machine works, can demonstrate
|
|
that it works, and is willing to defend his machine in public debate
|
|
against anyone from the NBS or the U.S. Patent Office or any
|
|
university or anyone who claims to know what he is talking about.
|
|
|
|
Newman has taken his Revolutionary Energy Machine on the road,
|
|
demonstrating it in the Louisiana Superdome and in Atlanta.
|
|
|
|
In each place he challenged an expert on physics to debate his
|
|
theories in public. Nobody showed up. Newman, who was raised in
|
|
Mobile, dropped out of high school and left home at 15, went in the
|
|
armed services, roughnecked in the oil fields, got a degree in
|
|
accounting and economics, and decided - in his early 20s, after
|
|
casting around through several jobs - that he wanted to be an
|
|
inventor.
|
|
|
|
Over the course of the next two decades he registered patents for
|
|
several inventions - a machine to pick oranges, plastic barbells, a
|
|
new type of knife - and pursued his self-taught odyssey into
|
|
electromagnetics.
|
|
|
|
Etched in the concrete of Newman's workshop walkway is "Question +
|
|
Thinking = Truth." Newman says that because he is not burdened by
|
|
conventional teachings, his mind is free to challenge questions
|
|
without the constraints conventional physicists place on themselves.
|
|
|
|
Newman already has won over a number of physicists, electrical
|
|
engineers and chemists who have seen his Revolutionary Energy
|
|
Machine and heard his explanation.
|
|
|
|
Dr. Roger Hastings, a physicist with Sperry-Univac Corp., has
|
|
conducted hundreds of tests on Newman's machine. His opinion? "The
|
|
future of the human race may be drastically uplifted by the large-
|
|
scale commercial development of this invention," he says.
|
|
|
|
And Nicholaos Tsoupas, a physicist who works at Brookhaven
|
|
Laboratory in New York and once taught at Yale University, said, "I
|
|
know for a fact that many scientists consider his invention
|
|
|
|
Page 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unorthodox and unacceptable, possibly because his theories do not
|
|
fully comport with today's university teachings.
|
|
|
|
However, Mr. Newman has demonstrated that his invention works the
|
|
way it claims. The Patent Office should not have denied him a
|
|
patent." But the Patent Office did.
|
|
|
|
Newman applied for a patent for his machine March 22, 1979. In
|
|
January 1982 the Patent Office denied him the patent, claiming his
|
|
invention "smacked of perpetual motion." Newman appealed the ruling
|
|
and in 1983 filed suit against the Patent Office.
|
|
|
|
Federal District Judge Thomas Jackson, who was hearing the case,
|
|
appointed a special master to evaluate Newman's machine. The special
|
|
master, William Schuyler Jr., a former commissioner of the U.S.
|
|
Patent Office, concluded that the machine did what Newman claimed
|
|
and recommended that a patent be granted.
|
|
|
|
Jackson, in an action that many people familiar with similar patent
|
|
cases claim was almost unheard of, refused to accept the
|
|
recommendation of Schuyler and sent the issue back to the Patent
|
|
Office for more study.
|
|
|
|
In October 1985, Jackson ordered Newman to turn his machine over to
|
|
the NBS for testing. Jackson's order also prevented Newman or any of
|
|
his representatives from attending the tests. But when the 30-day
|
|
period passed and the machine had not been tested, Newman's
|
|
attorney, John Flannery, attempted to retrieve the machine. Jackson
|
|
ordered it impounded.
|
|
|
|
After finally testing it, the Patent Office on June 26 issued a
|
|
report claiming that the machine does not do what Newman says it
|
|
will. "The Bureau of Standards is coming into this tainted," Newman
|
|
says, noting that he still has not recovered the machine the NBS has
|
|
had since 1985. "I have spent 21 years working on this machine and
|
|
seven trying to get it patented. I am devoted to this."
|
|
|
|
Why give away a billion-dollar theory?
|
|
|
|
So devoted is he that he has written a book outlining the secret of
|
|
his machine. The red-covered, hard-bound book is titled in gold:
|
|
"Joseph Newman's Revolutionary Energy Machine."
|
|
|
|
Inside, the pages are packed with diagrams, equations, theories and
|
|
philosophies on the power of electromagnetics. "Anyone with any
|
|
knowledge of electromagnetic energy can read this book and build a
|
|
machine," Newman says.
|
|
|
|
They also can study Newman's theories about how the weather can be
|
|
controlled by directing electromagnetic energy and how Newman
|
|
believes the present educational system trains originality out of
|
|
children.
|
|
|
|
Why would someone develop a theory that he claims will change the
|
|
world, a theory worth billions of dollars, and then give it away in
|
|
a book? "Because the technical process is 10,000 times more
|
|
important than the machine itself," Newman says.
