Newman press conference

[hartiberlin]

Yes, Sugra,
in my email exchange with Norman Biss it got clear,
that he had no knowledge at all about the Newman technology
and the need of the sparking commutator !
So Newman was probably annoyed, that Biss knew everything
better, but hadn?t studied the technology.

Regards, Stefan.

concerning Norm Biss, I have met with him in person - he made every effort to get the Newman technology to work.   Maybe you think you understand something about Newman technolgy and of course think Biss doesn't see something in there you do.  Fine.  The fact remains that Biss never saw any good evidence the machine had any hope of making E=Mc^2 energy as Newman promised, he found Newman to be very poor at building motors and he found Newman to be unstable and dishonorable.   I've talked to others who have tried to help Newman and reached similar conclusions.   In the many years  since then, Biss has built many working useful motors and generators that make the world a better place and Newman has . . . . . .

Hmm, well, I never met Norman Biss , but I communicated via email with him and
I did see, that he had not the slighest knowledge about the Newman machines
nad I have built Newman motors and they show the same
effects Newman claims and it seems Biss did not build the second motor he wanted to build for Newman
and he never came forward with it. So I don?t trust Biss at all.

I think it is important to see the huge difference between the motor Norman Biss was making at Newman's request (curent carying armature with feromagnetic laminations and fixed PM field) and what Newman had done in the past (air coil, large L/R comes from huge copper mass rather than feromagnetic structure). It is a mystery to me how a "production version" could be so fundamentally different from the "prototype". Common commercial DC motors have a carbon brush and copper or bronze commutator yet do not show the "Newman effect".

Yes, Newman uses just a different commutator to "flush" all the coil energy out after every commutator break, so
there is no overlapping of the commutator segments, which are are in the normal commutators.
so every commutator segment has a long enough gap, so the coil always produces BACK EMF Voltage that
is flowing back to the battery via a spark jump and which recharges the battery and produces these
huge RF bursts, which can power incand. bubls in series with the coil.
