The idea of anengine running off nolble gases seems absurd, but argon, helium and water vapor can for a catalutic system which releases *very significant * amounts of energy. Papp performed a secret process to prepare his gases for the engine. We lack details, but the findings of Mills point to phenomena that perhaps Papp used.
Mike, I didn't know about the water vapor but it suggests a sonoluminesence type environment, You mentioned It being catalytic which to my admittedly biased opinion means Casmir geometry just like Mills Rayney Nickel. If the gas can form a medium/meniscus that traps the water vapor and then compresses the meniscus into Casmir geometry you do have all the ingredients. My speculation is that Catalytic action only occurs when the geometry/Casmir force changes [Chen Peng at Cornell University recently reported that nanotubes only exhibit catalytic action at the openings and defects using an AFM to record his data.] In most cases the reactants have mobility or the catalyst is pliable enough to only accelerate the reactants -BUT in the case of a RIGID catalyst of the appropriate small size such as a skeletal catalyst the dihydrinos are cleaved apart and get to recombine and give off another photon until they reach the next defect or change in geometry. Using pressure to keep a meniscus squeezed just might equate to a rigid cavity. The speculation would mean most of the heat is generated without byproduct because the hydrino -dihydrino reaction just loops between falling to the diatomic state and being broken apart by change in Casimir force -The nuclear and chemical byproducts only occur in the destructive phase for Mills when the reaction runs away and hydrinos react with the alloy walls to produce hydrides or deuterides for Arata. Maybe the gas or liquid methods may help sustain the reaction long enough for us to learn more about it since the "cavities" are throw away instead of melting down like I think is the case with Mills.-it would only take some cat whiskers to break the parallel geometry and kill the field.
