Thanks to Joseph Newman and Evan Soule for the following.

Joseph Newman's Inventions

Joseph Newman is the King of new energy devices.  As I was preparing for
my "Heavy Watergate" piece on cold fusion, I ran into some rather favorable
articles on their work.  I feel this is one of those stories only The Konformist
would consider highlighting, so naturally, here it is, highlighted.  Enjoy.

From:  josephnewman@earthlink.net  (Evan Soule)

Dear Mr. Sterling,

I have worked with Joseph Newman for nearly fourteen years (having Edited
his book and assisted him with PR and a variety of special projects over
the years) and I have witnessed first hand the injustices inflicted upon
this innovator who has endeavored to bring forth his revolutionary
technology.

BTW, I am located in New Orleans and Joseph Newman is located in Lucedale,
Mississippi, approximately 140 miles distant.  We communicate daily.

 I can assure that the facts of this case are truly amazing!

THE SPECIAL REPORT (Part A)

THE FOLLOWING IS A SPECIAL REPORT CONCERNING THE TECHNOLOGY OF JOSEPH NEWMAN

"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and
making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die,
and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."  --  MAX PLANCK

What I am going to suggest to you in this Special Report is more than
simply 'a genuine improvement in electrical technology,' but rather a
significant paradigm shift which may challenge some of the fundamental
beliefs held today in electrical theory.  While I don't know you
personally, I am hoping that you, the reader, possess the gift of
intellectual honesty, i.e., a willingness to look at the facts regardless
of one's predispositions and/or prejudices.

My personal background is history and science, and I have devoted the past
twenty years to studying the history of physics -- especially with regard
to invention and the great difficulties major innovators have had in
presenting their achievements to society.  In many instances the history of
physics (science) has taught me that "the greater the innovation -- the
greater the resistance."  This is very unfortunate for the progress of
humanity.

I am hoping that the independence of your thinking will give you the
freedom to view a new technology, a new paradigm -- with the
open-mindedness and intellectual honesty of Planck's 'new generation.'

Allow me to present to you a sterling example of "intellectual dishonesty":
this brief story involves a young upstart thinker by the name of Galileo
Galilei and a most distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Padua
University by the name of Cesare Cremonini.  One may ask today, "Who is
Cesare Cremonini?"  Yet four hundred years ago, Cremonini was the
well-known and famous professor and Galileo Galilei was a virtually unknown
original thinker.

Once upon a time (so the story goes), this young thinker Galileo claimed to
have discovered "mountains on the moon" by virtue of the utilization of a
new tool called the telescope.  Naively believing that other thinkers and
professors would welcome this discovery, Galileo invited professor
Cremonini to view these moon mountains for himself through the telescope.

Cremonini chided Galileo for his insanity since, as everyone knows, "the
moon cannot contain protuberances or blemishes since Aristotle has said
that the moon is a perfect sphere."  Galileo replied, "I don't care what
Aristotle said, simply come look through my telescope and see for
yourself."  "No, Galileo, my young friend," responded Cremonini, "I KNOW
that there are no mountains on the moon."  Professor Cremonini then opened
the book of Aristotle to the appropriate page and 'proved' that Galileo
could not possibly be correct.

But Galileo was insistent.  "If you just look through the telescope you
will see that Aristotle was incorrect," he said to Cremonini.  Then
Professor Cremonini responded by saying, "No Galileo, I will NOT look
through that confounded tube of yours.  But IF I did look and if I DID see
mountains on the moon, then I would know that you have simply enchanted
me."  This, dear reader, is intellectual dishonesty.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am asking you, the reader, in this Special Report to be willing to "look
through the tube."  And the "tube" here represents a new understanding of
electromagnetism.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may ask, "How could this be so?"  One may maintain that in a
post-Faraday electrical society, everything that can be known about
electromagnetism is known.  In response to this position, I ask that you
consider the quotation of Charles H. Duell, Director of the Patent Office
in 1899:

"Everything that can be invented has been invented."

But before I present an introduction to the new technology in question,
permit me to introduce its inventor -- Joseph W. Newman.  [In my study of
the history of science, I have discovered a passion for biography, i.e., by
knowing something of the inventor one acquires a much greater depth,
richness and appreciation for the significance of the innovation.  In
addition, biographies allow the reader to learn something of the personal
struggles of the great thinkers and inventors of history.]

Who is Joseph Newman?  He is an original thinker who has educated himself
over the past forty years in physics, chemistry, astronomy and many other
areas which have intrigued him.  The focus of his life has become his work
in electromagnetics which he began developing over thirty years ago.  And
he is not a starry-eyed theoretician.  Since he has made his living by
inventing, he has discovered a need to remain grounded in reality, in
practical applications of his concepts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
These quotations are from scientists who have endorsed Joseph Newman's work:

"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.]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Better than 30 physicists, nuclear engineers, electrical engineers and
electrical technicians have signed Affidavits attesting to the validity of
his invention:  an electromagnetic motor/generator that could supply every
American's home, farm, business, automobile and appliance with electrical
power at a fraction of the present cost.

But before I discuss the invention itself, permit me to digress a moment
about magnetism.  Over the years I have posed this questions to professors
of electrical engineering:  "What is the mechanical essence of magnetism?"
The standard reply is vague at best, but includes such answers as, "It
consists of lines of force and action at a distance; potential energy."

The fifth edition of the Modern Dictionary of Electronics by Rudolf F. Graf
[published by Howard W. Sams & Co., Inc., Indianapolis, Indiana] defines
magnetism as:

"A property possessed by certain materials by which these materials can
exert mechanical force on neighboring masses of magnetic materials and can
cause voltages to be inducted in conducting bodies moving relative to the
magnetized bodies."

And, lines of force are defined as:

"In an electric or magnetic field, an imaginary line in the same direction
as the field intensity at each point.  Sometimes called a maxwell when used
as a unit of magnetic flux."

