For example, he claims the pump is running with a 10ft head, using
this as an argument that it is doing work. In reality the output
hose does go up 10 ft, but then it goes down 10ft (it's just flung
over a 10 ft ladder) . . .
It is a siphon, in other words. There would be a transient pressure
increase as the hose fills up, unless it is already filled with water
before it is raised.
(Roman aqueduct builders used inverted siphons and I think they had
some positive, uphill siphons. Both call for watertight and airtight
pipelines. I have often wondered how they managed to start the flow
of water through a positive siphons. I suppose they blocked the ends,
hauled water up the hill to the high point, and filled the pipeline.)
Newman does not appear to understand some elementary concepts such as
the siphon. Many years ago when I spoke with him, he did not appear
to know the difference between AC and DC electricity, and why it is
important to use different kinds of electric meters. A prominent
Japanese researcher who claimed a magnetic motor effect made this same mistake.
I cannot judge whether Newman really does not understand what a
siphon is, or whether he understands and he is trying to deceive his
audience. When we discussed the power meters, he seemed sincerely
confused. I know many fringe inventors who I think are making
mistakes, but they sincerely believe their own claims, so it is not
fair to call them "scams." Anyway, we should not try to be
mind-readers so it is more appropriate to say Newman is wrong, and
leave it at that.
If Newman were to demonstrate the gadget in front of an educated
audience of engineers or scientists, the moment he threw the hose
over the ladder and announced that it now has a 10 foot head people
would laugh and tell him he is wrong, so I suppose this audience is
either uneducated, or they are only watching for amusement only and
they do not take him seriously.
It should be noted that some educated observers have examined the
Newman device, and they feel there may be something to it.
