The
REPORT OF TESTS ON JOSEPH NEWMAN'S
DEVICE
National Bureau of Standards
National Engineering Laboratory
Will have to check if this report was peer reviewed.
It says:
4.6 Direction of Power Flow
The sign of the measured input power indicated that the battery pack was
supplying net power to the device or, equivalently, that the device was not
charging the battery pack. That is to say, power was flowing from the battery
to the device -under -test and not from the device -under -test to the battery..
To demonstrate that the signs were correct, a nominal 1-megohm resistor was
placed in parallel with the device -under -test and the appropriate commutator
brush was lifted so that no power was able to flow into the device. In this
configuration the power was clearly flowing from the battery to the resistor
and the measured polarity of the power flow was the same as it was when the
battery powered the device -under- test
The net power flow is given and these were not generally rechargeable.
But what about when the total power drawn and measured is more in a
feedback loop circuit than can be drawn without?
The reasonable answer is that power can flow both ways to some extent regardless of the
sign nomenclature the report was overly preoccupied with.
A big oversight and the measured electrical output conclusion was not greater.
Regardless of the electrical measuring devices physical watts cannot be disproved!
