The following is the original letter from Thomas Bearden regarding energy machine inventor Joseph Newman's pioneering work:

"Mr. Newman is a successful inventor with patented, marketed inventions. He is level-headed, sober, sane, and reliable. Further, he does have a very good Theory to explain what he has done. Many Doctors of Physics and Doctors of Electrical Engineering have already visited him, seen and tested the Motor, examined his Theory, and come away convinced that Joe Newman has what he says he has.

"As one might expect, the patent commissioners' responses have been totally inappropriate. Joe Newman has yet to have a fair shake, and he certainly deserves a patent, simply on the credentials of the scientists and engineers who have already examined the device and testified that it works.

"Newman's machine is clean as a newborn baby and non-polluting. In production it will be simple, cheap, practical, and imminently affordable by the average person.

"For that very reason, the entire massive energy cartel and control groups of the world are arrayed against him. They will see to it that Newman is destroyed unless powerful assistance and countermeasures are taken immediately. As you so well understand, Joe Newman doesn't have a TECHNICAL problem; he has a POLITICAL problem."

----- THOMAS BEARDEN, 1984

There are individuals who have copied the work of Joseph Newman and in some cases have attempted to claim it as their own.

The following is quoted from the January-February, 1986 issue of INFINITE ENERGY NEWSLETTER, Volume 1, Number 7, written by Gary Kring, NEF President, page 13:

"...I received a xeroxed copy of an article in LET'S TALK MAGAZINE, a publication of radio station KABC in Los Angeles, send to me by NEF members, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Hay. The article was written by Bill Jenkins, the host of the "Open Mind Show." A year or so ago, Jenkins had interview a theoretical physicist named Tom Bearden on his program. "We were discussing Nikola Tesla and T. Henry Moray," writes Jenkins, "and the very real prospect of today's science finally being able to achieve what those physicists had sone years ago: tap an energy source which was limitless and free."

"John Bedini, a young designer of audio devices and speakers, was listening to the program. Impressed with Bearden's ideas, Bedini began tinkering with his own energy multiplication device. After long conversations with Bearden of Alabama on the phone and much testing, Bedini was sure he had a device that put out more energy than it took in.

"Mr. Bedini had not wanted to patent the device but rather make it immediately available to the people of the world. When radio host, Bill Jenkins, got word of the device, he sent Dr. Patrick Flanagan, an electronics genius in his own right, to test it. "It worked," says Jenkins. "He had successfully developed a device that literally draws upon the free electrons which swirl around us, all the time, and harnessed them into doing work.

"Seeking to understand more about the nature of this alleged 'free energy' device, I read the text of a speech by Thomas Bearden, titled, 'Toward a New Electromagnetics,' as it appeared in an edition of Energy Unlimited. Bearden states that 'the universe is filled with fantastic amounts of anenergy; ultimately, that is what the universal vacuum is.' Anenergy, Bearden defines as a flow or flux of virtual particles -- bringing to mind Joseph Newman's concept of gyroscopic particles." (end of quote from INFINITE ENERGY NEWSLETTER)

__________________________________________________________________

The point of the above information is that Bedini apparently "learned" how to construct such a device from Mr. Bearden. Mr. Bearden in turn apparently "learned" how to build such a device from two gentlemen (friends of Bearden) whom he sent from Huntsville, Alabama to visit Joseph Newman and see a working prototype in the early months of 1984 --- we have a photograph of their visit with Joseph Newman. Those two gentleman reported back to Mr. Bearden as to how Joseph Newman's machine operated. One could easily hypothesize as to why Bedini wasn't interested in patenting the invention: it wasn't his to patent in the first place.

Joseph Newman had originally filed a patent application five years earlier (before 1984). And that patent application was, in turn, based upon more than 14 years of research and experimentation by Joseph Newman dating back to the mid-1960s.

Moreover, Thomas Bearden's "anerergy particles" --- Joseph Newman's gyroscopic particles [a.k.a. "gyroscopic massergies"] --- specifically originate from the magnetic fields generated in the coil and magnet rotor of Joseph Newman's Motor/Generators. Joseph Newman has described that mechanical process in great detail in his fundamental book.

Joseph Newman has described his technology as "producing greater external energy output than external energy input." [EEO>EEI]

That occurs in accordance with the concept that "energy cannot be created or destroyed --- only converted from one form to another." It is PRECISELY for that reason that he originally began his pioneering research in the mid-1960s. And, since his technology does indeed produce greater external energy output than external energy input, it represents a fundamental corroboration of the First Law of Thermodynamics and extends the concept into the ELECTROMAGNETIC "conversion"* of mass to energy.

*Actually, in a very fundamental sense, it is incorrect to claim that mass is "converted" into energy. Operationally speaking, the fundamental units are TRANSFERRED from one domain in the universe to another. Such fundamental units are simultaneously "mass" and "energy".

To further explain ---

Joseph Newman has never called his pioneering technology either "free-energy" or "zero-point-energy". The term "free-energy" is actually scientifically inappropriate: the technology is neither "free" in an economic sense NOR in a scientific sense. Why? Because:

1) It does cost SOME amount of resources/money to build a unit and,

2) The energy output DOES have to come from somewhere --- in this case from the atomic domains of the copper conductor.

The correct way to view the technology is that Joseph Newman is transferring gyroscopic massergies (originally termed gyroscopic particles by Joseph Newman) from one domain in the universe to another. Another way to describe the technology (as stated above) is to say that the energy machine "generates greater external energy output than external energy input" (EEO>EEI).

I will make the following statement and THEN I will "correct it":

The above statement will enable someone not familiar with the technology to better understand what is happening.

Actually, mass is never "converted" to energy. Why? Because "mass" and "energy" are not only equivalent but such terminology represents two macroscopic manifestations of the SAME phenomena.

The fundamental unit of the universe is the gyroscopic massergy.

All atoms and all subatomic particles are composed of combinations of gyroscopic massergies. The gyroscopic massergy "perpetually" spins at "c" (the speed of light) and moves in some direction at "c". Thus, the gyroscopic massergy is the mechanical equivalent of Einstein's equation of e = mc^2. However, the gyroscopic massergy is not "mass" one instant and then "energy" the next instant. The gyroscopic massergy is simply what it IS: it is something that is simultaneously BOTH mass AND energy!

It is how WE perceive it at different times that WE choose to describe it as either "energy" or "mass". But, from the gyroscopic massergy's perspective it is what it is --- and NEVER changes its mechanical behavior.

It is therefore correct to say that gyroscopic massergies are physically TRANSFERRED (not "converted") from one domain or location in the universe to another. When they are operating in one location (as within the atomic domains of the copper conductor), WE choose to call them "mass". When they are physically transferred to another location (as moving down the length of the copper conductor), WE choose to call them "energy". But they, themselves, are unchanging in their fundamental mechanical behavior and cannot be created nor destroyed.

Thus, Joseph Newman does not subscribe to the "ZPE" concept: that the energy produced by his Motor/Generator comes from the "aether".

The source of the gyroscopic masserges ARE the atomic domains of the copper conductor.

The true pioneer of this revolutionary technology is Joseph Newman.
