Trevo Uff onary Energy machine undergoing fess Washington a Mississippi inventor Joseph w. Newman on Friday delivered a prototype of his controversial Energy machine to government engineers for testing the latest move in a Long Effort to get a Patent on the device. Critics contend that the machine which Newman Calls a revolutionary Energy de vice defies the Laws of physics. In delivering the machine to the National Bureau of. Standards Newman complied with a Federal appeals court order issued last week that said he must produce the device for testing if he wishes to pursue his Patent application. The machine accompanied by new Man s lawyer John Flannery was delivered in a Bright Orange crate to the Bureau s engineering testing Laboratory in Gaithers Burg my. Mat Heyman a Bureau spokesman said the device was taken into the lab and locked away for Security. We Are treating it the same As we would treat evidence in a court Case Heyman said in an interview.

District court judge Thomas Jackson last october set restrictions As to who could be present at the testing and gave the . Office of patents and trademarks control of the machine after the trials. Newman filed an Appeal contending that the order would allow the Patent office to destroy the device if it chose to see How it worked. The appeals court called the proposal to bar Newman from the tests unreason Able and said it should not be necessary to dismantle or destroy the machine to see if it works. The first thing monday morning our engineers will begin working out a test plan Heyman said. We have no plan to dismantle or destroy any part of the device unless we have an explicit order from the  Heyman said no one knew How Long the tests would last but we will do this As quickly and thoroughly As  Newman has been seeking a Patent on his impossible Energy machine for More than six years. Patent examiners say the device looks like another proposal for a perpetual motion machine one that would produce More Energy than it uses so that it could run for Ever. Such a machine has been the goal of inventors for centuries but conventional science says such a device is impossible. Newman contends that his device is not & perpetual motion machine but a revolution Ary Energy source that uses the previously unknown magnetic properties of Copper coils to release More Energy than it con Sumes.

The United states has refused to pro vide Taiwan with an advanced aircraft to replace the f 5e. China has been discussing purchasing advanced Mili tary equipment in several Western countries but has bought relatively Little american officials said. In part the reluctance was due to China s not wanting to appear to be allying itself militarily with the West.
