Axil,

In case you are familiar with the history of this, I have a few questions -

Who invited Papp to do the test at Cal Tech?
How long did the engine continue to work after the power was removed?
If so, could it have been running on battery, or some other storage unit?
Was any evidence found in the debris that indicated fraud?
How has McKubre tested the engine?
