Perhaps so Eric. Many have been blinded by the need to acquire great wealth to such an extent that they missed achieving modest wealth altogether. I do not know much about Papp other than what I have read and that is limited. If his engine actually performed as he claimed it is a shame that it did not come into widespread use. Let's all hope that the major players in the LENR field do not fall into that same trap. Patterson may have been another inventor that could not accept anything less than all the marbles so he ended up with a few. I have concerns about some of the other major players as well, but so far they keep improving their designs. The competition is heating up and that might make this year the one we have all been anticipating.

Just to play devil's advocate, perhaps Papp had onerous licensing terms. Given that he is reported by Axil to have taken the specific step of making it more difficult to work out the composition of the full three months before his death, onerous terms would not be a surprise. Inventors can be a little unbalanced. I'm not arguing here that Papp had something; only that there might be a good reason people didn't take him up on his offer unrelated to the technology itself.
