Jed: Bottom line:
The only videos of a continuously running engine are the old Papp ones; this conclusion was put out a few days ago to the Collective and noone has provided any links to vids showing otherwise. If anyone knows of such a video, please post the link. When I heard that McKubre was endorsing one of the Rohner's, I was encouraged and watched that vid, but McKubre's body language was tense to say the least. there was NO 'running' engine in the presentation, only the 'pop-goes-the-weasel' demo. You are close with MM, so ask him if he's ever seen one run CONTINUOUSLY, and let us know what he says. -Mark From: Jed Rothwell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2012 12:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Vo]:What is with Papp? I am having difficulty following the discussion from afar. Would someone please summarize in a few sentences what has happened with the Papp machine that brings it back into attention? I gather someone claims they replicated it? Is there any evidence they actually have? I don't quite follow who is claiming they have done what (to whom). A little like an orgy seen from a distance. I have known some people who took Papp's claims seriously, such as Gene Mallove, but I have never heard of an independent replication. There was that horrible accident with Feynman. A lot of people, including Gene, blamed Feynman for that. I have never heard what happened to the motor after that. Nothing, as far as I know. - Jed
