> Anyone heard anything recently about the Joe Newman "Energy Machine".

   A recent issue of SCIENCE NEWS contained a short article about the
 status of Newman's invention.  The National Bureau of Standards, who
 had been requested by the Patent Office to review Newman's device,
 produced their final report.  Using a lot of equipment to monitor
 both the amplitude and phase of voltages and current at many points,
 the NBS reported that Newman's invention does not produce more mechanical
 energy than is consumed in electrical energy from its numerous batteries.

   Another engineering professor who had read the NBS report said that
 Newman may have a particularly efficient electric motor, and that may
 be of value, but no new principles have been discovered by Newman.
 Of course, Newman is not satisfied with the NBS report and still wants
 a patent for his device as an energy machine.

   Perhaps some engineering journal may provide more details about the
 NBS report, especially now that the principles of electricity and
 mechanics have been reaffirmed.
