I would imagine your scientific training and educational background (whom I've taken advantage of at times!) has taught you how important it is to continuously check one's data. Consider the possibility that certain (inventors) may for their own personal reasons not share this view as ardently as you. IMHO, what has been called a scam operation here is more the result of the overpowering need to continue perpetuating the need to believe that one's life has not been based on flawed observations. To be honest, I feel no need to dispute your observations nor your conclusions. Indeed, why doesn't Newman reveal his power measurements, and do us all a favor. My own all-too-human opinion is based primarily on the personal observation that, IMHO, Newman's public speaking behavior appears at least to me to be no different than watching an ardent televangelist who lacks the polished skills and training of public speaking. In Newman's case his special brand of "religin" has been cloaked in the interesting form of preaching to his congregation that he has "seen the light" of Over Unity, that the spirit of Over Unity inhabits his devices. I can only reiterate that IMHO, Newman seems to have convinced himself of the absolute flawlessness of his OU machine, and as such, he has no desire to jeopardize the sense of importance he has built around his devices with actual power measurements that deep down inside he suspects could destroy his life's work - his purpose in life. Do not underestimate how devastating such a personal confrontation can be. It is a house of cards Newman has built around himself. The accompanying sense of self worth that is connected to the legitimacy of his claimed OU device must be defended at all cost. Getting a little off-topic here, this is why it is so important to embark on a life-long journey of knowing thyself - which ironically at least for me has been the surprising realization that I really don't know who the hell I am. Ironically, there is a sense of profound freedom in arriving at that conclusion. I have learned that I have frequently been wrong in my beliefs, my theories, my conclusions, and that's ok. In the end, it doesn't matter. Just try to follow the Golden Rule and allow the universe reveal its suprizing secrets in its own pace. The irony in all of this is the fact that detailed power measurements, as you have pointed out, will eventually have to be taken if Newman is going to have any chance of getting investors to fund his life's work. The actual power measurements will also likely cause Newman to confront the unpleasant realization that he has been chasing unicorns for the better part of his life. Do you think such a conclusion will matter to Newman? I suspect so. Come to think of it, I'm sure many here are of the opinion that most televangelists, are no better than scam artists. But again, one's house-of-cards must be defended at all costs. Just my two cents. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com
