  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Anyone want batteries that never need to be charged?

Hey Jim,

Very impressed with your 3d mapping technique or poor man's motion control. A really great example of how "existing laws" or conventional wisdom can be changed ;-)

Doing things for "feel good" sake seems to be at an all time high right now doesn't it?

The worst part of the ethanol thing is that the corn industry uses mammoth amounts of fertilizer that not only pollute but require lots and lots of oil to produce. It is a losing proposition for the environment.

Here's another one to consider about the corn industry -- High Fructose Corn Syrup. It's replaced cane and beet sugar in many/most products as a sweetener over the past 15 years or so; because it's cheaper and more concentrated. It also has preservative and anti-bacterial properties that increase shelf-life of the foods it's used in. Sounds great, eh? Well many many medical studies have linked its use to a rise in diabetes and kidney disorders and there may be possible links to increased obesity too. The jury is still out on a lot of that, but I'm inclined to think these small studies are heading down the right track. Sugar may rot your teeth and make you fat if you eat too much of it, but it's still better for you than any of the alternatives that people have come up with.
 
Corn lobby BAD...way too much clout; we really need some leadership in Washington.

Ace thanks for that. I watched all his vids and they were pretty cool. Am I the only one though that thinks Newman decided to try and invent this motor to run his grow op lights for free? The dude shure looks and sounds like he burns one down on a regular basis.
 
Ya I watched that vid already and it cracked me up. The advantage for hydroponics was exactly what I thought was going through his head. We have a ton of it up here in Alberta and BC (big big operations) in fact I heard the Canadian hydro bud was so full of THC that the Hells Angels up here were trading it with US dealers almost pound for pound for coke. I guess they can cut the Canadian bud with branch and leaves and make it go a really long ways. They actually busted an underground tunnel between BC and the US just a little while ago. I have seen on the news some of the busts they have made on the grow ops and it is crazy how big they are. To bring it back to power it seems like that is often the way the operations are discovered.
 
This guy is way stoned. Step away from the bong Newman. LOL

Depends... will they make me sterile?

If so... maybe.

In regards to the webpage: How does it take 6 months and dozens of scientists to figure out if the energy going in is less than the energy going out?

Giving me a $40 radioshack multimeter and 20 minutes alone with the thing and I'll be able to give you a pretty good idea of its feasibility.
 
Looks like maybe the weed has helped give good old Newman some ideas and inspiration. Maybe the RED team works off the same system (LOL).

Curt your still up? Is this what your typical engineering types use for inspiration?

I have met many a director that are possitive it helps them be creative (LOL).
 
I would be tempted to say being a quack almost gives him more credibility. Throughout history those that have created or achived the most have often been the quackiest SOB's around.

Or at least thats what I keep telling myself with one of the many voices I hear. In fact the one that sounds a lot like James Earl Jones just reiterated it.

LOL I hear back in the day some dude was like "The world is round you retards!" and everyone thought he was nuts...:)

I watched a few of the earlier videos he posted, looks interesting.

Just to play devils "conspiracy theory" advocate here... maybe its big oil companies and governments making Newman look silly. If he could manage to really get this thing out there and working, totally destroy those billion dollar oil machines.:usd:
 
I'd say he looks silly pretty much on his own.

If any of these gadgets work I'll see them in my walkman a year or two from now. If they don't work. I won't.

I don't see why there has to be so much drama around these things or why they feel the need for a room full of scientists to prove/disprove the thing before they're willing to commercialize. The fact of the matter is: the day they release the first commercial model (if it works) someone will reverse engineer it and the secret will be out.

Wow, Chuck has serious issues.

First of all, he's not inventing anything... He's building a Newman motor (aka, The Newman Machine). Which really isn't even Joseph Newman's own invention -- the dude just credited himself with it about 20 years ago or somewhere about then. The guy is a completely wacko religious fanatic, who 15 years ago was preaching that in the year 2000, certain doom and the second coming of a Messiah from God (not Jesus, someone new) would come to pass.

Anyway, the Newman Machine was not Newman's idea or invention and it's not a free energy device, according to it's true inventor, Amos Whitney. ...Amos is the guy who co-founded the Pratt and Whitney company in 1860, which today is one of the world's largest developers and manufacturers of aircraft engines. Newman wasted over $1M in investors' money trying to patent "his" motor design and he was never successful doing so.

Whitney's magnetic motor, is nothing more than a large, slow-spinning electric motor that can produce a lot of torque in comparison to the amount of engergy put into it due to the mass of the magnets used and their positioning. The basic theory is 2 or more very strong magnets are positioned around a central axle so that they assert an attractive force on one another. A wire coil is constructed around the magnet space just like you see in most any electric motor. Once the motor is started, it only needs to draw just enough power to stimulate enough of the magnetic mass to counter gravity and other resistive forces. The mass / inertia of the magnets helps too.

During the '60s and early '70s when voltaics were viewed as an up and coming industry, there was a revival of Whitney's motor. And several people successfully combined batteries, solar panels and these magnetic motors to make a machine that would run indefinitely. Solar panels could keep the battery charged, it in turn could sustain the motor. Many tried to sell these motors commercially for purposes like pumping water.

In the Chuck2na videos, his motor could probably run for days, maybe even a week or more before that battery is drained. Also with some designs, including the design Newman attempted to patent, a brush-style generator is often incorproated to feed power back into the battery system. As the motor turns, some power does return to the battery and it gives the false impression that it could be self sustaining. But once again, the amount of energy expended is still greater than the returns and by feeding generated power back into the system, it probably only gains 10% or so...
