hi --
	First off: Please, no "this is impossible" type letters.  I
	realize that it sounds somewhat more than strange....

	I was watching "The Tonight Show" last night and one of
	Mr. Carson's guests was an inventor named Neumann who had (he
	claimed) invented a device which produced more conventional
	energy that it used.  The kicker was that this device was
	somehow converting *magnetic* energy into electrical energy.
	Since this was "The Tonight Show," there was not exactly an
	in-depth report.  Does anyone know more about this Mr. Neumann
	and his device?

	The US Patent office turned him down because such a device is
	"impossible to make."  I remember that the Wright Bros. were
	told the same thing...

	thanks for any info.