These definitions seem superficially fine, but fail to specifically address
the real question:  "What is the mechanical essence of magnetism?"  "Of
what do these 'imaginary lines of force' consist?"  "What is the real
nature of mechanical force -- what physically causes such action at the
most fundamental level?"  These questions perplexed Michael Faraday, who
said:   "How few understand the physical (emphasis added) lines of force!
They will not see them, yet all the researches on the subject tend to
confirm the views I put forth many years since.  Thompson of Glasgow seems
almost the only one who acknowledges them.  He is perhaps the nearest to
understanding what I meant.  I am content to wait convinced as I am of the
truth of my views."

[Although he had only a 7th grade, formal education, Faraday was a
mechanical genius.]

I must postulate that if Faraday were alive today he would claim that
because of the manner in which electric motors are constructed today --
utilizing high current and low voltage -- we have yet to discover the true
nature of electromagnetism.

Joseph Newman unequivocally states that all electrical motors built to date
are constructed with built-in inefficiencies since they should be operating
with low current and high voltage.  [But I am jumping ahead of myself at
this point.]

Back to Faraday . . .  One man truly understood Faraday's mechanical genius
and was capable of translating his mechanical work into mathematics:  James
Clerk Maxwell -- a towering genius and innovator in science.  Maxwell
specifically wrote the following:

"The theory I propose may . . . be called a theory of the Electromagnetic
Field because it has to do with the space in the neighborhood of the
electric or magnetic bodies, and it may be called a Dynamical Theory,
because it assumes that in that space there is matter in motion, by which
the observed electromagnetic phenomena are produced."  (Emphasis added.)

Maxwell even went on to add:

"In speaking of the Energy of the field, however,  I wish to be understood
literally.  All energy is the same as mechanical energy, whether it exists
in the form of motion or in that of elasticity, or in any other form.  The
energy in electromagnetic phenomena is mechanical energy."  (Emphasis
added.)

Matter in motion.  Back in the early 1960's Joseph Newman wondered what was
the mechanical essence, the nature, of this "matter in motion."  In Chapter
Two of his book -- THE ENERGY MACHINE OF JOSEPH NEWMAN -- Joseph Newman
describes the fundamental essence of a magnetic field as a particle having
a "gyroscopic spin."  This gyroscopic action is fundamental to
understanding the mechanical nature of electromagnetism.

When one understands the gyroscopic characteristics of the matter in motion
contained within an electromagnetic field, then one begins to recognize a
better mechanical means of harnessing this kinetic energy.  To generate the
largest possible magnetic field within a copper coil and therefore to have
access to greater numbers of "matter in motion" -- (for purposes of
simplicity of understanding, Joseph Newman refers to this matter in motion
as gyroscopic particles) -- one must input large amounts of voltage to
achieve maximum atom alignment in the copper coil.  When this high voltage
input occurs, the copper coil atoms release their kinetic energy in the
form of a magnetic field.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joseph Newman has discovered a highly efficient means to harness this
magnetic energy emanating from the copper coil.  And Joseph Newman takes
this a step farther by stating that these gyroscopic particles represent
the mechanical essence of Einstein's equation of E=mc2.  He states that
these gyroscopic particles spin at the speed of light and move in a given
direction (lines of force) at the speed of light, and are thus the
mechanical equivalent of E=mc2.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nearly twelve years ago, it took me about three weeks to really understand
Joseph Newman's mechanical explanation of magnetism.  I repeatedly studied
the diagrams until I grasped what he was trying to say.  As a result of
understanding his explanation of magnetism I observed a simple magnetic
phenomena which was elegantly explained by Joseph Newman's mechanical work
in magnetism (see Chapter Three of his book).

I submit the following quotation from Ken Arno, Re-search Director at
G.E.R.D., Co.:

"I can speak with a 'personal knowledge' and 'hands-on-experience' when I
talk about the collapsing magnetic field phenomena in a coil.  We here at
G.E.R.D. Co. and everyone else who makes use of electrical circuits have
always considered the collapsing field effect to be a nuisance because,
when using a mechanical relay coil in an electronic circuit, it would cause
a current to be pumped back into our circuit, creating havoc.

"One solution to the problem of C.E.M.F. was to install a diode across the
coil leads and when the power was removed, the C.E.M.F. caused a current to
flow which passed through the diode and to be dissipated as heat in the
coil itself and not in our circuit.

"The fact that this effect has for over one hundred years been viewed as a
problem to be designed out of electrical systems is the reason no one until
you, Joseph Newman, had seriously considered it as a source of abundant
free energy.  Everyone knew it was there, but no one recognized its
potential."

***********************************************************
THE SPECIAL REPORT (Part B)

I submit the following from a Letter to the Editor of the Mobile Press Register:

"Never having met, talked with, nor had financial dealings with Joseph
Newman, I read his book, The Energy Machine of Joseph Newman.  After 30
years in the electrical profession I felt eminently qualified to debunk his
claim to a device that generated more energy than it consumes.  In the
second chapter, I sat up in bed and shouted, 'He's got it!'"
                       --- Patrick McLain, EE, Mobile, Alabama

I don't wish to dampen Mr. McLain's enthusiasm for this technology and,
although his comments are well-intentioned, Mr. McLain is laboring under
the superficial conclusion that Joseph Newman's motor "generates more
energy than it consumes."  This is simply not the case.  In fact, the motor
does generate greater external energy output than external energy input.
This technology does not violate the Law of Conservation of Matter and
Energy.  On the contrary -- this technology further corroborates the Laws
of Thermodynamics, i.e., the only way one will achieve the internal
production of energy within the system is by supplying the system with high
voltage (and low current) to align the copper atoms in the coil.

