Furthermore, these five Papp noble gases will combine in all sorts of ways among and between themselves to form huge super-atomic clusters.

These clusters can contain any permutation and combination of these five gases starting from just two noble gas element sets all the way to include all five types of noble gases.

If you are interested in details, these various noble gas cluster combinations are listed in this document as follows:

http://www.nist.gov/data/PDFfiles/jpcrd245.pdf

Ionization enhances this noble gas cluster formation process.

It is also probable that by controlling the percentage mix of the noble gases, Papp could control what cluster mix would be formed in his cylinder.

I suspect that it may be the interaction between and among these ionized clusters that make the Papp reaction go.

Non-noble element/noble gas contaminations will reduce the vigor of this special cluster formation process.

As an experimentalist, Papp found out over many years of hard won experience that contamination of his noble gases killed his reaction over time. So he came up with a homemade noble gas purification system.  

He describes this purification system in his 1984 patent as follows:
Quote
The mixer extracts filters and neutralizes the non-inert gases and other contaminants which may be found in the gas mixture. It also increases the potential capacity of gas atoms, discharges the krypton and xenon gases, polarizes the argon gases, ionizes the gases in a manner such that the ionization is maintained until the gas has been utilized and otherwise prepares them for use as a fuel in engine 11. In particular, the mixer makes the gases easier to excite during operation of the engine. Mixing does not mean an atomic or molecular combination or unification of gases because inert gases cannot chemically combine, in general, due to the completeness of the outer shell of electrons. During mixing, the various gases form a homogeneous mixture. The mixing of the five inert gases in apparatus 201 is somewhat analogous to preparing a five part liquid chemical mixture by titration. In such a mixture, the proportions of the different chemicals are accurately determined by visually observing the end point of each reaction during titration.
Please don’t concern yourselves about building this Papp purification system. In this modern age, there is an easier way to do this job.

Today, commercial off the shelf (COTS) noble gas purification systems can be obtained from many venders on the open market.

For example, see
http://www.nupure.com/Pages/ultrapure.htm

So Axil,

Are you saying that you are onboard with the idea that Papp's secret is the combination and formation of super-atom clusters as I floated out to the group in this post?

http://open-source-energy.org/?tid=659&pid=10936#pid10936

If we all have enough imagination to believe that the Papp engine is real for some mysterious reason, then why can't we go ahead and believe in a mysterious gas process that would cluster the gas atoms together to substantially reduce the gas mixture volume (lets say 100 to 1, plus or minus 50).  It is this pre-processed, pre-shrunk - clustered, whatever gas that is put in the cylinders at 1 atmosphere and ignited.  If that gas expands 100 times, to produce 100 atmospheres of pressure for the down stoke, then now we are beginning to talk about a system that will produce the type of torque the dyno tested engine did.

I think our scammer boy JR has, unknowingly, created this gas shrinking process.

Again, here is the link:

http://dimensionalbliss.com/2011/08/06/p...planation/     (((this link doesn't work..)))

Of course JR's powers of observation are so poor, that this is what he said about the event when cross examined by a spectator:

Unknown - Is your fuel all gone?

Rohner - The fuel is all gone it sucks the balloon into the tube.

Unknown - When you open it up, there is no more fuel in that chamber?

Rohner - Consider for a moment what has to happen for the balloon to get pulled into the tube. It has to become a vacuum. It is all gone.

K C Dias: "It is all gone"  Really???  Perhaps it just contracted by a factor of 100.

Come on folks, this is the missing part of the puzzle!

kcd
So the fase shift between plasma with much volume, and normal with superclusters, does the work. Convincing, especially if we can make sense of the reversing to normal/superclusters side of the reaction.

I can easily see that a spark will decompose a large cluster, but how do i picture the reverse?

And can we test this theory?

The best combination is 1 kJ for the main capacitor energy, a conical shape for the anode, 6-12 mm anode-cathode separation, iron for the anode material, and 14-15 kV for the trigger pulse amplitude. In these conditions, energies of up to 10 J per pulse are obtained in the 3-40 keV range for the X-ray pulses. In order to have a good reproducibility, a high-power, very fast, high-voltage trigger pulse is required. To fulfill these conditions, a pulse transformer and an air spark gap were added to the initial triggering device (a magnetic pulse compression circuit). With the new trigger pulse (20 J per pulse, 50-ns rise-time, 22-kV amplitude in an open circuit), an acceptable X-ray emission reproducibility was obtained


The take away: success is all in the way you all build your spark.
And how do these numbers reflect when looking at the gain-side of the popp? Has a x-ray ignition less/low enough energy to be an overunity candidate?

