" I got there for two hours of it. The show went for less than that,
and I had to leave in the middle of the ending questions. It wasn't as
energetic as the Dennis Lee show I had gone to. It was still interesting,
though. And a little strange at times.
The room had the tables next to the door with the sign up sheets.
The tables were in an L shape. The smaller table was going into the room
from the door, and the longer tables went toward the front of the room. On
the corner were the books for sale. The $79.00 books. They were large hard
cover. Then there was an order form to get a tape of the show.
Next was a model of a couple of magnets made by Evan Soule. They has
the lines of
force around them and little beads on the lines. They were so that Soule
could more easily understand what Newman was talking about. There were also
two stack of Soule's business cards. Then there were the charts of how
magnetic currents work and a picture of Newman next to his car. There were
also a lot of newspaper articles about him on the table. Back next to the
tapes there was also some free literature. I got some extra copies to send
you.
The chairs were set up in two sets of 49 chairs, 7x7 rows. An aisle
was in the middle of the room, and a tv with a vcr in front. There was also
a camera in front of the tv.
The stage had the motor on the left side set on two supports. A
long table in the middle of the stage had a microphone and some mechanical
things. There was a dynamometer and a small motor. The small motor he
talked about later.
The show started with the tv. The tape showed old
news reports of Newman's shows. One news station went to his house and
tested it. They said that they used a couple of small batteries which could
run a normal motor for a little over a minute, and were discharged, to run
his motor for over an hour. They then put them into the first motor again,
and they ran the motor for a couple of minutes. The tape also had him on a
show saying that his motor works because it works with a law that's not
understood. That the magnetic field comes from the energy in the matter as
well as the current. He talks about getting a %100 matter to energy
conversion on a part of the tape. There were physicists and engineers on
the tape who said that they agree with it. Newman said that there's 30 who
signed a paper saying that they do. I couldn't see all of the names with
some people in front of me. Some got on the tape. The two I wrote down
were Dr. Hastings, who Newman said later sold out, and the other was Brent
Spellman from Rayovac batteries. There was also a mention of Dr. Robert
Smith from NASA and Dr. Morana (sp) who worked on the atomic bomb.
Next Evan Soule spoke for a while. He mostly talked about how great
this was and compared Newman's problems with the patent office and other
people to the problems of the the Wright brothers and other scientists and
ancient philosophers.
Then Newman talked. He said that Evan had taken some people to his
house to look at the machine. He said that the engineers there said that it
worked.
Newman started out talking about his beginnings at an early age
wondering why bullets moving at high speed skipped off of water while he was
duck hunting, then blowing holes in trees. He read a thing in a Time book
on energy and said that he saw similarities in the lake experiment. He said
that no one could explain the changes in the field and a current as you move
a conductor to different positions. I guess you've probably already heard
of his gyroscope particle theory that he uses to explain it.
He talked about Hastings selling out. Hastings sold the small motor
to the Johnson Motor company. He said that the smaller motor would run at 3
hp from 600 watts. He confused me because he started saying that 3 hp
should be able to generate a couple of thousand watts.
He got into conspiracies here. He said that the owner of the
Johnson company is also the owner of the Mobile oil company. This motor
that they stole also cools the wires instead of heating them from the
current. He said that the company is selling that motor all over the world
for millions of dollars. They also had an ad for the motor. He says that
when he put the real information on the web, they took out their ad and made
a smaller one. He also said somewhere that they aren't making the same
motor anymore. He's suing a patent attorney who said that the engineers
didn't think it would work, even after they had said it did work.
He turned to the dynamometer that he was going to use for the
demonstration. He showed how it wasn't working and the demonstration
couldn't be done with it. But the people could go onto the stage after the
show and they would rewire it to run without the dynomometer attached.
Newman said that he met up with a guy named Jim, who was there, and
tried to help Newman with a company in the east. Alliance Motors said that
they wanted to build them. Newman said that he and Jim built most of the
motor and they tested it. He said that the engineers there stuffed four
magnets onto the ends and it wouldn't move. So he put two brushed on the
ends instead and it moved slowly. He said that they tried to stop it but
couldn't. They tried to push wood into it and that they tried putting wood
boards on the ends and standing on them, but they couldn't get it to stop.
And he said that it wouldn't take in any more than 300 watts. The company
wanted to bring in GE engineers, but Newman wouldn't let them because of
past problems with them and other engineers.
He said that the head of the company signed a contract saying that
he would get all of the company in the east. He just couldn't tell anyone
about the machine yet.
More of the conspiracy came up here. He says that they took the
motor apart to keep him there and put it back together and couldn't get it
to work. They called the FBI, who held Jim at the company, and threatened
his wife over the phone. They threatened to go to his house on his son's
birthday and arrest Newman. He said that they hired an attorney to say that
the contract never existed.
Then it was the questioning time. A question about the patent came
up. Newman said he has a patent. he said that the patent is in Mexico and
is also good here and in Canada because of NAFTA.
The electric bill question came up. He said that he doesn't use his
machine on his house because the oil companies would just send people there
to dig up the house and check for any other power source. He said it
happened to another person once who really had a steam engine running in the
basement. It would still make sense for him to use it, though. He keeps
talking about how limited his money is, so selling energy back to the grid
all the time would make him plenty of money, if it worked.
He said he's going to start a company in Phoenix. He will be making
the motors and selling them to the people for about $5,000-$6,000. He said
that the one on the stage can run a 10kw generator, but the motor will only
take about 700 watts to run. Someone asked if it would run a 200 amp house.
He said that most houses are 100 amps and the motor will run it. The
person pointed out that it would need to be a 20kw generator for a 100 amp
200 volt house. Things got confusing then about who's question he was
answering. Someone else said that the motor would need to be about 4 times
bigger to run a 200 amp house. Newman said that it doesn't matte since the
energy will still be free.
Newman got into god. He said that a Rabbi from Israel told him that
he could create peace there with the machine and he had some vision from god
or something. He said that the Rabbi said that it was prophecy. The Rabbi
went back to New York and never contacted Newman again. Newman called him
and told the Rabbi that he knew who threatened him. The Rabbi said that
they would all go to hell.
Someone asked about the batteries. Newman said that the batteries
would need to be replaced after about four years, but he knows that better
batteries can be made to withstand the recharging from the machine.
They were getting close to getting the ends off of the motor. He
said that it would run at about 10-15 hp and that he would give people
gloves to try to stop it. He said that it wouldn't be given any more than
700 watts. he also told the people that they could try stopping it by
standing on it if they wanted.
He's suing the government for their part in his problems. And he
said that God gave him the patent in Mexico. I don't think he meant it
literally.
I missed a little of what happened. Mostly just more people he's
proven it to and more conspiracy stuff. Rayovac batteries had some contract
with him to make a better battery and then turned on him. Milton Everett
(sp), who was there, brought Mississippi DOE people to Newman's house show
them it works. Things like that. But that's generally what happened. You
can listen to the tape when you get it. It's a little hard to hear at
times, but it's mostly understandable."