Joseph Newman supplies an external electrical stimulus to his coil (and
special commutator system) that generates the magnetic field containing the
gyroscopic particles (matter in motion). This external electrical stimulus
takes the form of high voltage -- and the higher the better until maximum
atom alignment of the coil is achieved.  At the same time the current is
kept as low as possible to minimize resistance; thereby the Newman motor
always runs "cool."  The externally applied high voltage is not "consumed"
by the system -- it operates in the same manner as the hydraulic system in
an automobile.  The reservoir of brake fluid is not "used up" but supplies
a continual hydraulic pressure to the automobile's brake system.  In a
similar fashion the high input voltage (and low current) acts as an
electrical 'hydraulic' pressure to continually realign the atoms within the
motor's copper coil.  The continual collapse and expansion of the copper
coil's magnetic field creates the mechanical torque of the motor.  (The
special commutator system achieves this continual collapse and expansion of
the magnetic field.)

The net increase of external electrical energy from the system directly
comes from the energy produced internally within the copper coil.  This net
energy is greater than the small amount of current originally inputed into
the system along with the high voltage.  In the final analysis where is the
excess energy coming from?  Answer:  from the atoms of the copper coil
within the motor/generator.

Dr. Roger Hastings, a physicist who has worked extensively with Joseph
Newman over a number of years, has calculated that this system is so
conversion efficient that it may take decades (or far longer) to be able to
measure any appreciable mass loss in the coil.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This brings me to a discussion of efficiency.  If Joseph Newman's
motor/generator system is viewed as a whole -- considering both external
energy and internal energy -- then the total energy output for the system
is equal to the total external and internal energy input combined.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Such a process is fully in accordance with the First Law of Thermodynamics!
When the system is viewed as a whole, it is imprecise to say that the
Newman motor/generator simply "produces more than it consumes."  However,
it is correct to say that "the external energy output is greater than the
external energy input" -- an external energy input considered independently
of the large internal energy produced by the Newman motor/generator.

In other words, the revolutionary nature of this system is the fact that
Joseph Newman has discovered a new electromagnetic principle of nature and
has innovated a technology capable of converting matter (copper coil) into
energy (in accordance with E=mc2) via a highly efficient electromagnetic
reaction rather than an inefficient fission reaction.

Those who state that "one can never build a device which exceeds 100%
efficiency" do not understand the nature of the phenomenal efficiencies (in
excess of 800%) produced by the Newman motor/generator.

Such a statement demonstrates an inability to distinguish between
CONVERSION efficiency and PRODUCTION efficiency.  To state that Joseph
Newman's motor/generator is 8.2 production efficient, i.e., that it
produces over eight times as much external energy output as external energy
input, is different from stating that the invention approaches 100%
conversion efficiency, i.e., that it converts the internal mass of the
copper coil into energy in accordance with E=mc2.  The former process
involves production efficiency and the latter process involves conversion
efficiency.  These two different types of efficiencies should not be
confused.

In his motor/generator system, the electromagnetic conversion (of matter to
energy) efficiency approaches 100% [rather than the less than 1% conversion
(of matter to energy) efficiency of a typical nuclear fission reaction.]
The production efficiency of the Newman energy machine has been found to be
in excess of 800%, i.e., over eight times as much external energy output as
external energy input.

Consider the following crude analogy of a nuclear fission reactor to Joseph
Newman's motor/generator:  a typical nuclear reactor consists of a small
amount of external electrical energy being inputed into the reactor station
to turn on lights, activate control panels, start machinery, etc.  The
large external energy produced by the reactor, however, is the result of
the nuclear fission process which internally occurs within the system.

As a result of such an internal fission process, external electrical energy
is produced  in the system.  If, however, one ignores the internal energy
and only considers the initial, small external energy input, then one could
say that the net external electrical energy output produced by a nuclear
reactor is greater than the external electrical energy input.

The important distinction, however, between a conventional nuclear reactor
and Joseph Newman's motor/generator is that the former is less than 1%
conversion efficient and the latter approaches 100% conversion efficiency.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In essence, Joseph Newman has integrated the work of Faraday with that of
Einstein and has created a motor technology that will bring us into the
21st century.  One may say that "this is too good to be true."

Is this -- our current electrical technology -- the BEST that we can do?
Is there no expectation that we may achieve a deeper understanding of
electromagnetism which will allow us to build fundamentally different (and
more efficient) motors?  Could one not conceive that such a revolutionary
technology could be achieved in fifty years?  One hundred years?  One
thousand years?  Can anyone really believe that our traditional
motor/electromagnetic technology is the technology that will be utilized
five thousand years from now?

But why must we wait five thousand years?  Why not in a hundred years?  Why
not in fifty years?  Why not NOW.

You may say, "Well, why hasn't it been done before now?"  My response:  why
did the Wright Brothers 'wait' until 1903 to invent the aeroplane?  Things
happen when they do, I suppose . . . often in spite of tremendous
ignorance, apathy and hostility.

Christian Morgenstern summed it up quite well when he said:

"The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply."

In its essence, Joseph Newman's technology is the model of simplicity.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For twelve continuous hours, Joseph Newman operated a recent production
model of his motor/generator:  from 8:00AM to 8:00PM -- and attached to a
Grainger Reciprocating Pump -- the Newman Motor/Generator pumped 1 gallon
of water per minute at 12 PSI at the Lucedale, Mississippi City Park.  The
voltage source was a local alternating current connection to the Newman
Motor/Generator through a conventional house watt meter.  The Newman
Motor/Generator utilized the city grid voltage but not the current. When a
conventional motor was operated on this city grid system the house watt
meter proceeded to turn, indicating that external electrical energy was
being consumed.

During the entire 12 hours that the Newman Motor/Generator pumped water,
the house watt meter did not move.  Moreover, for the entire 12 hour period
the Newman Motor/Generator ran cool.  The news media, city officials and
representatives of the local power station observed and corroborated these
results.

This technology is ready to go forward into production.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT CAN YOU DO? (This section is for everyone [and non-technical people]
in general...)

1) Tell your friends and associates about the new technology.