And what portion/percentage of the needed rays can be delivered by the constant work of the buckets?

If those do 90% of the work then how much can we tune-down the spark?

We have to work towards profitable equations.

Heinz is using air. "there are far less problems with using air and you will never get the gasses to stay in there..." A quote from memory...

but i still agree with Axil. even if we use just one type of gas. find the one that worked the best. and will protect the electrodes/stuff in the motor..

weather there is a mix of gasses that works over and above as single gas. who knows at this point...

none the less. more testing is needed and im really trying to get out and "play" but its just too cold... there is other stuff to work on ( circuit ECT) so i'm doing those now...

~Russ
Check out the latest Youtube video from Heinz:


Pulser Plasma Engine Core: Recovering the Papp Engine


He uses plain air.  There is speculation that the humidity in the air is needed, i.e. water.  

In the Papp first patent US3670494, part of Claim #8 reads:

 "said chamber containing and effective charge of between about 10 percent and 25 percent of de-oxygenated water, by volume..."

So plain air with some humidity will work?  Seems too simple! :)

Cheers

element.

go in the direction I was headed ( and still am) just use the HV to arc 90 degrees from the low voltage discharge electrodes. if the voltage is high enough in the caps it will discharge.  

this what i will be implementing in my next set up. no HV on the caps at all. just 2 sets of electrodes... ( 4 electrodes)

so just like you have but don't let the arc hit the cap electrodes...

FYI to ALL. i will be re doing my timer circuit to account for the charging circuit... (nothing major)  i have some other ideas i need to try... basically just as i described in this post. the first test for the circuit will be the big cap bank... more as i get it done...

~Russ

ps. element, also note that this configuration will not work if the caps voltage it too low... I'm thinking below 100v or so...
Cool stuff!

I think I understand what you mean by 4 electrodes at 90 degrees! See left side of attached picture.

If not well I’m not much of a word visionary so would need to see your setup.
you got it! that's it.
Quote
The problem I had was the HV (see right side of attached picture) would jump around in different arrangements when I tried to get the DC cap electrodes close enough to pop the gap. Now this all may be a problem with my setup, bad construction, HV is to low in power, or using very pointed electrode tips. Not sure?
yes. Heinz is using 500V dc. and the ending voltage is 160V ( referenced from his video) so i would say more voltage is needed. i know i had a lot of problems with lower voltage... it would not ever work till the gap was tiny... this was with some testing from erialyer phases...
Quote
Due to these problems sometimes the DC would not jump or at times I needed to leave the HV on longer to get a pop and this delay would not be good in a working engine.
no but for testing it tells us a story...

you see this is why papp used radiation. ionizing radiation... this is where the pree ionization comes in. if the chamber is fired rapidity. there is residential free electrons to help the next pop...

now are you using air? and also is the chamber open to the air?
Quote
For the DC caps I use a 12-v inverter to get 110 v then rectify to DC and end up with about 150 v DC. So far I disconnect the inverter before popping test but plan to try leaving the inverter on during popping once I get a more safe arrangement setup. Don’t want this thing or the cap blowing up in my face!!! :blush:

All in all I think you will have better luck with your setup so look forward to seeing you video.

The snow is melting!!! Yeah 50 + temps for a while!!!

element 119
what is the source of HV?

and try higher voltages on the caps.

50+ yes... your just north of me :) so its slightly warmer here:) but not for long... and i have no time to play this week... :( well i may be able to Sunday night... late... we will see.

thanks element. glad your posting your results. we need more peeps testing this stuff. !!

On gas treatment

Papp did something to his gasmix, treated it so that it reacted on less input electricity. Treated it so it changed and hold that change for a long time.

What can we change in a noble gas mixture that stays a long time?

Not ionization, not electrically changes.

We can't change anything continiously in a noble gas mixture without putting in an extra element.

So Papp's gas treatment involved putting something extra in his mix. An extra substance. Because that's the only thing that will last over time, staying present and doing the job it was put in for.

