The AIROPS engine is a noble gas engine like the Papp engine. This uses UV to produce plasma expansion just like Holmlid does. The heart of the Papp engine was the production of excess electrons that was used to drive the spark that moved the other piston. Controlling that current(called feedback) was how the Papp engine was regulated. When R. Feynman took the controls away from Papp in that demo, he forced that current to grow out of control.
