You have a good explanation for the lack of visible reaction away from the projectile. The law of conservation of momentum ensures that the initial movement of the barrel must be in the opposite direction. The amount of movement might be small if the barrel kinetic energy is absorbed by a barrier that is stiff, and that must be what we have. Energy can then be returned to the barrel from the barrier by spring action propelling it in the same direction as the piston.
How often do claims of the type revealed within this video arise? You would think that by now we would realize most are nothing but fancy electric motors of an unusual design. I will be very surprised to see one that actually delivers over unity performance throughout a complete cycle when the total input is accurately determined. The inventor stated that a significant amount of energy still remained within the capacitor bank after a power pulse. Since energy stored within a capacitor is proportional to the square of the voltage I would not be so kind. 160^2/500^2=.1 Only 10% remains which is not a large proportion.

The only explanation that I can see is that the assembly is already placed against an immovable barrier which prevents the recoil from moving it to the right, and that force pushes back on the assembly moving it in the same direction as the projectile… -Mark From: James Bowery [mailto:jabow...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, December 31, 2012 10:54 AM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:new video: Heinz Klostermann on the Papp engine 8:54 in is a slow motion shot showing the 1lb projectile travelling about 2 meters in about 3 frames. He also claims that the effective energy delivered to the plasma is about 600J. sqrt(600J/(2*lbm))?m/s sqrt((600 * joule) / (2 * poundm)) ? meter / second = 25.717452 m/s 30frames/sec;3 frames/2m?m/s ([30 * frames] / second) * ([3 * frames] / [2 * meter])^-1 ? meter / second = 20 m/s So it appears he has an 80% efficient electric cannon.