2) Urge your Congressman and Senators to introduce Private Relief Bills
identical to those introduced by 11 different Congressmen.  A sample Bill
read:  "A BILL For the relief of Joseph W. Newman.  Be it enacted by the
Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in
Congress assembled, That the Secretary of Commerce, acting through the
Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks, is authorized and directed to
immediately issue a pioneer patent to Joseph W. Newman for the invention
described in the patent application numbered 179,474 and filed in August
1980.  Such patent shall be accorded rights equal to the rights accorded to
patents issued title 35, United States Code.

3) To people in general: if you are mechanically inclined and have at least
a fundamental understanding of electrical circuitry, you are invited to
construct a prototype for yourself and demonstrate the remarkable nature of
this
technology.  An 11-year-old girl built a small prototype of the Newman
Energy Machine and won 1st place in her science fair!  [Of course, the fact
that her father was an electrical engineer probably didn't hurt!]

We recently received a VHS tape from a mechanically-gifted individual in
Philadelphia who constructed a Newman energy machine from having read the
book, THE ENERGY MACHINE OF JOSEPH NEWMAN.  We had no prior contact or
knowledge of this individual, yet he corroborated Joseph Newman's results.
This VHS tape is featured on a special VHS tape recently produced.

4) We are looking for manufacturers who would be interested in producing
Newman Motor/Generators.  Contact the address below.

5) We are building up a list of mechanically-gifted individuals such that,
as manufacturers begin to generate this technology, they will have a pool
of individuals to draw from who are familiar with Joseph Newman's work.

6) Joseph Newman's fundamental, 470-page, hardcover book, 7th
Edition [ISBN: 0-9613835-7-7] which features over 150 illustrations,
charts, graphs, and photographs can be ordered from:  Joseph Newman
Publishing Company, Route 1, Box 52, Lucedale, Mississippi 39452.  This
book represents over thirty years of research on the part of Joseph Newman.
In some cases, you can ask your library to purchase this book, or, since
many libraries across the country already have earlier editions which you
can borrow via interlibrary loans.

7) One may obtain a copy of the VHS tape, available from Joseph Newman
Publishing Company, featuring the Philadelphia version of Joseph Newman's
energy
machine, as well as considerable additional information.  Also on the tape
is a simple, inexpensive and repeatable demonstration that would make an
excellent student project for a science fair and demonstrates but one
aspect of the technology.  This demonstration proves conclusively that
traditional electrical engineering has been harboring a 150-year-old
fallacy that has resulted in all motors being constructed with built-in
inefficiencies! This fallacy is the belief that the strength of the
magnetic field surrounding a copper conductor coil comes from the input
CURRENT.  THIS IS FALSE!  The strength of the magnetic field surrounding a
copper conductor coil comes from the ATOMS OF THE COPPER WIRE contained
WITHIN THE TURNS OF WIRE as aligned by the input VOLTAGE.....NOT the
CURRENT.  And the greater the input VOLTAGE (up to maximum atom alignment
of the atoms in the copper coil) the stronger the magnetic field
surrounding the coil and hence, the greater the back-emf.

From:  josephnewman@earthlink.net (Evan Soule)
Joseph Newman in St. Louis, Part A.
__________________________________________________________
Note:  The following description of the events relating to Joseph Newman's
presentation in St. Louis have not been reviewed by Joseph Newman and, as
such, are prepared from my interpretation of his comments at the
demonstration and my observations of same.
__________________________________________________________
Synopsis:

Over 150 people attended the demonstration of Joseph Newman's
Electromagnetic Lift Device (ELD) on Friday, February 7, 1997 at the
Holiday Inn SW in St. Louis, Missouri.  A representative from ABC National
News was present with a camera as well as a member of the St. Louis press
and also media from Ohio.  Engineers with NASA in Houston had arranged in
advance to videotape the event for their review at a later time; Joseph
Newman also arranged to videotape the event.

After introductory remarks by myself (see Part B) Joseph Newman spoke while
displaying slides and then presented his ELD followed by questions/answers.
Free literature regarding the technology was distributed to all attendees.

Background:

St. Louis was chosen by Joseph Newman as a site for the demonstration for
two reasons:  1) It was originally the place where Charles Lindbergh's
plans for his transatlantic flight were finalized and 2) It is the city
where the X-Prize Foundation announced its support for a practical means of
vehicular launch ('mass transit style') into space from Earth.

Joseph Newman's Presentation:

While the essentials of his discussion are found in his fundamental book,
during the course of his presentation, Joe made several remarks which
especially caught my attention:

1) He stated that he had once read in a scientific magazine a discussion of
particle accelerators.  The article specifically described how the initial
particle was accelerated through very powerful magnetic fields to a speed
approaching that of light.  At the instant of particle collision, many
smaller (and sometimes new) particles would be detected and, as such, the
event appeared to researchers somewhat like "clowns pouring out of an
automobile at the circus."

With respect to such particle detection, Joe stated the following:

As he has demonstrated in his research over thirty years, the fundamental
mechanical entity comprising all (electro)magnetic fields is the Gyroscopic
Particle.  If such particle acceleration researchers ignore the
consequences of accelerating a given particle through __powerful magnetic
fields__ then they are ignoring a very important fact:  Joe believes that
as the original particle is accelerated through these powerful magnetic
fields (mechanically consisting of gyroscopic particles) --- as this
original particle approaches the speed of light it begins to mechanically
attract many of these gyroscopic particles which create the __very magnetic
fields__ through which the particle is accelerated.

As a result of such attraction, the structure of the original particle is
altered and becomes larger:  a new mechanical entity momentarily comprised
of itself plus the various agglutinations of gyroscopic particles which are
now accelerating along with it.  What the researchers are detecting at the
moment of impact are various new particles (consisting of gyroscopic
particles) __WHICH THE RESEARCHERS THEMSELVES CREATED__ during the time
that the original particle was accelerated through the powerful magnetic
field (consisting of gyroscopic particles).

