I tend to agree with Axil, i think the nanopowder is a distraction if you want to generate power. Powder may be mainly good for transmutations and maybe heat transfer.
I think both a Papp type engine and possibly the Terrawatt Research magnetic drive are an impulse/shock type drive with charge, compression and magnetic alignment all repeated at high frequencies. The Papp motor runs at about 47 Hz and the Terrawatt unit shows data up to 20 Hz with a steep power curve from there. The Papp unit uses noble gasses and the terrawatt magnetic oscillator just has an air gap between rotating magnetics. There must be an issue though (besides fraud which i do not believe). Since the UL data for TWR was from 2008 it should not take that long for the Terrawatt drive to make it to market. The think issue is either safety or reliability or both. This may be that the system will generate an UNGODLY amount of power at 100 or 150 Hz destroying itself and those around it. I also wonder what type of EMR spectrum of emissions is generated during operation and whether that is healthy. Papp at some point seemed to give up either after the explosion and somebody was killed or after he became ill with cancer. Patterson also seemed to give up on launching a product after his grandson died that was helping him. This all seems very strange to me. All of these systems seemed to have the potential to transform the world and yet their development appears delayed or halted. Maybe I am making too much of it. Jed might know some of the history better. Stewart On Friday, August 31, 2012, Axil Axil wrote: > *We think we know what is going on.
