    The following was received yesterday: DECLARATION FOLLOWING TESTING OF 5,000 LB AND 900 LB UNITS This letter represents a disclosure of investigations and experimentation which I have performed on Joseph Newman's energy generating machine. The fact is that every experiment which I have performed shows that the energy output of the device is indeed larger than the energy input. Some examples are: 1) The electrical energy output is measured at more than four times the electrical energy input. Note: This does not violate the Law of Conservation of Matter/Energy if one considers the source of the additional output to be the conductor coil in accordance with E=MCsquared. 2) Acting as a motor, Joseph Newman's device performed mechanical work in excess of ten times the electrical energy input. 3) Joseph Newman's device delivers over ten times the torque of a commercial D.C. permanent magnet motor rated at 80% efficiency. However, during this test Joseph Newman's device is consuming only a fraction of the input power of the commercial motor. 4) These results must be taken seriously. Joseph Newman has made the observation that huge magnetic fields may be generated with minimal power input in a large coil wound with large diameter wire. This coil creates a very large torque on a suitably large permanent magnet. In operation, the batteries powering the coil consume little power and discharge at a very slow rate. Yet the motor delivers considerable mechanical and/or electrically generated power. It is fascinating to observe that Joseph Newman has arrived at this invention on the basis of his theoretical work, coupled with years of experimentation on electromagnetic energy. He has been rigorously consistent in the development of a model of matter and energy, and furthermore has fortified his model with experimentation. His model is based on the assumption that matter is concentrated electromagnetic energy. He predicts that this energy (E=MCsquared) may be released in a controlled way, and his experiments verify the prediction. The future of the human race may be dramatically uplifted by the large scale commercial development of this invention. Dr. Roger Hastings, PhD.

    It would seem that the Irish fellow has essentially copied Joseph Newman's technology who has more than 30 scientists and engineers having tested his Motor/Generators and signed Affidavits that the units operate as stated by the inventor. That is in addition to the findings of fact by the technical expert in electrical engineering and Special Master William Schuyler (former U.S. Commissioner of the Patent and Trademark Office) - Quote from his Report: "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."

    Like a conventional nuclear reactor, the Newman technology (copied by the Irish fellow) is an OPEN system IF you consider that the copper conductor in his Motor/Generator serves the same purpose in principle as the uranium in a conventional reactor: energy is being released from the atoms of copper in the unit's conductor.

  3. Heat & the Three Laws of Thermodynamics on News Media Scammed by 'Free Energy' Hoax · · Score: 1
    I was just sent this from the Newman organization:

    "The following is "out of context" from considerable information presented previously in Joseph Newman's book.

    Heat & The Three Laws of Thermodynamics

    _______________________________________

    Regarding Nikola Tesla's dream of a "totally new source of power": Tesla would only say that ".... the apparatus for manufacturing this energy and transforming it would be of ideal simplicity with both mechanical and electrical features." Tesla said, "The preliminary cost might be thought too high, but this would be overcome, for the installation would be both permanent and indestructible."

    Of course, the disagreements between Einstein and Tesla over the nature of "atomic energy" are known. What is interesting as a speculation would be Tesla's view (were he alive) on the relationship between his proposed "totally new source of power" and the Three Laws of Thermodynamics and how such would relate to Einstein's concept of E = mc^2. With such a speculation in mind, the following is offered:

    From the Chapter entitled, HEAT & THE THREE LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS: [I ask the reader to please forgive the fact that considerable preparatory discussion and documentation by Joseph Newman is omitted -- consequently, the conclusions that follow are posted somewhat out-of-context.]

    "....Heat is electromagnetic energy (consisting of gyroscopic massergies*). Gyroscopic massergies* (or electromagnetic energy) comprise all Matter. Alterations in the heat (gyroscopic massergies*) of Matter cause a change in the amount of (gyroscopic massergies*) of Matter in accordance with E=mc^2."

    *Nomenclature note:

    It's been said that "learning is a result of understanding which is a result of good communication which is a result of a consistent language which is a result of good NOMENCLATURE."

    For over 20 years, Joseph Newman has referred to the fundamental 'entities' creating (electro)magnetic fields as "gyroscopic particles."