It is quite possible that there may well be no upper limit to the number of
"new particles" created in this manner --- although by the possibility of
certain angles having a greater mechanical stability than others (between
gyroscopic particles), it is also possible that certain types (classes) of
sub-atomic particles will tend to be more frequently observed following the
point of impact.  Joe's primary point is that the researchers --- by their
very technique of utilizing powerful magnetic fields (consisting of
gyroscopic particles) for purposes of acceleration --- are creating the
conditions for the observations which follow when the particle collides.

My own crude analogy:  let's say one has a jig-saw puzzle consisting of
1,000 puzzle pieces.  Let's assume the puzzle is properly assembled and
reduced to the size of a particle-to-be-accelerated (per above).  Let's
further assume that our challenge is to be able to know the original
puzzle's design.  So we physically accelerate this jig-saw puzzle through a
"field" of additional tiny, puzzle pieces (gyroscopic particles) all
spinning/traveling at various angles.  Some of these additional puzzle
pieces proceed to mechanically stick to the puzzle pieces of the original
jigsaw puzzle to create a larger agglutinated puzzle mass having new
combinations of puzzle parts.  We then "smash" this resultant mass and, in
the process, 'breakages' occur in new areas of the puzzle's mass and travel
in different directions.  We then attempt to observe all these new pieces
that explode from the collision and attempt to construct the structure of
the __original__ jig-saw puzzle.  There may be a problem with this
methodology if one wants to accurately comprehend the nature of the
__original__ jig-saw puzzle.

2) "There is no neutrality to magnetic fields."  (To paraphrase Faraday.)
In the context of (1) above, Joseph Newman discussed in St. Louis the
problem originally presented by Einstein with respect to faster-than-light
travel in space and the problem of "infinite mass."  Like the particle in
the accelerator, if one has a space vehicle approaching light-speed while
traveling through the universe --- which like the particle accelerator also
consists of "an electromagnetic ocean of gyroscopic particles" that
pervades the entire universe --- then it should become clear why the mass
of the object in such a gyroscopic-particle-ocean (where such G.P.'s are
mechanically intersecting the original traveling craft at many different
angles as it reaches their lightspeed) would tend to become "infinite" in
principle.  Hence the problem of exceeding the speed of light.

Joe explained that he mechanically envisioned that the solution to this
problem is a simple one and would permit the space traveller to _exceed_
light speed.  As one's craft approached light speed, it would become
necessary to mechanically create an electromagnetic field about one's craft
that would, in effect, mechanically repel the gyroscopic particles
comprising the "electromagnetic ocean of the universe."  Such a
"electromagnetic force field" would enable one's craft to pass through the
"light barrier" and reach speeds exceeding that of light.

3) Regarding the ELD Demonstration:

This is a simple demonstration which anyone can repeat for themselves.  The
specific quantities are listed as an order of magnitude only.  One may have
the vary the parameters depending upon the size, shape of their own craft.

Joe began with a mylar balloon approximately 2.5 feet in diameter.  This
was filled with helium.  He then took two long strips of styrofoam (perhaps
an inch thick with a length equal to that of the balloon).  He also states
that the long wings (sometimes made of styrofoam or balsa wood) of model
aeroplanes can also be employed.  The styrofoam strips are attached to the
balloon with double stick tape on either side (2 sides, not 4).  Now the
winding begins.

He first distributed double stick tape across the balloon which would serve
as the mode of attachment for the wire and prevent it from slippage.  In
his example he utilized 38 gauge copper wire run 'length-wise' from one
side to another (the same sides only) --- across the diameter of the
balloon.  The styrofoam strips served to stabilize the positioning of the
copper wire and the side of the balloon as the wire was wound.  He would
wind the wire completely across the diameter of the balloon and then he
would double back the windings again, generally trying to keep the wire's
apr. 1/4" apart.  How many windings?  My visual estimate was c. 150.  The
important point is that the number of windings should be enough to equalize
the lift force of the helium such the balloon should assumes equilibrium
with the atmosphere when enough copper is attached.

Once this is done, Joe attaches a smaller helium-filled balloon (perhaps 8"
in diameter) on top of the larger balloon.  Joe then attaches underneath
the large balloon paper clips, etc. with double-stick tape to again bring
the balloon to an equilibrium point.  These clips, etc., simply represent
the "payload."

In accordance with his teachings (relating to his energy machine) of using
HIGH voltage and LOW current, Joe then inputs voltage from two 17-member
banks of 9-volt batteries connected in series, for a total of 34 batteries
or 306 volts.

When the electromagnetic connection is made, the balloon begins to rise.
When the connection is released, the balloon begins to fall.  While rising
the balloon begins to gradually align itself with the Earth's magnetic
field, much like a compass needle.

IMPORTANT:  Joe stresses that the above simple, toy-like design does *NOT*
(except in the most generalized sense) represent the actual configuration
of a craft mechanically worthy of reaching Earth's orbital altitudes.  This
simple, crude demonstration is only intended to demonstrate the principle.
Joe described various means of building a structural craft that would be
capable of traveling beyond Earth's atmosphere.  Why helium, you ask?  Why
not?  Helium is a substance which the universe has "been kind enough to
offer us" --- why not utilize its obvious advantages with respect to our
atmosphere.  As Joe explained, the helium would counterbalance the majority
of the weight of the payload while the vehicle was __in the Earth's
atmosphere__.  [I should add that it is estimated that Earth's atmosphere
extends into space for up to 600 miles --- although at this point it is
admittedly nearly indistinguishable from a vacuum.]  As the atmosphere
become less available for utilization by the helium, then the
electromagnetic lift effect would play a greater and greater role in cause
the craft to rise.

Joe described (and he has given this much additional thought that was not
disclosed at St. Louis) how a series of "balloons within balloons" with
regulator valves could mechanically accommodate the expected expansion of
the helium in upper atmospheric levels.  In addition, it would be
anticipated that some of the expanding helium could be pumped back into
containment cylinders which could then be re-used when descent is desired.
In this way, all materials could be continuously recycled for the
ascent/descent.

