Electromagnetic energy can be rendered useful by means other than atomic or chemical chain reactions. Specifically, a rotating permanent magnet spinning inside an electromagnetic pulsating conducting coil utilizes the coil's mass-energy and turns it into torque.

Theory violation Output energy per unit time exceeding input energy per same time violates the Conservation of Energy and the Laws of Thermodynamics because electric motor windings are not a source of energy, contrary to Newman's claims.

The Energy Machine of Joseph Newman is a DC motor which the inventor claims will produce mechanical power exceeding the electrical power being supplied to it. In the 1980's, Newman attempted to patent the device, but was rejected by the United States Patent Office. When the rejection was later appealed, the United States district court requested that Newman's machine be tested by the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). The NBS concluded that the input power was greater than the output. The test results were published in June 1986 and concluded that it was not a perpetual motion machine,[1] and the patent was again denied.[2] Newman later withdrew the patent.[1] Newman's ideas about electricity and magnetism have been described as pseudoscientific and his claims false.

Claims by the inventor

Newman claims that the motor derives its power by converting some of the mass of the copper in the coils into usable energy. In support of this, he has developed his own theory of the electromagnetic interaction of atoms within matter.[3] According to proponents of the Energy Machine, the most crucial part of the design concerns what happens as a result of mechanical commutation. [4][5] Most scientists think that Newman's independent conclusions are in direct conflict with the laws of classical electrodynamics, and no articles in respected textbooks or peer reviewed journals make any direct references to them.

NBS Test Results of the Joseph Newman Device

U.S. patent application

In 1983, a United States Patent and Trademark Office patent application[6] for Newman's electric motor was rejected, which set off a lengthy court battle. The National Bureau of Standards (NBS), now known as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), by request of the patent office, tested the device for several months and got negative results.[1] In every case presented in the NBS report, the output power was less than power input from the battery pack, and therefore the efficiency was less than 100%.[1] The court therefore upheld the rejection of the patent application.[7]

The case is now cited in the USPTO's Manual of Patent Examining Procedure as an example of an "inoperative" invention that can't have any utility, concretely as a perpetual motion machine.[8]

Perpetual motion controversy

See also: Mass–energy equivalence and First law of thermodynamics

Newman claims that his device derives its power by converting a small fraction of the mass in the Copper coils into energy, and that it is therefore not a perpetual motion machine[5]. Skeptics argue that regardless of the exact mode of operation, if the output power is higher than the required input electrical power, the device should be capable of running "closed-loop", producing excess power without external batteries.[citation needed] Such operation has never been demonstrated.

Legal controversy

In August 2007 the state of Alabama Securities Commission issued a cease and desist order against the "Newman Energy Corp", because it was selling unregistered securities of its company.[9]
