WASHINGTON (AP) -- Government engineers say a backwoods inventor's
|
|
amazing energy machine has a number of unique features but lacks a
|
|
critical one -- it doesn't work.
|
|
|
|
The National Bureau of Standards said Thursday that more than two
|
|
months of court-ordered testing has failed to prove Joseph W.
|
|
Newman's claims that his controversial machine produces more energy
|
|
than it consumes.
|
|
|
|
"At all conditions tested, the input power exceeded the output
|
|
power," the government's standards-setting agency said in a report.
|
|
"That is, the device did not deliver more energy than it used."
|
|
|
|
Newman, who terms himself a self-educated, backwoods inventor from
|
|
Lucedale, Miss., who used common sense to come up with his machine,
|
|
immediately rejected the test results as biased and meaningless.
|
|
|
|
The agency by its own admission used unconventional instruments and
|
|
methods to reach its conclusions, said Newman, whose quest for a
|
|
government patent has attracted national attention.
|
|
|
|
"I do not accept these results at all," Newman said in a telephone
|
|
interview. "I predicted this decision. It's just another example of
|
|
the injustice I'm fighting against."
|
|
|
|
The bureau's report said that because of unusual electrical
|
|
characteristics of the machine, it had to design a test plan and
|
|
combination of instruments specifically for Newman's non-standard
|
|
device. But it said it carefully checked the instruments to assure
|
|
the accuracy of the tests.
|
|
|
|
Newman said he would not accept results coming from unconventional
|
|
testing that could not be repeated by others.
|
|
|
|
"If I built my own test equipment and said that it proves my machine
|
|
worked, no one would give me much credit, no one would believe me,"
|
|
Newman said. "But that's what the Bureau of Standards has done and
|
|
they expect people to believe them."
|
|
|
|
The inventor has been trying for six years to get the U.S. Office
|
|
of Patents and Trademarks to issue a patent on an energy machine
|
|
that defies accepted laws of physics.
|
|
|
|
Patent examiners say the invention looks like yet another proposal
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for a perpetual motion machine, one that would produce more energy
|
|
than it uses so that, theoretically, it could run forever.
|
|
|
|
This has been the goal of inventors for centuries, but conventional
|
|
science says it is impossible.
|
|
|
|
Newman contends his device is not a perpetual motion machine, but
|
|
a revolutionary energy source that uses the previously unknown
|
|
magnetic properties of copper coils to release more energy than it
|
|
consumes.
|
|
|
|
U.S. District Judge Thomas P. Jackson, presiding over Newman's
|
|
suit against the patent office, ordered a new trial date after
|
|
getting results of the tests he ordered from the bureau.
|
|
|
|
John P. Flannery, Newman's lawyer, said Jackson set Dec. 8 as the
|
|
date for a non-jury trial to determine if the inventor will be
|
|
awarded the patent.
|
|
|
|
Flannery said he asked the judge to permit Newman to examine the
|
|
special equipment used to test the energy machine, but that Jackson
|
|
refused to order it. If the Patent Office does not allow examination
|
|
of the test devices, Flannery said, he would seek another court
|
|
order to do so.
|
|
|
|
The Bureau of Standards said that during the testing, it found that
|
|
Newman's device "behaves in a manner which is entirely consistent
|
|
with well-established laws of physics."
|
|
|
|
A device would be called 100 percent energy efficient if it simply
|
|
transmitted all the energy coming into it back to the outside, the
|
|
report said, and it would have to show an efficiency of greater than
|
|
100 percent to make more power than it consumed.
|
|
|
|
The bureau said the efficiency of Newman's machine ranged between
|
|
27 percent and 67 percent, depending upon the test being run.
|
|
|
|
Never did the energy coming out of the machine exceed the battery
|
|
power going into the device to get it running, the report said.
