Since it was based on a converted piston engine, it had to be a heat engine. Probably wrong! If today’s speculation is correct, then Papp’s crazy design is not and never was a heat-engine, and in fact he may have inadvertently found that ZPE can operate best as a heat sink. [snip]
Jones, Since there is no exhaust I would agree, this is similar to what I was trying to convey regarding your radioactive trigger – that changes in energy density could substitute for particle counts – giving radioactive particles the option to migrate between different energy densities to remain stable instead of decaying. Perhaps radioactive gas becomes a mechanical ZPE oscillator when given the proper suppression geometries to travel between? Regards Fran
