Rohnermachine.com Mike and John are the two Rohber brothers who are competing in the development of the Papp engine. John is developing a two cylinder horizontally opposed version of the engine. John does not demo his version of the engine as a business decision but Bob does do demos. The video shows the Tesla 2012 demo whose YouTube link is listed above. In it, McKubre is bearing witness as Mike Rohner rambles on about Papp technology. Mike Rohber provides incite into Papp's motivations and business thinking which are interesting. The demo shows the device that McKubre used to appraise the Papp reaction in a 20 minute private evaluation with Mike. At 1: 03 into the long video, McKubre states his position as an advocate of the Papp engine stating that it is based on a nuclear process. McHubre sites Cecil Baumgartner a first hand witness to the Feynman test for his initial interest in the engine. A first hand eye witness to the Dr. Rickard P. Feynman ill fated demo said Dr. Feynman actually kills that poor unlucky by-stander when he pulled the power plug which in tern disables the control electronics on the Papp engine and the engine over-revs. The engine eventually blows a rod the killed the guy. Cal Tech removed all records of the incident to protect Feynman and so died the Papp engine in the science community. As a personal opinion, McKubre deserves some credit, He has a open mind and is not fixated on the deuterium LENR reaction.
