I found about about him on the show "Beyond Tomorrow ", It was a segment they did called "Beyond Energy" I believe.
I would be very interested in knowing what kind of research you're working on, I'm guessing it's either hydrothermal or hydro-electric or wind or solar. Hey, if it's a secret, no need to tell. Most probably hydrothermal though.
God, I hope you're not researching Deep Ocean Drilling or The Best Way to Chop Down A Mountain to get at the Coal. If you are, you're part of the problem, not part of the solution. If you're not, I apologize in advance.
I guess if you're a scientist you're familiar with the positive and negative attraction of magnets. His machine works on this on a grand scale. You don't have to be interested in this, but NASA is.
How much did you learn about rare earth magnets at school? Probably not much because The Gas, Oil, Coal and Nuclear Industries want you.
Check out some of his 20 years of videos and please keep an open mind.
He doesn't spend any money on the website, he spends his money on R&d, the money he gets for the patents he holds, just can't seem to get one for this. It's not hard to see why, once again, there are almost 10 million jobs in the energy business, wouldn't be a good thing if everyone could make their own energy, would it!
I hope you were joking about the Joe Newman thing. I had a look at the link and it is pure quackery. As a researcher working in alternative energy I find frauds like him extremely frustrating because they tarnish the legitamate work that is going on.
