The test of the bureau of Standards was worthless ,cause they did not
understand the principle...and did not measure all power outputs.


I did a test report myself on my own rebuild Newman-machine at our
University and got 70-130 % overall efficiency, but the whole system
is just too complicated to use it as a free energy machine...

Yes, due to the mechanical commutator and the big coil
it is some kind of this...

Well, yes, these phenomen seems to exist only with the bigger sized
Newman machines. With my little ones, the batteries discharged every
time. So the real interesting machines are the bigger Newman machines
and not his toy motor design.... Seemed he did not understand the
effect later himself, so he went into the wrong direction and did build
smaller machines, than bigger ones...
