To whom it may concern:
     Today, I had the oppurnity to attend the first public showing of the
Energy Machine of Joseph Newman.  For those of you not familiar with Mr.
Newman and his "energy machine":  It seems that a man from a place called
Lucedale, Mississippi has invented a motor that has a production efficiency
of over 800% (yes, that is correct, eight hundred percent).  Somehow, this
rather small (less than 2 feet high and 1 foot wide) device consisting of
over 200 pounds of copper wire can put out more external energy than the
amount of external energy put into it.  The demonstration given today at
the New Orleans Hilton consisted of a panel of about 8 competent scientists
who spoke of the machine with words like (quote) "The future of the human
race may be drastically uplifted by the large scale commercial development
of this invention".  I purchased a copy of Mr. Newman's book which explains
the principles behind this machine.  Upon Patent Office approval, Newman
plans to begin production on his machine.  Within a year, the average home
could be powered by a Newman energy machine in the backyard costing around
$3000.  The machine which I saw operate today used several lantern batteries
for a power source... connected to the machine's ouput leads were a neon
sign and about 12 florescent tubes (each 5 feet long).  When Newman threw
the switch, the lights and sign started to blink on and off... the only
movement seen in the machine itself was a spark every tenth of a second or
so.  Obvisouly, 12 florscent tubes cannor be powered by a few lantern 
batteries, and there was NO trickery to be seen... it seems that the machine
was actually putting out more energy than it was taking in... the energy
being generated by the machine was coming directly for the conversion of
copper to energy (E=MC^2).  Needless to say, I was very intrigued.
     It seems that since March 22, 1979 Mr. Newman has been trying to obtain
a patent for the U.S. Patent Office; but they have refused on what seems to
be "arbitrary, capricious, and contradictory treatment" of Mr. Newman and
his invention.  I am more than willing to provide more information on what
I have learned so far about Joseph Newman and his energy machine... I'd like
to know what the educated community thinks about this man and his machine.
