Long ago, when he first surfaced, I visited Newman and saw both his early huge motor and large collection of primary batteries.
He told me the batteries had been supplied by Ray O Vac. So, I contact the engineer who supplied them. He told me that the coil generated so much RF energy that the layer which normally forms and causes primary cells to stop functioning after their normal lifetime, was apparently prevented from forming due to the RF field, consequently, Newman believed he was recharging the cells. However, he was not. When the chemical content was finally exhausted, they would, of course, stop functioning. This is not to say large coils may not have interesting features. --- On Fri, 11/6/09, Harvey Norris <harv...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Harvey Norris <harv...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [Vo]:Robert Park on Newman free energy To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Date: Friday, November 6, 2009, 10:04 PM --- On Fri, 11/6/09, Horace Heffner <hheff...@mtaonline.net> wrote: > From: Horace Heffner <hheff...@mtaonline.net> > Subject: [Vo]:Robert Park on Newman free energy > To: "Vortex-L" <vortex-l@eskimo.com> > Date: Friday, November 6, 2009, 10:59 PM > From: What's New 6 November > 2009: > > MAGNETS: NEVER PAY ANOTHER ELECTRIC BILL. > The first time I heard that promise it was made by Joseph > W.

By electronics friend said; "What are you doing, that isn't his idea at all, you must use batteries ect to see this overunity effect. I wasn't interested in that I just wanted to see the raw mechanics of large air core 20,000 wind coils. And during my experimentation I discovered things as an offshoot of his ideas. I discovered things easily thought impossible, such as continuous central magnetic rotor propulsion from four outer field coils that never reverse polarity, but two coils shut off for the reverse action. It may be true that Newman's business is hocus pocus, but just because he proposed it: this led to research by amateur garage scientists such as myself that for my case has led into exhausting investigations over the years on large induction coils such as those used by Newman for his field coils. During Newman's Heyday he announced that due to his long coil wire length on the field coils he could trap electron oscillation within the wire length itself by the commutation established by the magnetic rotor. To me at the time this seemed preposterous. The speed of light is quite high and to propose that the electrical impulse itself can be reversed before it completes its journey of wire travel by impulse speed, thus trapping an interior portion of the drift charge oscillation so that the electrons entering and exiting the endings of the coil are less quantity then the actual amount of electron oscillation of amp-turn input of field coil magnetic field to act on the field rotor, ect.... Circa 20 some years later... I have measured these so called standing waves on large 70 lb 23 gauge ~ 60 H large air core induction coils and found this to be ~ 3600 hz, 2/3 less then the C value. The Newman commutator was made to provide as many "blinks" as feasible during EACH duration of polarity needed to rotate the magnet. During each of these breaks the induction arc allows the high frequency oscillation to occur during the duration of the arcing itself. During this duration it does not seem unreasonable to assume that the magnetic field in the correct direction to propel the magnetic rotor will do so, but in contrast when the high frequency oscillation reverses polarity it obviously is in the incorrect direction to propel the magnetic rotor. But during this period the battery source is being recharged. That charge movement made on that half of the hf oscillation is reduced in amplitude because it is doing work against its emf source, but it is also using the rotation of the magnet rotor as a generator principle instead of a motor one to accomplish this... Of course the whole thing sounds like robbing Peter to pay Paul, doesn't it? Leaves one wondering if it can be possible. HDN
