An interesting project - but it doesn't seem to be apparent as to why this new
engine, replicating Papp's device, is called a "gyrokinetic engine". Was this a
word that Papp used?
If it were simply called a "pulsed plasma reciprocating engine", then it would
be far more descriptive. Unfortunately, "gyrokinetic" sounds like some 1950s
B-Movie SciFi gobledygook (a gift to any detractors).
Maybe there is a sensible reason for choosing this word - but I have't found it
anywhere yet.