Once in space itself, it would be expected that the most optimum form of
propulsion would ultimately be electromagnetic since such fields pervade
the universe -- e.g., the Earth's electromagnetic field, and that of the
moon, the Sun, and even the entire Galaxy.

IMPORTANT POINT:  Joe postulated that the most optimal point for initiating
ascent/descent on the Earth's surface would be at either of the poles,
where the magnetic flux lines are most concentrated and therefore
strongest.  At lower latitudes -- St. Louis or in Mississippi -- the lift
effect relative to these physical lines of force is not as strong.
Consequently, natural locations on the Earth for such electromagnetic
Spaceports would be in the vicinity of the North or South poles.  And a
simple extrapolation for postulating the most effective way to exit/enter
our own solar system would be from the vicinity of the north or south poles
of our own star.

Aside comment:  Years ago I heard a lecture presented by an astrophysicist
in which he postulated that someday, in the very distant future, our
descendants would be living on the 'surface' of our Sun (recognizing that
the Sun has no precise physical surface, such as the Earth).  As ridiculous
as this statement first sounded to me, he went on to explain that such a
physical location would be optimal in terms of an access to energy and
disposal of physical entropy.  He postulated that by means of a very
advanced electromagnetic shield, a population could create a habitable
environment in close proximity to the Sun.  Advanced, indeed!  I would not
care to be around should the shield fail!

All in all, the St. Louis presentation was a good one and contacts were
made which may prove helpful to the expansion of the technology in the
future.

__________________________________________________________
Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen.

I once read in a popular scientific magazine the following comment:

"THE DAY OF THE LONE RESEARCHER AND INVENTOR IS OVER. In the future, basic
research will the sole domain of research teams presided over by large
industrial concerns."

I could not disagree more with this statement.

On the contrary - when the day of the lone researcher and inventor is over,
our Species is over.

In physical science it has been said that "For ever action, there is an
equal and opposite reaction."  I believe this is also true in volitional
science.  If we actively destroy the incentive of our most highly leveraged
individuals - our innovators - then our entire Species will suffer as a
result in ways we cannot even imagine.

Research "teams" may be valuable in filling in the steps made between the
giant strides of our innovators - but without such innovators the very
advancement of our species to our ultimate destiny - the stars - is at
risk.

I was recently asked the following by someone who had just heard about an
invention you will witness today:  "Well, if this technology is so
important, why haven't I heard of it sooner?"

My response:  "Ask Galileo, ask Semmelweis, and ask Goddard - they could
all provide excellent answers."

This same question could have been asked of the Wright Brothers in 1903.
This same question could have been asked of TSIOLSKOVSKY in the 1890s - but
nobody would have asked - people were too busy ignoring him.  The same
question could have been asked of Goddard in the 1920s - but people were
too busy attacking and ridiculing him for his absurd ideas on rocketry.

The reception to innovation usually proceeds in several stages:  first it's
ignored, then it's ridiculed, then it's attacked, then ... much later ...
it's accepted .... usually after the innovator is dead.  And then, after it
is accepted, there is invariably someone who comes along, looks at the
given innovation and replies, "Well, what's the big deal - this is
obvious."

Well, as Christian Morgenstern once said, "The obvious is that which is
never seen until someone expresses it simply."  Let me repeat this, "The
obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply."

Yet simplicity is a characteristic of all great ideas.  The wheel is
simpler than that which proceeded it.  The aeroplane is a simpler and more
elegant means of transportation.  And, come to think of it, the simplicity
of the Golden Rule can be expressed in only a few words - and yet the
Golden Rule contains more wisdom than the tens of thousands of words it
took to 'regulate the price of cabbage in World War II.'

Washing one's hands prior to a medical operation is a simple and obviously
necessary task.  Yet 150 years ago the innovator of this simple process,
Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis, was attacked and ridiculed by his fellow physicians
for proposing this technique.   He was ultimately driven to despair and
suicide from witnessing the needless and painful deaths of women infected
during childbirth by their own doctors.

I've asked myself this question, "How many people in December of 1903 would
have been truly sensitive to the remarkable innovation of the Wright
Brothers?"

How many people - upon witnessing that early flight of Orville Wright at
Kitty Hawk - would have at that moment realized the monumental significance
of that achievement?

I would suggest than many would have watched without understanding and
would have come away from the demonstration unimpressed.  I say this
because it has been observed that the news media are often reflective of
the consciousness of the people they represent.

And, as a matter of historical record, the Wright Brothers had a brother
named Lorin who - late on December 17, 1903 brought a telegram announcing
their great achievement to the offices of the Dayton JOURNAL and showed the
telegram to Frank Tunison who represented the Associated Press.

The now famous telegram said the following:

"From Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, December 17, 1903:  'Success.  Four
flights Thursday morning all against twenty-one-mile wind.  Started from
level with engine power alone.  Average speed through air was thirty-one
miles.  Longest flight was 59 seconds.  Please inform Press.  Home
Christmas.'  - Orville Wright."

Well, the Associated Press representative Frank Tunison looked at the
telegram and said:

**"59 seconds.  If it were 59 minutes it might be worth mentioning."**

This same newsman refused to report the first flight in our species'
history because he didn't think a flight of less than one minute was a
worthy news item, and he seemed, according to Lorin, annoyed over being
bothered about such nonsense.

Well, when did the majority of newspapers report on this major new event?
The next day?   The next week?  The next month?  The next year?  NO!  We
are STILL waiting for the newspapers to report on the first flight!

I have discovered that CONSISTENTLY, the great discoveries - those
discoveries which affect the way we live our lives across this planet for
generations to come - these great discoveries are usually ignored or go
unrecognized by the vast majority of people at the time of their initial
disclosure.

You may say that such are isolated cases.  I wish this were so, but the
history of science in GENERAL and of innovation IN PARTICULAR says
otherwise.

And another example:  How about the father of rocketry?  Would you not say
that this individual discovered a technology that has had a far-reaching
impact on the lifestyle of every man and woman alive today?  You might say,
"certainly this innovator achieved recognition for his innovation."