    Over the past 14 years, some individuals have expressed to their problem with the word "particle(s)." This word sometimes causes them to wonder "to what "particle" the "gyroscopic particle" belongs?" Some individuals have wondered how does the "gyroscopic particle" relate to protons, photons, electrons, neutrinos, quarks, etc...

    Several years ago, others began substituting the term "masergy" for "particle." More than anything it represents a 'refinement' of one aspect of Joseph Newman's paradigm. To employ a completely new word has the advantage of disassociating its old usage from previously used words and their connotations....especially when Joseph Newman has described his "gyroscopic x" as being the fundamental unit out of which the larger units and sub-atomic "particles" are constructed.

    The new term also immediately suggests the ongoing, simultaneous equivalence between "mass" and "energy" and that the important point (within the context of Joseph Newman's technology) is to focus on the word "gyroscopic," not the word "particle" or even the word "masergy."

    Following a recent discussion with Joseph Newman about this issue of appropriate (and perhaps more explicit) nomenclature and he agrees with the new usage, with one slight correction (i.e., the addition of a second "s" to more explicitly indicate the "mass" involved). In other words, this "entity" is simultaneous both "mass" and "energy" --- and that its most important mechanical characteristic is its GYROSCOPIC nature.

    So, henceforth, it is suggested that the "gyroscopic particle" be referred to as the:

    Gyroscopic Massergy.

    To continue quoting from Joseph Newman:

    32. "I shall now proceed to constructively refute the negative doctrines that are a result of the present "Three Laws of Thermodynamics."

    A. FACTS:

    1. The Three Laws of Thermodynamics were conceived without an understanding of the relationship between heat (gyroscopic massergies/electromagnetic energy) and Matter.

    2. The Three Laws of Thermodynamics were conceived without an understanding that there is an energy relationship other than the simplicity of Work = Force X Distance, Power = Work/Time, and Force = Mass X Acceleration.

    3. The Three Laws of Thermodynamics were originally conceived without any knowledge, understanding, or anticipation of Einstein's equation of E = mc^2.

    4. The Three Laws of Thermodynamics were originally conceived without an understanding of Gravity, Electricity, Magnetism, Inertia, Matter, and Planetary Motion.

    32-B. QUESTION: If none of these things were understood at the time that the Three Laws of Thermodynamics were conceived, how can these three laws be so "all encompassing" as to be capable of predicting --- on a seemingly "infallible" basis --- the "Doom of the Universe" and the "Total Impossibility of Perpetual Motion?" Those who made such predictions must have understood the mechanical workings of the Entire Universe.

    QUESTION: Did they?

    32-C. The "First Law of Thermodynamics" (1850) states:

    "Energy can be exchanged in the form of heat or of mechanical work, but its total quantity remains constant."

    The First Law of Thermodynamics is one of the most positive scientific statements ever made, although this was not the initial intent of this Law.

    QUESTION: What does this Law say?

    ANSWER: If one cannot destroy energy, this means that energy always exists. If energy always exists, one can always use it. The Facts have indicated to me that the gyroscopic particle composition of all Matter is totally in accord with the First Law of Thermodynamics since it appears that the energy (spin speed) of the gyroscopic particle cannot be consumed.

    32-D. The "Second Law of Thermodynamics" (1850):

    The First Law of Thermodynamics proves that the implications of the Second Law of Thermodynamics are incorrect! The Second Law of Thermodynamics represents a conclusion concerning the use of heat, based upon primitive, 19th century mechanical devices. The "Second Law of Thermodynamics" may well apply to such primitive mechanical devices, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the implications of E = mc^2.

    As I have demonstrated earlier, many of the 19th century scientists believed heat to be only the result of motion. They did not understand that heat was simply the conversion of Matter into gyroscopic massergies or electromagnetic energy (heat) as implied by the brilliant work of Joseph Black. Nor did they realize that heat (consisting of gyroscopic massergies or electromagnetic energy) was convertible into Matter. They were completely ignorant concerning E = mc^2. In their ignorance, they would have said that anyone claiming such a statement was stupid. In my opinion, Joseph Black would have readily accepted the implications of E = mc^2.

    In 1824, Sadi Carnot published a paper entitled "Reflections on the Motive Power of Heat." Carnot had discovered that heat must flow "downhill," i.e., heat must change from high to low temperatures to perform work. Such a conclusion was based upon the observation of primitive inventions and has no real connection with the essential nature of heat or E = mc^2. Joseph Black understood the nature of heat as early as 1760 --- others did not.

