Axil,
Nice find, I agree that Papp is exploiting same and they are aware
of the need for resonance but it is also clear in your citation ,
http://phys.org/news/2012-11-ionization-x-ray-laser-shells-electron.html, that
they are falling far short of what the Papp engine is claimed to have achieved.
Papp certainly did not need the worlds most powerful laser [snip] With only
one flash of the world's most powerful X-ray laser, an international team
headed by Daniel Rolles ejected 36 electrons from a xenon atom and thus
stripped the atom of more than two of its highest energy shells. This record
charge significantly surpasses the greatest possible ionization which the
physicists estimated for the X-ray energy used. This only becomes possible due
to a resonance effect, which the team discovered. In the future, researchers
will have to take into account these results when they use the extremely
powerful pulses[/snip]. It all resolves around gas law and Papp incorporates a
steady change in PV/T along with the ionizing method that the researchers did
not investigate.. Now that they are aware of this new phenomena it may only be
a matter of time before they pursue the Papp engine in earnest.. IMHO the Papp
engine exploits the nature of gas law to discount the energy requirement these
researchers utilized. IMHO Papp exploited changes in the geometry of gas
boundaries in place of the high powered laser much in the same way Nobel
Laureate Julian Schwinger suggested for a bubble sonoluminescence.

Subject: EXTERNAL: [Vo]:noble gase cluster explosion
To start out, noble gas clusters including Xenon clusters are formed when these
noble gases are pre-ionized by RF radiation.
The main design goal in the Papp reaction is to produce UV and X-rays.
To do this, Papp used enhanced isotopic nuclear radiation to produce X-rays
catalyzed by a high voltage spark discharge; however his spark was relatively
weak in terms of current.
But a strong enough high current spark discharge can generate this level and
kind of EMF.
It has been recently discovered that noble gas clusters will explode when
exposed to high intensity EMF in the UV and X-ray range.
Xenon clusters that range in size up to about 14 000-atoms will explode
yielding extremely energetic ions with energies up to 1 MeV.
By contrast, a chemical explosion involves chemical transition energies of only
some tens of electron volts.
An explosion of noble gases can far surpass in power what a chemical explosive
can deliver.
The explosion of noble gas clusters including xenon clusters initiated by
strong emf in the ultraviolet and the X-ray range provides an explanation of
where all that power and all those electrons produced by the Papp engine come
from.
