The Papp reaction will be revealing to those who are interested in the DGT LENR reaction in that it is similar to the spark discharge that is being used in the DGT reaction. If it is true that we know nothing about the Papp reaction, then the same must be said about the function of spark energy discharge into the hydrogen envelope of the DGT reactor.
Consider the formation of atomic hydrogen and hydrogen atomic crystals using a spark discharge considered in this thread. Could a study of the workings inside the Papp cylinder be useful in understanding the *REAL* mechanism that is occurring in the DGT reactor? I think this is so.