    By 1850, it was concluded throughout the scientific community that Carnot's discovery of a definite direction for heat flow laid the foundations for one of the basic laws of physics: the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The law was first formulated in 1850 by the German physicist, Rudolf Clausius, who stated, "It is impossible for a self-acting machine, unaided by any external agency, to convey heat from one body to another at a higher temperature."

    The essence of the Second Law of Thermodynamics is this: heat will not flow of its own accord from a cold place to a hot one. Again, I repeat that this statement has absolutely nothing to do with the essence of heat and demonstrates a total lack of understanding that heat is gyroscopic massergies (electromagnetic energy) which comprises all Matter and that E = mc^2.

    In physics it is presently believed that this unidirectional flow of heat, as stated by the Second Law of Thermodynamics, implies the "Doom (or heat death) of the Universe." I vigorously disagree with this unfounded statement! All of the facts now presented in science prove this close-minded statement to be totally incorrect! This negative statement has been an extreme hindrance to the diligent progress of science since it closes one's mind to creative thought and has succeeded in unjustly influencing young minds that were taught to accept it.

    Electromagnetic energy is __perpetually__ changing from energy to Matter and from Matter to energy. [While I fully realize that the use of the word "perpetual" violates __current__ scientific taboos, I will do so anyway!] The gyroscopic entity I have described in this Book perpetually spins and travels at the speed of light in accordance with E = mc^2. Even if all physical Matter could become exactly the same temperature, the gyroscopic massergy (electromagnetic energy) within Matter is still moving at the speed of light. Any Matter could still be caused to release its incredible electromagnetic energy (gyroscopic massergy) composition!

    A chain reaction could be induced within a mass the size of a planet, thereby causing the mass to release its electromagnetic energy (gyroscopic massergy composition) at a rate as rapid as that of the Sun. The mass would then cause a source of heat greater than its surroundings which were retaining the major portion of their gyroscopic massergies (electromagnetic energy) composition within the physical boundaries of the materials. All heat is gyroscopic massergies (electromagnetic energy). All Matter is gyroscopic massergies (electromagnetic energy). All Matter can release its gyroscopic massergies in the form of heat, light, electrical current, electromagnetic fields, electromagnetic waves, electromagnetic radiation, or in smaller quantities of its total physical form. However, it makes no difference in what form Matter is released, since it is always composed of gyroscopic massergies (electromagnetic energy).

    The reverse is also true: all gyroscopic massergies (electromagnetic energy) can be converted into physical Matter! Having a basic understanding of the ingenious properties of the gyroscopic massergy (electromagnetic energy) composition of all Matter in the Universe, the mathematical law of probability tells me that the probability of the Universe undergoing a "heat death" is zero.

    One of Joseph Black's important discoveries was that different substances have different capacities for absorbing or emitting heat (electromagnetic energy)!

    EXAMPLE: If 1 kg. of iron at 80 degrees C. is immersed in 1 kg. of water at 40 degrees C., then the equilibrium temperature is found to be 43.7 degrees C. In other words, the same amount of heat (electromagnetic energy) has resulted in a much greater temperature change in the iron than in the water.

    The same unfounded statement of the Second Law of Thermodynamics is also used in present physics to have stamped the final label of "FUTILE" on the quest for "Perpetual Motion." I would agree that "Perpetual Motion" would be futile as long as one accepts the validity of the Second Law of Thermodynamics as explaining everything in the Universe for all time. However, I challenge such validity. It is easy to recognize that in this sense, the Second Law has operationally been a deliberate attempt to close young minds who would be otherwise willing to question the "finality" of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. I am sure that there are many who read this Book who have been so unjustly influenced. Please recognize that the conversion of physical Matter to electromagnetic energy (gyroscopic massergies) and from electromagnetic energy (gyroscopic massergies) back to physical Matter is "perpetual" throughout the Universe and this phenomenal energy change can be conceptually understood and technologically harnessed in the immediate future for the incredible benefit of humanity!

    32-E. The "Third Law of Thermodynamics" (developed 1888-1902):

    In 1902, measurements of the heat reaction of various substances were examined, and it was found that the free energies experienced an increasingly __small variation__ as the reaction approaches absolute zero.