|
|
|
|
He points to his head. "If I keep the knowledge up here, what will
|
|
|
|
Page 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
happen to it if something happens to me? If you understand the
|
|
technical process, then you don't just copy what I have done, you
|
|
can apply it in many different ways."
|
|
|
|
Newman's machine, if it works, truly could change the face of the
|
|
world. Energy would be dirt cheap and non-centralized. Multinational
|
|
oil cartels would be restructured or collapse. Utility companies
|
|
that have invested billions in nuclear energy would see the plants
|
|
as costly millstones, dragging them into bankruptcy.
|
|
|
|
Great stockpiles of coal, as well as the companies that mine it,
|
|
would lie almost useless. So it is little wonder that Newman, who
|
|
says he has gotten mysterious, anonymous threatening telephone
|
|
calls lately, thinks there is a tremendous conspiracy, worldwide in
|
|
scope, to prevent his invention from coming into widespread usage.
|
|
|
|
"My machine is a threat in terms of changing the financial structure
|
|
and the power structure of the world," he says calmly. "I believe
|
|
this conspiracy goes all the way to the president."
|
|
|
|
Newman has written every president since Lyndon Johnson stating that
|
|
this new energy technology was on the horizon. Most of his letters
|
|
went unanswered, presumably ignored.
|
|
|
|
However, in 1983 Newman sent Reagan a package of material about his
|
|
machine. In a letter he asked the administration's help "for the
|
|
people of the world."
|
|
|
|
Included in the package was a videotape of the machine that had
|
|
aired on a New Orleans television news show. Newman got the package
|
|
back with a form letter indicating that it had not been opened.
|
|
|
|
But when he opened the package to file the material, Newman found
|
|
something he had not included. "There was a video review sheet from
|
|
an office in the White House," Newman says, showing the sheet. "It
|
|
indicated that not only had the package been looked at, but it had
|
|
been looked at rather closely."
|
|
|
|
The review sheet states, among other things: "Some scientists
|
|
believe this invention could change the world."
|
|
|
|
"When I called to find out what the review sheet was all about,
|
|
the fellow at the White House was furious that I had seen it,"
|
|
Newman says. "They wanted to know how I had gotten hold of a copy
|
|
of that sheet."
|
|
|
|
A White House spokesman said hundreds of videos are received by the
|
|
White House annually and that many of them are reviewed by
|
|
volunteers.
|
|
|
|
"What is on the review sheet is not the opinion of anyone on the
|
|
White House staff," the spokesman said. "It is merely a review of
|
|
whatever is on the tape."
|
|
|
|
`People are trained not to accept change'
|
|
|
|
But Newman is sure that a conspiracy exists. He leans back in a
|
|
chair in his workshop and ruminates. "It's strange that they are
|
|
capping all these oil wells now," he says. "The reasons they are
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
giving, the dropping prices and such, are the same ones you've
|
|
heard for three, four years. I don't see one factual piece of
|
|
evidence for this to be happening.
|
|
|
|
"I'll bet in the last two years, if you could find out who's buying
|
|
the copper mines, who's buying material for magnets, . . . I'd bet
|
|
you anything that when the wash is out, the oil companies have
|
|
bought them."
|
|
|
|
Newman says his machine is not a perpetual motion machine and that
|
|
it does not create energy, two claims that have hurt its image.
|
|
|
|
Instead, it is a new way of tapping the electromagnetic energy field
|
|
that is already there. Very simply put, the machine works like
|
|
this:
|
|
|
|
Power is used to rotate two magnets wrapped in copper wire.
|
|
|
|
The rotating magnets and the atoms that align within the
|
|
copper wire create an electromagnetic field that can be
|
|
tapped.
|
|
|
|
The revolutionary aspect of the machine is that the amount of energy
|
|
needed to align the atoms and rotate the magnets creating the
|
|
energy field is less than the energy created. So there is a net gain
|
|
in power created.
|
|
|
|
Theoretically, with Newman's technology you could produce an
|
|
unlimited, self-perpetuating source of pollution-free energy.
|
|
|
|
"I expect to have one of these machines running a car within six
|
|
months," Newman says matter-of-factly. The fight for a patent for
|
|
the Revolutionary Energy Machine has become more than a fight to get
|
|
an invention patented.
|
|
|
|
Newman says the battle with the government has given him a new
|
|
insight into the way people are taught to think in this country.
|
|
|
|
The battle has defined for Newman a philosophy. "People have been
|
|
trained, are being trained, not to accept change," he says. "My
|
|
powers of reason are greater than many people's because my feet are
|
|
not bound by traditional thought.
|
|
|
|
Newman sits back and looks out the window of his workshop, past his
|
|
Revolutionary Energy Machine, out into the pine trees. "To be a
|
|
good scientist, you have to be a humble person. You have to believe
|
|
that you don't know everything," he says.
