 Joseph Newman Appears on Discovery Channel, Canada
In any case, Newman got his "foot in the door" on a main-stream television channel (in Canada, that is), which was good not just for Newman, but for all those having an interest in New Free Energy.
Since that footage was the lead-in to the interview, Discovery was by no means trying to give people a good impression of this man. Rather I got the feeling that they gave him only just enough rope to hang himself.
In the "Beyond Invention" show (also a Canadian Discovery channel program) that was aired a few weeks ago, Newman was giving people a chance to inspect his machine and to look for wires, etc.