Nope.  Wrong again.  Most people don't even know who he is, let alone know
of his achievement.  His name:  KONSTANTIN EDUARDOVICH TSIOLSKOVSKY.  This
19th century innovator was a Russian schoolteacher by day and a rocket
scientist by night.  He was all but ignored by the world until a number of
Soviet historians discovered him years later and made their claim to having
the original pioneer of rocketry.  But while was most productive, his
discovery went largely ignored.

Looking back over the way in which many major innovators have been treated
throughout history - whether it's Galileo being threatened with death for
his ideas, or Goddard being ridiculed for his ideas - is this to be the
FUTURE history of the Spirit of American Innovation?

Will future generations look back at the history of American Innovation and
describe it as follows:  "Such innovation was born in the resiliency of the
Pioneer, and died in the suffocating arms of cynics and bureaucrats."

I hope this is not the case, which is why I make my case for the importance
of the lone innovator.

The cynical and bureaucratic approach has its roots in negativism - which
is the antithesis of innovation.  All too often a bureaucrat's non-creative
solution to a problem facing humanity is to pass more political laws and
regulations that only serve to restrict the creativity of us all - in other
words, **"everything that is not forbidden is compulsory."**  [**stated by
astrophysicist Andrew J. Galambos]

Well, it's time for a change . . . a new beginning.  And the speaker that
you're about to hear has just such a new beginning in mind.

A new beginning is what is needed to launch our species to the stars.  A
new beginning is what is needed to utilize a new technology that harnesses
the very essence of our universe.  As a major astrophysicist of our century
once said:

"Sic Itur Ad Astra" - this is the way to the stars.

A couple of Ohio bicycle mechanics changed history.  A Russian
schoolteacher is the father of modern rocketry.  An obscure Austrian doctor
innovated a complete cure for puerperal fever.   Yes, the day of the lone
innovator is alive and well.

I am sure you have heard the famous quotation, "if I have seen farther than
others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants."  When Isaac
Newton said this, he was standing on the shoulders of Archimedes, of
Copernicus, of Galileo, of Kepler.

The man I am introducing today has also seen farther than others.  And it
is because, in part, because he stands upon the shoulders of Joseph Black,
of Michael Faraday, of James Clerk Maxwell, and of Albert Einstein.

And it was Max Planck who said:  "A new scientific truth does not triumph
by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather
because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is
familiar with it."

Our history of the development of knowledge, of the struggle of innovation
and inventors, represents our effort as a species to understand the
universe.

From a seemingly simple but profound integration of thought processes based
upon direct observation, the speaker you are about to hear has moved our
species closer to a greater understanding of the universe.  Driven by those
loftiest of human attributes - curiosity and enquiry - it is his thirty
year persistence is the face of bureaucratic indifference, stupidity, and
academic intellectual dishonesty, that has enabled him to develop our
access to a new source of energy that is actually as old as the universe
itself.

In essence, the speaker you are about to hear has a personal philosophy
which could best be summed up as follows:  "If it can't be done, it
interests me."

And like the Wright Brothers, whose bicycle shop helped them to finance
their quest to fly in a heavier-than-air machine, the speaker has utilized
his successful inventions to help finance his quest to create and develop a
revolutionary energy machine.

In his endorsement, one physicist who worked extensively with the inventor,
once wrote:  "The future of the human race may be dramatically uplifted by
the large-scale, commercial development of this invention."

Dr. Robert E. Smith, former Chief of the Orbital and Space Environment
Branch at the NASA George C. Marshall Space Flight* Center wrote, regarding
our speaker:  "If the manner in which he 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."

[Aside: *I've always wondered why NASA officials titled their Center thusly
since these words, "Space Flight", in this context, seem to represent a
logical contradiction.]

And Dr. E. L. Moragne, a pioneer in the development of the first atomic
bomb, wrote to the speaker:  "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."

I have personally known the speaker for nearly 14 years. I will make the
following bold statement based upon my knowledge of his work and my
observations over the past decade:  It is my belief that the speaker today
has a deeper and more fundamental _MECHANICAL_ understanding of
electromagnetism than anyone alive on this planet.

And I make this strong statement NOT to brag about the speaker - for whom I
obviously have respect.  I make this bold statement to encourage you, the
listener, to utilize his talents and understanding to the maximum - *while
he is alive*.  Don't repeat the mistakes of our predecessors and provide
recognition after the innovator has passed away.  This only destroys the
incentive of our innovators and impedes for us all, the progress of
civilization.

The inventor himself has said, "The finished prototype of what I teach will
change the world drastically for the good of humanity, more so than any
invention before this time."

Ladies and Gentleman, it is now my pleasure to introduce to you, inventor
Joseph Newman.
_______________________________
Joseph Newman's Gyroscopic Particle Theory _does_ mechanically explain, for
instance, Magnetic Attraction and Repulsion.  Joe goes on to also state and
demonstrate in his work that this fundamental gyroscopic entity is also the
_mechanical_ unifier of the various fields.

I will be the first to state that it would be highly desirable (for
purposes of communication among physicists) to have Joe's mechanical work
translated into mathematics.  I honestly believe this will happen in time.
But one must start somewhere.  Michael Faraday's mechanics were sufficient
to launch a new electromagnetic age in the history of our Species.
Fortunately for us, James Clerk Maxwell considered the mechanically-minded
Faraday a "mathematician of high order" and was himself sufficiently
mechanically gifted to translate such mechanics into mathematical
expression.  I also believe that like Faraday, Joseph Newman will
eventually find his "Maxwell."

Dear Murray --

As they say, "I GLAD YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION?"

There is something every Forum member can do -- if possible:

It is time to rekindle what was done some years ago -- and the opportunity
for success is greater now than then:

As many of you may know, at one point ELEVEN different U.S. CONGRESSMEN
(both Democrats and Republicans) introduced eleven different (but
identically worded) Private Relief Bills to have Congress issue Joseph
Newman a patent directly.  There is precedence for this, and Congress does
have the power to do this since it usually delegates its power in this
regard to the Executive Branch (PTO).