If it was something of chloor or water remains the question. It also could be something new, because Papp didn't want to reveal his secret, then why should he mention chloor and water anywhere. His real secret he wouldn't give away as a clue somewhere.

The only thing deduction tells us is that this extra element is much easier reacting to less electrical energy. It has to be the trigger to the rest of the noble mix to go into plasma mode.

It may also be depleting over time, one or two atoms per stroke. And when that is the case, then also it has to be in abundance enough, which places it more likely in a fluid form. So it must also be soluble.
Papp was obsessed with the purity of the noble gases that he used.

He says that they cannot combine with other elements but this is a false assumption; on the contrary, these gases can combine with all sorts of other elements.

See the subjects: Compounds and Other compounds in this Wiki about Xenon

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon
Quote
Xenon and the other noble gases were for a long time considered to be completely chemically inert and not able to form compounds. However, while teaching at the University of British Columbia, Neil Bartlett discovered that the gas platinum hexafluoride (PtF6) was a powerful oxidizing agent that could oxidize oxygen gas (O2) to form dioxygenyl hexafluoroplatinate (O2+[PtF6]–). Since O2 and xenon have almost the same first ionization potential, Bartlett realized that platinum hexafluoride might also be able to oxidize xenon. On March 23, 1962, he mixed the two gases and produced the first known compound of a noble gas, xenon hexafluoroplatinate. Bartlett thought its composition to be Xe+[PtF6]–, although later work has revealed that it was probably a mixture of various xenon-containing salts. Since then, many other xenon compounds have been discovered, along with some compounds of the noble gases argon, krypton, and radon, including argon fluorohydride (HArF), krypton difluoride (KrF2), and radon fluoride. By 1971, more than 80 xenon compounds were known.
Furthermore, these five Papp noble gases will combine in all sorts of ways among and between themselves to form huge super-atomic clusters.

These clusters can contain any permutation and combination of these five gases starting from just two noble gas element sets all the way to include all five types of noble gases.

If you are interested in details, these various noble gas cluster combinations are listed in this document as follows:

lets just say that if the mix gets contaminated... how would the gas not get contaminated in the cylinder? i mean there must be some rescue in the cylinder that will effect the gas...

my thought is that the gas mixing apparatus was to mix the gasses... and that may be all... i don't know.

one thing that make me think a lot is that somewhere he mentions running the argon through a chamber full of iron bits that are polarized with a magnet or electromagnet... cant remember the details. maybe Axil can find it.

ah, here it is:
Quote
Turning to FIG. 17C, mixer 201 also includes additional ionizing heads 239, 240 and 241, additional valves V25-V46, V39A and V40A, valves V29 and V32 being quality control and exhaust valves and valve V39A being a check valve, a vacuum and pressure gauge 242 between valves V35 and V36, tubing branches B34-B49 (branch B39 consisting of two parts B39A and B39B), a pair of intake ports 243 and 245 which during operation are connected to sources 247 and 249 of argon and neon gas respectively, gauges 250A and 250B, a spark chamber 251, a hydrogen and oxygen retention chamber 253 containing No. 650 steel dust in a silk filter, an ion gauge 255 (which can be an RG 75K type Ion Gauge from Glass Instruments, Inc. of Pasadena, Calif.) for removing excess inert gases from the mixture, inner and outer coils of glass tubing 257 and 259 surrounding a mixing chamber 261, a focused x-ray tube 263 for subjecting the mixture flowing therethrough to 15-20 millirem alpha radiation and 120-125 millirem beta radiation, a directed cathode ray tube 265, two twin parallel magnetic coils 266 and 267, and a focusing magnetic coil 269. It is important that coils 266 and 267 be immediately adjacent mixing chamber 261. And (see FIG. 17D) the mixer also comprises three more ionizing heads 271, 273 and 275, two entry ports 277 and 279 which during operation are connected to sources 281 and 283 of krypton and xenon respectively, gauges 284A and 284B, a high frequency discharge tube 285, a twin parallel magnetic coil 287 surrounding a polarizer 289 for polarizing the argon, said polarizer containing fine steel particles which are polarized by coils 287 and which in turn polarize argon, a second hydrogen retention chamber 291, a pair of tubing branches B50 and B51, two filters 293 and 295 and a plurality of valves V47-V59, valves V57 and V59 being quality control and exhaust valves
whats in red is highly significant in my opinion.  and even more after all my research of the EPG and its gasses...

lets expand on this!

why did he need to do this to just the argon?!?!