    This line of thought was initiated in 1848 by Lord Kelvin (William Thompson). Knowing that when cooled one degree from 0 degrees to -1 degrees C. a gas loses 1/273 of its pressure, Kelvin reasoned that at -273 degrees C., gas should have no pressure and he called -273 degrees C. "absolute zero". Scientists at the time further reasoned that if "cold" is simply the absence of "heat," then there should be a point when there is absolutely no heat. This reasoning demonstrates a complete lack of understanding that heat is actually electromagnetic energy (gyroscopic massergies) which comprise all Matter and that E = mc^2. [Kelvin's knowledge is valuable, however, in terms of designing my Pioneering Invention where atom unalignment is important since heat causes random motion and rapid atom unalignment.]

    In accordance with the above concept regarding the absence of heat, the Third Law of Thermodynamics was proposed. It states that every substance known to man undergoes entropy, i.e., a measure of the availability of energy to perform work that approaches zero as the temperature approaches absolute zero (-273 degrees C. or -459.69 degrees F.).

    Einstein's equation of E = mc^2 and the work I have accomplished prove that this statement concerning entropy is totally incorrect.

    Kelvin's results are explained by my prior discussion that heat (gyroscopic massergies/electromagnetic energy) loss from Matter causes the atomic entities to demand a smaller area. This is why gases lose pressure at low temperatures since they are becoming a liquid state.

    The concept that cold is the absence of heat should be corrected as follows: Cold is simply a condition of less gyroscopic massergies or electromagnetic energy (heat) in Matter. As long as one has Matter, one still has gyroscopic massergies (electromagnetic energy or potential heat). Matter at -459.69 degrees F. STILL contains tremendous electromagnetic energy (or heat if properly released) or vast quantities of gyroscopic massergies spinning at the speed of light. Only when Matter is gone, is all potential heat gone. The mechanical essence of E = mc^2 is the gyroscopic-action-massergy which is the basic building entity of all Matter.

    32-F. It is totally amazing to me that these three laws of thermodynamics have been so long accepted, knowing that their total premise is one of negativism which completely stops the creative thinking processes of a student who is motivated to question or discover a method for a better energy invention that would ultimately be of service to humanity. However, in spite of the negative intentions of those who developed it, THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS PROVES JUST THE OPPOSITE! It is a most positive, scientific statement.

    Although this may seem superficially paradoxical, I will make the positive statement that "there is NO PLACE in science that negativism should be allowed to exist!" The entire history of science has proven over and over again that, whenever it has been thought that something was not possible, it later turns out to be possible. Therefore, as the facts have proven, science should put forth positive statements of hopes and dreams that will perpetually stimulate the creative processes of the human mind. In contrast, throughout my sincere, scientific efforts of nearly two decades, I have had to fight against many negative "scientific statements" that were and are wrong. Such injustice has not been unique to my efforts, but, on the contrary, it has been the common fate of most creative individuals throughout the History of Science......"

