If I understand it, Brown's main discovery was an energy-gain in 
radioactive wires, or within wires bathed in radiation from adjacent 
sources.


So, today a simple test would be to continuously measure (high freq AC?) 
wire resistance, or perhaps measure the "Q" of a metal-enclosed LC tank 
circuit, then look for increased value when placed against a 'hot' 
radioactive sample (thin metal being a shield, to prevent capacitive 
changes to Q caused by movements of the sample.)  I think Brown claimed to 
have achieved self-oscillation from this gain (so, Q becoming infinite.) 
But with a sensitive measurement, perhaps his discovery can be detected, 
while using commonly available low-level active materials: 50,000CPM 
carnotite from eBay, radium T/R tubes, etc.  Hook an op-amp 
negative resistance circuit to a big coil/capacitor, adjust it for 
barely-stable oscillation, then see if hot samples will make oscillations 
start growing.

RE: [Vo]:A Question About Paul Brown

I think the Papp engine was real. However, I also think it may be a case of 
“hidden in plain sight”.

I think the radioactive stuff and inert gases may have been deliberate 
misdirection.  There was a controversy years back in which a Professor Graneau 
asserted that arcs in water might be overunity. The same might go for arcs in 
water vapor.  There was supposedly a demonstration for the government in which 
a cannon was blown apart like a Roadrunner cartoon. This would be similar to 
trees being blown apart by lightning – that wasn’t a steam expolsion.

The Papp engine used radium or thorium to increase the sensitivity of the 
electrode to electron extraction from the plasma. The alpha decay of Radium 
biased the pickup electrode with a positive charge that would attract 
electrons. This idea came from the well known technique used to dope lightning 
rods with radium back in the 1800s to increase the ability of these rods to 
attract lightning.  In the Papp engine, the application of an electric arc 
increased the production of alpha decay right before the feedback current was 
produced by the plasma.
