Thanks Brad, A deluxe popper, indeed ! Even if the open-source part is in doubt, the need for a miracle is not.
It will be interesting to see the energy balance, in the end. I hope that Russ will strive to provide that, even if a rough estimate. Otherwise this device may linger in the collective imagination for another half century. One thing for sure - the visuals in the videos are a throwback to 1971, in more way than one. The hat must be his borrowed trademark, since it seems to be worn in all of them. Terry will remember the done: "Popeye Doyle" and the porkpie hat he made famous in the French Connection. Say, didn't Gene Hackman look almost as old back then as he does now? Is that the inverse of 'ageless'? ... begging the question: is there some kind of weird synchronicity between the Popper, Popeye, and Papp (which Josef himself pronounced as "pop") ?... or... that 1971 was shortly after Josef Papp arrived in Canada, aboard a 300 mph submarine: http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/comments/papp.html Say... is it me or do these strange time-warps have anything to do with the Bak'tun-13 rollover ? From: ecat builder Hi Vortex, Some updates on Papp development.. Which most of you know is a noble gas that is charged (by RF/spark) and drives a piston with an unexplained (?) force. Harvesting the force and residual energy to produce overunity power remains to be seen. http://peswiki.com/index.php/Talk:Directory:Plasma_Energy_Controls_Plasma_Ex pansion_Motor An open source Papp Engine based on Bob's design is being built by a 26 yr old whiz named Russ. He has made great progress in just a few weeks-- a cylinder based on Bob's test unit, spark generator, gas system, and more. I'm sure he'll be looking for ideas on how to mix and test noble gas mixtures. http://rwgresearch.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/rwg42985?feature=g-user-u http://www.open-source-energy.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=659 Bob is chiming in with feedback, which is great to see. The forum is at 12 pages and is filled with interesting tidbits. Here is a (self-taught?) Dannel Roberts and his visit to Bob's shop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_zWJNyoFgJM Starting at 22:40 is Robert's theory of how the Papp engine creates a bang... Chuck (a LENR replicator) received his Popper Kit from John. It contains 15 pages of design/build notes and has a signal generator to drive 2 included spark coils. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lFt_q69dxk&feature=plcp Bob Rohner has also produced a few new movies, one warning of the potential dangers of building a popper.. another showing the system running without a coil, dispelling the thought that the coil could be the source of the force, showing that compressed air is not used. http://www.rohnermachine.com/pagedocuments.html https://www.youtube.com/user/bjrohner?feature=g-user-u All very interesting, but a lot of power is going in (300 joules?) so a lot of work, luck, and miracles may still be needed. - Brad
