Agreed,
This is the same basic process and also related to
sonoluminescence but totally gaseous medium where the environment forms the
needed geometry and the catalytic gas through natural self assembly based on
the nature of the gases with changes in pressure. The gas cyclically reforms
the geometry in the form of a gaseous meniscus enclosing an ionized plasma
where like sonoluminescence you don't have to worry about self destruction
because you are constantly harvesting and reforming the geometry.

Subject: EXTERNAL: [Vo]:Noble Gas Plasma Engine
Noble Gas Plasma Engine
In the 1980s, Joseph Papp was granted US Patent No. 3,670,494 for his "Noble
Gas Plasma Engine".
A mixture of recycled inert gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon)
fills a piston cylinder These gases are exposed to a high-voltage discharge in
this sealed cylinder capped with a piston.
This spark causes the gases to expand violently though no combustion occurs.
Mechanical energy is delivered by the piston's displacement. After the spark,
the gases immediately collapses to their original volume and density, and the
cycle is repeated.
After several thousand hours the gases lose structure and their elasticity.
Replacing these gases cost 15 cents per operating hour .
Papp's first prototype was a simple 90-horsepower Volvo engine with upper end
modifications.
Attaching the Volvo pistons to pistons fitting the sealed cylinders, the engine
worked perfectly with an output of three hundred horsepower. The inventor
claimed it would cost about twenty five dollars to charge each cylinder every
sixty thousand miles.
Papp had arranged for a demonstration of Volvo engine to representatives of the
Stanford Research Institute. Unfortunately the day before the demonstration,
the Volvo engine exploded. One person was killed, and another person was
injured. Papp himself is believed to have died from apparent neutron radiation
from his engine.
There were indications that such an engine could provide its own electrical
power and being a closed system, require no fuel. It is not by definition an
electromagnetic engine, however. It is believed that at the heart of the Papp
engine is the development of high-density electrical charge clusters which
provide the energy to expand the gases.
The Papp technology is now in the public domain, Other US patents are 5319336,
4151431, 3670494, 4046167 - Mechanical Accumulator, 3680431 for Method and
Means for Generating Explosive Forces, and 4,428,193 for Inert Gas Fuel, Fuel
Preparation Apparatus and System for Extracting Useful Work from the Fuel.
There are several groups working on versions of the Papp engine. It seems to
keep recycling through the new energy community.
Jim Kettner has incorporated a company called "inteligentry, LTD" to simply and
optimized the Papp process. He will license his prototype for mass production
shortly uses the Rossi type "try it before you buy it money back guaranty".
It looks to me like the Papp engine uses the same basic electron screening LERN
principles as the Rossi reactor. In the Papp engine, helium is the fuel and
Argon is the catalyst. Jim Kettner is very open about his technology since most
of it is in the public domain.
Kettner's company "inteligentry, LTD," is selling a demo unit to the
experimenter types for $350 so that they can verify in their own minds that gas
based LENR works. This LENR engine produced no heat. Its energy output is
strictly mechanical energy. A simple spark and frequency generator are provide.
The gas is user supplied.

Public domain LENR
Fuel mix
xenon 8.5
krypton 12.5
argon 16.9
neon 26.3
Helium comprise the remainder.
This technology shares most of the features that are currently under
development by other LENR vendors and Focus Fusion. I will discuss these
similarities in another post.
