Guys, Did the Papp engine need to be cranked like an ICE? If so I am thinking mechanical energy is the bootstrap source of energy. The noble gases forming menisci around other, plasma forming gases, that collapse rapidly as the engine is cranked like bubbles in sonoluminesce. The alpha emitter might synchronize local energy release of plasma bubbles nearing their threshold. Fran
