Well I thought I'd do a little research as the National Press Club, which does host very distinguished invited speakers very frequently, and is an organization that I hold in fairly high esteem. It turns out that the National Press Club does not list any event including any Joseph Newman so while he may be hosting his "News Conference" at the NPC he is not speaking to the NPC a big difference. So unless there's been some mistake on the press clubs event listing it looks like a manufactured grab for legitimacy. Keith Addison wrote:
Hi Bob It's a hardy perennial - it last came up two years ago, with much amusement over such things as the magical gas pump that never runs out, the wonders of poteen, green cheese, and pickled leprechauns (hence their scarcity), along with an expert opinion that heavier-than-air machines do indeed not fly. I think your advice on wallets might be apt. Whatever happened to Dennis Lee? No disrespect Scott, but you must also be new to thermodynamics. Newman's BS has been around for years, but that's all it is. What is it about magnets that so mystify people? Hmm... another hardy perennial... I do hope we aren't going to have magnets strapped to our fuel lines again. That makes for serious flame wars, judging from past experience. I think I banned them at one stage, didn't I? By popular demand. Best Keith From His webpage: "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 mass (copper coil) into energy (in accordance with E=mc^2) via a highly efficient electromagnetic reaction rather than an inefficient fission reaction." Hold on to you wallet if he is around. Scott wrote: <snip> Oh, I almost forgot. For those interested in other forms of alternate energy, there will be a press conference at the National Press Club next Monday afternoon. Joseph Newman will explain and demonstrates his newest energy machine prototype 1pm Monday, March 28, 2005 - Energy News Conference - DC National Press Club - - NEW ENERGY TECHNOLOGY DEMO - Newman Energy Machine News Conference [1]http://www.josephnewman.com Joseph Newman will display/demonstrate his newest energy machine that is a quantum leap above his earlier energy machine technology. As the price of oil escalates, Joseph Newman's energy machine is an inexpensive, non-polluting electromagnetic source for the world's energy needs. This technology provides access to virtually unlimited energy that is abundant, inexpensive, and environmentally-friendly. The Newman energy machine is an electromagnetic motor that runs COOL (unlike ALL conventional motors) and harnesses the elemental forces of the universe in accordance with the 1st Law of Thermodynamics. The Newman energy machine will provide a stable and durable alternative to oil, gas, coal, and nuclear energy sources. This technology will power every automobile, home, appliance, farm, factory, ship, and plane at a FRACTION of the present cost of energy. A worldwide inexpensive energy source will have profound geopolitical implications for the Middle East. -- Kenneth Kron President Bay Area Biofuel [2]http://www.bayareabiofuel.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 415-867-8067 What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it!