  4. Sounds like a rip-off of Joseph Newman's work on News Media Scammed by 'Free Energy' Hoax · · Score: 1

    What's really funny: The guy in Ireland may truly be reinventing the wheel! What he's claiming to have done has been done years ago by inventor Joseph Newman right here in the good olde USofA. Probably the Irish guy read Joe's book, THE ENERGY MACHINE OF JOSEPH NEWMAN, then simply copied it and whammo, presto: instant Irish Energy Machine embellished with them 4-leaf clovers. Curiously-enough, I've followed Newman's work on and off over the years. I've read reports by physicists and electrical engineers that have repeatedly tested his units and signed affidavits saying they work as claimed. I've also read stuff by skeptics who attack Newman as having something that can't possibly work, yet those same skeptics have never actually test a unit for themselves. There's a lot of articles/etc. that Newman's has available --- you can see some of them for yourself at: http://www.josephnewman.com I have written their organization and been sent quite a bit of documentation about Newman's technology. Does he have something? I don't honesty know. I do know that he doesn't call it "free energy" nor does he claim to be "getting something for nothing." What he's claiming isn't "perpetual motion" --- but the bottom line is that he is claiming to be transferring mass to energy "electromagnetically" rather than through a fission reaction. He claims that the energy output generated from his motor/generator actually comes from the copper atoms of his conductor and that an external voltage input (with as little current as possible) is applied to basically align and realign those copper atoms and then cause them to release some of their energy. The following is from one website about Newman's technology: "In radically oversimplified terms, this is what happens when Joseph Newman throws the switch on his revolutionary Energy Machine: 1) An electrical current is sent through a very long (miles long) coil of copper wire, magnetizing it and creating a strong magnetic field. 2) Newman describes the mechanics of the magnetic field as "shells of force" composed of gyroscopic particles that move in a spiral pattern around the wire. Originally IN the wire, the particles expand outward and thus create the magnetic field. 3) When the particles form a magnetic field, Newman says, they are traveling at the speed of light in two directions - in the spiral pattern around the wire, and in their own normal gyroscopic spin. This gives him the right side of the E=mc^2 equation; the particles (mass) multiplied by the speed of light squared. 4) The machine operates in pulses; that is, the electrical current is continually turned on and off. This causes the magnetic field - in other words, the gyroscopic particles - to expand and collapse. 5) When the trillions of gyroscopic particles that have been released collapse back into the wire, some of them collide with other gyroscopic particles. Because of the nature of the gyroscopic spin, the collisions cause some of the loose particles to bounce off at right angles and thus not return to the copper atoms from whence they originated; those particular particles emerge at one end of the wire as electrical energy." I wrote the Newman organization and here's what some scientists have said about Newman: "The future of the human race may be dramatically uplifted by the large-scale, commercial development of this invention." -- Dr. Roger Hastings, Principal Physicist, UNISYS CORPORATION "If the manner in which Joseph Newman conducted his experiments and the results were made known to the industrial or engineering community then, in my opinion, several companies and/or individuals possess the expertise and capabilities to construct the hardware required to fully exploit the apparent capability of his new concepts." -- Dr. Robert E. Smith, Chief, Orbital and Space Environment Branch, George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, NASA "You have opened an area in Astrophysics which may revolutionize the magnetic energy problems which is now the most paramount problem in future energy and space travel. I do believe with proper research funds, the results would not only be a great financial boom to your financiers, but would lead to developments that will be practical and beneficial to all mankind and develop a new step in science." -- Dr. E. L. Moragne, MORAGNE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT CO. [Dr. Moragne was an electromagnetic pioneer in the development of the first atomic bomb.] I was also sent the following document: ___________________________________ FROM THE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS: IT HAS COME TO OUR ATTENTION THAT A RESEARCH REPORT PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS (Volume 77, Issue 11, June 1, 1995, pages 6015-6020) PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS, FURTHER VALIDATES THE WORK OF INVENTOR JOSEPH NEWMAN. TITLE: Increased Voltage Phenomenon in a Resonance Circuit of Unconventional Magnetic Configuration PREFACE: The behavior of an ICR (inductance-capacitance resistance) circuit with a moveable ferromagnetic core is discussed. The core is attracted by a magnetic field generated by an electric current resulting from the discharge of a capacitor in the closed ICR circuit. An unusual increase in recharge voltage, which was dependent on the magnetic configuration of the coil, was observed. This voltage increase does not conform to the mathematical simulation of the system. The possibility that a positive electromotive force was involved in this effect is discussed. The following is a particularly interesting statement from this article: "Generally speaking, it is expected that the total recharge voltage will decrease because this system produces mechanical output as the core moves. However, through a series of experiments, it was discovered that results depend on the magnetic configuration of the coils used in the circuit. In other words, for a certain kind of magnetic field, the opposite result could occur --- an increase in the average current and recharge voltage. To confirm the above observations, an experiment was conducted, which is described in this article." The following was one of the final conclusions presented in this article: "It can be postulated that the complex movement of magnetic flux generates a positive EMF, but the cause of the voltage increase is not clear." Through his research over the past 30 years and as demonstrated in his numerous experiments and working prototypes, Joseph Newman has presented a comprehensive explanation for the cause of the "voltage increase" described in the above article. I urge the reader to locate a copy of this research article from the Journal of Applied Physics, published by the American Institute of Physics, and review it for yourself.

I like healthy skepticism, but it should be tempered with curiosity and a willingness to investigate an anomaly no matter how controversial it may be at any given time. Hell, that what's the scientific method's all about. Dave
