Joseph Newman Visit 1987
Joseph Newman Visit 1987
This was my Visit in summer of 1987 to Mr. Newman´s workshop in the woods of Lucedale, Mississippi. I was allowed to stay there for about an hour or so..
Yes, you can also see the commutator of the very first big machine, that was shown in Maryland in the convention center…but that was hard to film, as I only had a a shitty VHS-C camcorder with a Tube sensor, which was affected by the magnetic fields of the big permanent magnet rotor…and the coil was pretty high, so I needed to film with my hands over my head and not seeing, what I was really filming…
Mr. Newman showed me mostly his small fan motor there in action running on 2 x 250 Volts Raovac drycell batteries in series, where he had lots of RF power coming out…
This was just a normal commutator on the Fan motor just a mechanical commutator which did reverse the current in the coil each 180 degrees…No pulsing there, just reversing the current…
I mostly wanted to see the big motors. but they were not ready to be shown running unfortunately…cause he modified them and one had his rotor removed… Anyway, I also filmed the commutator of the big machine…
I hope you like this piece of history film… Luckily I could still digitize this as when I was done my old VCR died…
