Oddity and UNCERTAINTY


There was one explosion of a Papp engine, as such, AFAIK. That's the 
one where Feynman turned off the control electronics by pulling the 
plug. He expected the engine to run down, and he held on to the plug 
while Papp frantically tried to get it from him and plug it back in. 
The incident demonstrates that a Papp engine can be dangerous.


Papp did a demonstration where an explosion was deliberately caused, 
that was filmed. That was not an engine, it was a cannon. Really, a 
big popper.


I'm not aware of other explosions, but I've only begun to read in this area.

Running Papp engines were witnessed and measurements were made with a 
dynamometer. This is not some marginal effect. It radically violates 
our expectations of what a noble gas mixture could do. I see only two 
possibilities:


1. Sophisticated fraud, begun by Papp and continued after his death 
by others. A sophisticated fraud can convince expert witnesses; this 
is why we demand independent verification; while collusion can exist 
between multiple parties, it is rare and the rarity increases with 
the number and variety of independent verifications.


2. An anomaly of vast implications, deserving of urgent 
investigation, with all deliberate speed.


In science, ordinarily, one independent verification is enough to 
establish even an unusual result as valid. Cold fusion is a 
remarkable case where hundreds of independent verifications have been 
considered inadequate by some. My claim is, generally, that some 
are practicing cargo cult science. That goes back to what Jed 
recently mentioned:

we can see how the Scientific Fiasco of the Century (Huizenga's 
language) was set up. Huizenga only knew the half of it. I'll write 
separately on this.


Here, it is clear, the apparent impossibility of the Papp engine can 
be seen as a primary reason why the Papp Effect, I'm calling it, has 
not been deeply investigated. There is another reason, equally 
important. Papp kept his methods secret, fearing loss of them to 
other interests. Others, with more or less access to the secrets, 
have likewise kept them hidden. So, until now, independent 
verification was difficult or impossible. Because of his history and 
apparent imbalance, John Rohner cannot be easily trusted, but if his 
recent offer of demonstration kits is real, we will soon have some 
independent testimony regarding the Papp Effect. For the first time, 
investigation will be divorced from the demand for a full-out engine, 
and can be focused on the Effect itself.


John Rohner is making an implied claim that the original Papp formula 
for the fuel, from the patent, works. The only secret, then, would 
be the nature of the stimulation, and that's what Rohner is offering 
to sell, in the form of the electronics that provide it, together 
with the custom coils and electrodes, with complete specifications 
for everything else. I presume that he knows that it will not be long 
before the stimulation will be known in exact detail, even if he 
hasn't provided that information, through examination of what his 
circuit board and the coils do.


We have seen public demonstration of a popper, by Bob Rohner, 
possibly a rough equivalent of what John Rohner is offering. (And I 
must point out that it is entirely possible that the John Rohner kit 
doesn't work, but Bob Rohner's public demonstration does. Or one or 
both kits produce a pop, but not actual anomalous power, see below.)


What continues to be amazing to me is that the data to show anomalous 
power would have been easily available, with some relatively simple 
measurements in the demonstration. The lifting of a weight by the 
popper, a defined distance, would show work done -- but the video of 
Bob's popper, where it moves a hydraulic piston a measured distance, 
is easier to analyze -- but there seems to have been no serious 
questioning of Bob Rohner about this issue. How much energy is pumped 
into the pistion with each cycle, and how much work comes

Abd,

Just a thought... Papp may have known that the containment coil needed to
remain energized in order to collect and contain charged, collapsed matter
particles at the coil's inside surface that was being produced at each
cycle.  Possibly when Dr. Feynman unplugged the power the collapsed matter
began devouring the walls of the cylinder leading to vessel failure from
embrittlement and excess heat.

I will make an analogy which I am sure will gather consternation:  do you
remember in ghostbusters when they closed the breaker on the containment
device housing the...gremlins?
