I highly favor prosecution of fraud, where there is sound evidence of 
it, and I mean criminal fraud. Often investors don't have the 
resources to pursue civil fraud. Criminal prosecution should be done 
to protect the public.


I also favor civil pursuit of defamation charges, where a business is 
damaged by allegations that they are engaged in fraud.


By the way, amusing detail:

John Rohner -- and Stirling Allen of PESN -- have complained about 
Bob Rohner's getting youtube to take down all of John's videos, even 
those he shot himself.


I'm surprised to see that Stirling Allen doesn't know about DCMA 
takedown notices. Youtube cannot hire lawyers to research copyright! 
Rather, they follow the DCMA procedure. If you think someone is 
infringing on your copyright, you can send a takedown notice to 
Youtube. They are obligated to take down the video, and will only 
refuse if they have *strong reason to believe* that your claim is 
bogus. Essentially, Stirling's comment about "innocent until proven 
guilty" is misplaced.


The sender of the takedown notice is presumed innocent. They will 
normally take down the video. If they do that, they are not, 
themselves, liable for copyright violation! It's a safe harbor. 
Absent such a notice, they have little responsibility. Can you 
imagine them having to investigate all the videos they host?


However, filing a false DCMA takedown notice can have some legal consequences.

More to the point here, John, could file a counter-claim, that, yes, 
he has the legal right to post those videos, and he can do this for 
any video he thinks is his. He could actually do it for any video, 
but ... I wouldn't recommend that. He'd be entering a seriously 
hazardous territory, legally.


If a counterclaim is filed, Youtube will generally put the video back up.

And then they will wait for a court order. Bob would have to get one, 
and John could defend. The law actually does provide for "innocent 
until proven guilty," but you have to use due process.


John makes a big deal out of Bob violating the TeslaTech copyright, 
but, in fact, if TeslaTech doesn't object, there is no violation. 
People get nuts about this, and it looks like John loves to find 
stuff to toss at his brother. I wonder what they were like as kids. 
Big brother: Look, a cowpie! Next you know it's all over the brother, 
one or the other. Or both, with the parents trying to figure out 
whose fault it is, a lost cause. Sisters can do this, too

Collapsed Matter.  No fraud.  No conspiracy theories.  Call it Inverted
Rydberg Matter, call them "Super Atoms", they create blueshifted, high
frequency radiation at their surface able to rip apart any matter in their
vicinity. They all behave the same way.  Papp knew the coil needed to stay
energized to collect these charged particles else the machine may quickly
self-destruct - that is the secret only he knew.  They consume matter and
energy and release energy.  They can grow and shrink resulting in temporary
inversions.

I think Papp knew that the charged particles generated from his devices
were bad actors and needed to be contained as much as possible, thus his
containment coil.

I am of the opinion, that the only way to safetly confine this collapsed
matter(gremlin) is some type of magnetic/inertial/gravitational confinement
field once you have created the collapsed matter.  After that you need to
feed the suspended gremlin hydrogen to minimize harmful radiation and
remove the heat and do not feed him too much too fast (although I think he
is so "hot" that it would be hard to grow him in size very quickly)

If I knew collapsed matter evaporated I would feel better.  Results from
Celani and that Papp video tend to make me believe it sticks around for
awhile on its way ultimately to the center of the earth.

Good point JoJo. 

Proponents are conflating two different Papp anecdotes which completely warp
the story. The flimsiest extension cord would be adequate to run the engine
in a no-load condition, and it could continue to run for several minutes
with the benefit of a hidden capacitor. This was what happened, in fact.
(see below).

Plus - A thirty+ year old meaningless affidavit from deceased individuals
who supposedly tested the engine for the newly scammed owner of the
technology on the premises of a third rate university - that does nothing to
make the case … other than by that time, Papp was desperate and could
convince no one in LA or the rest of California to buy-into the scam - and
had to go all the way to what had recently been known as the "Cherokee
National Female Seminary" to find two chumps to "validate."

