...next Library of Congress centenary too. He so embodies America in all its sprawling contradictory greatness: the Wilsonian idealist prepared to engage in ruthless Rooseveltian realism; the worshipper of system, order and science who is given to romance--with France, with revolution, with the American West; the practical inventor and tinkerer, yet endowed with the capacity to compose the most lyrical, most transcendent assertion of human liberty ever penned...
...your article "will Someone Build a Perpetual-Motion Machine?" [VISIONS 21, April 10], you stated that the theories of inventor Joseph Newman are "considered nonsensical." Having assisted Newman in his work for 17 years and edited his book The Energy Machine of Joseph Newman, I find your assessment to be inaccurate. A special master appointed by a U.S. district court found overwhelming evidence that a prototype of Newman's invention showed that "the output energy exceeds the external input energy." Newman's discovery has extended the law of the conservation of mass-energy into a new electromagnetic domain. Such extensions...
...Clinton says he doesn't want a pardon if he faces criminal charges. And Al Gore has responded to the issue of pardoning his boss if elected president, a la Gerald Ford, by suggesting Clinton's response makes this a moot point. But the Slick One and the Inventor of the Internet have, at times, been a bit disingenuous. If Gore's tireless fundraising efforts ultimately land him the good office on Pennsylvania Ave, look for waffle number one to be the Clinton pardon...
Instead, the perpetuals have become more sophisticated. Most (though not all) now admit their machines are using outside energy--usually via new theories of physics that physicists don't grasp yet. Joseph Newman, for example, a Mississippi inventor, promoted an "Energy Machine" in the 1980s that operated via "gyroscopic particles." More recently, New Jersey inventor Randell Mills has been pushing power from "hydrinos." Still others claim they're tapping the "zero-point energy" that fills all space. The first two are considered nonsensical, and while zero-point energy has a basis in science, using it to run a machine does...
...much like Mary Shelley's doctor, Morris is an inventor. His creation: the Interrotron, a camera with a TelePrompTer rigged over the lens to display Morris' image, so subjects can look right into the lens while talking to him. Letting them address viewers directly--hence the series title--the device changes the very structure of the narrative. "There's something powerful about eye contact," says Morris. "When someone looks into your eyes, are you aware of it? You betcha...