Back at that time, all ELEVEN Bills were blocked by _one_ Congressman:
Congressman Robert Kastenmeier from Wisconsin.  His argument: the case was
currently pending in the Federal Court in Washington and he was unwilling
(as Chairman of the Subcommittee in question where all 11 Bills were
referred) to hold hearings on the eleven Bills.  We, of course, thought his
attitude was ridiculous --- since our position was, "Since when was the
Legislative Branch of government dependent upon what the Judicial Branch of
government was doing?"

But there is something EVEN MORE REVEALING:

Those 11 Congressmen were totally frustrated with Kastenmeier and his lack
of action on their legislation.  At one point it got so bad that several of
the Congressman in support of Joe had written very direct, pointed letters
to Kastenmeier requesting IMMEDIATE ACTION on their legislation.  In many
case Kastenmeier DID NOT EVEN RESPOND to his fellow colleague's letters ( I
understand that this is considered quite a breech of Congressional
behavior).

Well, the following is a _direct quote_ from a reply from Kastenmeier to a
supporter who had originally written Kastenmeier on Joe's behalf:

"At the present, because the issues of patentability are pending in court,
we have no plans to conduct hearings on this issue.  YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW
THAT OFFICIALS OF PRESIDENT REAGAN HAVE INDICATED THEIR OPPOSITION TO MR.
NEWMAN'S PRIVATE RELIEF BILLS.  THUS, UNLESS THE PRESIDENT CHANGES HIS
POSITION, LEGISLATION ON THIS TOPIC IS UNLIKELY."  [Emphasis added.]
__________________________________________________________
When I read these words I was astonished.  So were a number of U.S.
Congressmen!!!

My real question to Kastenmeier:  Since when did a DEMOCRATIC member of the
Legislative Branch of Government (Kastenmeier) care about the position of a
REPUBLICAN President (Executive Branch of Government)?

Something is very wrong here.  This was one of the clues which led us to
understand that those wielding (political) power to stop/delay the
implementation of this technology were controlling not only several
branches of government, but also members of BOTH PARTIES in government.

And Congressman Livingston (one of the 11 Congressmen) wrote to Kastenmeier:

"Dear Bob (Kastenmeier):

"I have recently seen a copy of the correspondence which your Subcommittee
is sending to individuals who contact you about the Joseph Newman/U.S.
Patent Office dispute.

"Your letter states that the private legislation now pending which would
grant Joseph Newman the legal rights to his invention 'seeks to have the
Congress make a scientific judgment that the Newman invention works.'  This
is appallingly inaccurate.  These Bills do not require Congress to make any
scientific determinations at all.  They approach the issue from a strictly
legal standpoint.  More specifically, they require the Secretary of
Commerce to issue a patent to Joseph Newman based on the fact that THE
INVENTOR HAS FULFILLED ALL OF THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS NECESSARY TO
RECEIVE A PATENT.

"The job of Patent Office officials is to determine whether or not the
inventor has complied with these requirements.  Under normal Patent Office
procedures, the evidence which Mr. Newman has submitted to demonstrate the
operability of his device would be sufficient to obtain a patent.
Unfortunately, the Patent Office has shown blatant disregard for its own
established procedures in this case.

"It is not the job of Patent Office officials to serve as a consumer
protection agency or to guarantee operability of any patented device.  If
your staff has done any research into this matter, it would know that, as
well as the fact that _many_ inventions which have received patents later
proved to be inoperable.

"The Subcommittee's letter also states that 'the NBS concluded that
Newman's invention did not produce more energy than was put into it.'  This
is true.  However, the letter fails to mention the fact that the NBS test
results are invalid since NBS officials grounded Newman's machine during
testing, something which the inventor says should not be done when testing
the device for output.  NBS officials have openly admitted this.

"Finally, the letter states that 'official representatives of President
Reagan have indicated their opposition to Mr. Newman's private relief
bills.  Thus, unless the President changes his position, legislation on
this topic is unlikely."  I would like to know who these 'official
representatives' are.  I was unaware that the President had made any
official statement on this subject, and if you could bring to my attention
any information which documents this, I would be most appreciative.

"Thank you for your time and cooperation.  I would sincerely appreciate a
response to this letter.

Sincerely,

CONGRESSMAN ROBERT L. LIVINGSTON
Member of Congress"
__________________________________________________________
Congressman Kastenmeier __NEVER__ responded to the above letter from
Congressman Livingston!
__________________________________________________________
I am happy to report (due in part to our efforts in conjunction with
residents in Wisconsin) --- that Congressman Kastenmeier was defeated in
his bid to retain his Congressional seat --- after over 30 years in
Congress.  [Side note: I was informed by Wisconsin residents that
Kastenmeier was so "entrenched" in Washington, D.C. that he did not even
have a permanent residence (home) in his own district --- his "official
residence" in Wisconsin was a hotel room.]

Murray -- going back to your original question:  "What can I do?"

PLEASE, write your Congressmen and Senators and ask them to introduce new
Private Relief Bills for Joseph Newman --- since Kastenmeier is out of the
picture we have a fresh shot at this!!!  You can even make their job easy
for them by sending them a copy of the exact wording of the original eleven
Bills.  And I will be happy to mail/fax a copy of one of the Bills to
anyone requesting same (or, better yet, send it in gif format).

The following is the original wording of the Eleven different Congressional
Private Relief Bills:
*****************************************************************
"A BILL For the relief of Joseph W. Newman.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of Commerce,
acting through the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks, is authorized
and directed to immediately issue a pioneer patent to Joseph W. Newman for
the invention described in the patent application numbered 179,474 and
filed in August 1980.  Such patent shall be accorded rights equal to the
rights accorded to patents issued title 35, United States Code.