From: Jojo Jaro 

You're right about the wire size calculations but during the test with 
Feynman, the Papp engine was not connected to a dyno.  Wasn't it just free 
spinning?  


Yes it was. BTW to set the record straight - Testimony given by Feynman
indicates that Papp, not Feynman unplugged the engine. To wit:

"Mr. Papp pulled the plug from the wall, and the fan propeller continued to
turn. 'You see, this cord has nothing to do with the engine; it's only
supplying power to the instruments,' Papp said. 

Well, that was easy. He's got a storage battery inside the engine. 'Do you
mind if I hold the plug?' I [Feynman] asked? 'Not at all,' replied Mr. Papp,
and he handed it to me. 

It wasn't very long before he asked me to give me back the plug. 'I'd like
to hold it a little longer,' I said, figuring that if I stalled around
enough, the damn thing would stop. 

Pretty soon Mr. Papp was frantic, so I (Richard Feynman) gave him back the
plug and he plugged it back into the wall. A few moments later there was a
big explosion:

A cone of silvery uniform stuff shot out and turned to smoke."

There are no good explanations for the Papp phenomenon.  One isn't simply
talking about the veracity of two men signing an affidavit but of
world-class experts in high power machinery who actually fabricated the
device attested by the two men.  We can ignore, for the sake of argument,
all of the midwestern investors who were from a long tradition of agrarian
self-sufficiency which featured a great deal of on-the-spot fabrication of
make-shift inventions to get the job done without the support of urban
infrastructure.  Let's just talk about these 5 people (excluding, of
course, Papp himeself).  One might be convinced that the Rohner brothers
were in some kind of conspiracy to defraud with Rohner but one cannot be
convinced that Rohner Machine Works was so inept as to mistake negative net
work from one of their own machines for 100 horsepower.

So let's run with the Rohner conspiracy theory:

The two highest-likelihood conditional hypotheses involving the Joint
Affidavit signed by George J. Nolan, PhD and Dennis Hodges are, again,
ineptitude in mistaking net negative work for 100hp -- or collusion in the
Rohner conspiracy.  Do we have any reason to believe that either of Nolan
or Hodges had any prior connection with Papp or the Rohners or that Nolan
or Hodges had a background of suspected fraud?  It seems ineptitude is more
likely since neither Nolan nor Hodges could be considered in the same class
as the Rohners when it comes to high power machinery.  So let's run with
that branch in the conditional hypotheses tree:

The geographically remote Papp and the Rohners entered into a conspiracy to
defraud the public and sought out, as dupes in their scheme, a PhD in
chemistry and the owner of an "independent diesel service", also
geographically remote from Papp and the Rohners.  Papp and the Rohners then
presented their dupes with a form in which the dupes were to place numbers
and signatures.  Papp then managed to make it appear that 100hp came out of
his fraudulent device for an hour to the satisfaction of the dupes, so that
they would sign the affidavit.

Papp took the secret to his grave and the Rohners continued in their
efforts to defraud to the present day (we can, I suppose, explain the
rancor between the brothers Rohner as a continuation of the fraud taking
the form of two fraud artists competing for the same pool of marks).

Does that about sum up the best alternative to "For some mysterious reason
no one has been able to get this thing to work for decades but its real."
hypothesis?

You're right about the wire size calculations but during the test with

If it was just free spinning without a load, a single battery would have

If you are talking about the dyno test with the affidavit from 2 men, I 
guess it all boils down the veracity of those two men.



But the obvious question is, why don't we have a working Papp engine by now. 
If the patent is public domain, surely someone close to Papp would have

Do you expect to see 107 HP for an hour with a automobile sized battery?  I 
have a larger one that powers a small johnboat and it is lucky to run for a 
couple of hours at much less power.  You need a special deep discharge type to 
have a chance of any serious power over time from what I have seen.

Also, I recall they disconnected the batteries after the engine was running.
