The story I heard was that the machine was not actually "creating"energy
so much as utilizing a small amount of energy to tap into the earth's 
magnetic field to help set up a current. I'll admit to being a bit
sceptical, yet I've not heard of a good explaination of what is going
on with Newman's set-up. I'd be interested in hearing more of Newman's
theory AND the objecting theories. 

Anyone got any definitive info?