I may be smart to download a copy before it is removed.

Some interesting snipits from the document follow:
Quote
Bill says Bob deliberately left out video sections of Papp at the glovebox where the buckets were seen to be smoking.

The smoking is indicative of metallic rubidium use in the buckets.

Walter Bachmann, a former National Semiconductor forensics technician, says metallic rubidium forms an amalgam with aluminum.  The buckets are made of aluminum.  Rubidium has an isotope that is an alpha emitter with a 10 billion year half life like thorium.

Metallic rubidium can migrate to the surface of the buckets, presenting alpha emission directly to the gas mixture.

Bill thinks the buckets form a soft x-ray parametric amplifier, where alpha emissions from thorium or rubidium excite the sulfur or phosphorous atoms into fluorescence in the 2 keV range, which then emit those x-rays through the aluminum bucket walls into the plasma to further ionize the plasma discharge.

In summary, lacking a gas lab, the working fluids in the engine of air, argon, or the patent mixture specified in patent #4,428,193 did not produce P2T events with thorium oxide in mineral oil or metallic rubidium in the buckets.  Testing in single-event, clear test cylinders was done also, including 27 MHz RF, and capacitive discharge as an exceptional method merely for exploratory purposes.

attached a copy... read this a while back... ~russ
bob had tole me many of times that the "Metallic rubidium can migrate to the surface of the buckets, presenting alpha emission directly to the gas mixture." not in those exact turns but close to it.

actually, i think he posted this here when he was posting here... ?!?! way back win... ??

any how. these are the things i talk about briefly in my eriler videos... and agree theses things are relevant.



i have a question. on the pap cannon. what was the activating electronics??? i mean it was not a motor so it was just a simple set up i assume??

Russ - as far as I can tell the Papp cannon just used a hot wire for ignition. Use a Tungsten wire, heat it to almost-white between the cap+ and cap- electrodes, and wait a little bit till there's enough ionisation from the heating to make a conductive path. The wire probably gets blown away so it's a one-shot system. He could probably have used a spark for this just the same, but the hot wire is simpler. It still needs the "treated gas mix" though.

Quote from Axil on January 9th, 2013, 09:39 PM
To start out, noble gas clusters including Xenon clusters are formed when these noble gases are pre-ionized by RF radiation.

The main design goal in the Papp reaction is to produce UV and X-rays.

To do this, Papp used enhanced isotopic nuclear radiation to produce X-rays catalyzed by a high voltage spark discharge; however his spark was relatively weak in terms of current.

But a strong enough high current spark discharge can generate this level and kind of EMF.

It has been recently discovered that noble gas clusters will explode when exposed to high intensity EMF in the UV and X-ray range.

Xenon clusters that range in size up to about 14 000-atoms will explode yielding extremely energetic ions with energies up to 1 MeV.

By contrast, a chemical explosion involves chemical transition energies of only some tens of electron volts.

An explosion of noble gases can far surpass in power of what a chemical explosive can deliver.

The explosion of noble gas clusters including xenon clusters initiated by strong emf in the ultraviolet and the X-ray range provides an explanation of where all that power and all those electrons produced by the Papp engine come from.
Axil,
I have calculated that the pressure in the cylinder at 'combustion' is on the order of 2800psi (186 atm) in the dyno tested engine.

Does this jive with your thoughts?

Regarding the video: "It’s not HHO, Cold fusion & the Papp engine."


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foIWltOShO0&feature=player_embedded

In the video, the speaker sites a 23% improvement in engine efficiency due to HHO based nuclear reactions.

He then draws a comparison between HHO and the Papp reaction.

The speaker references this paper by  R.A. Oriani and J.C. Fisher

www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/OrianiRAenergeticc.pdf

Then the speaker speculates that an unknown neutron like substance catalyzes alpha particle emissions as a result of electrolysis.


Being a fan of LeClair, I believe this speculation is true.


From the work of LeClair, we know that a water crystal exists and this superatom is a Brown’s gas seed.


The water crystal is produced either by cavatation or an electric arc.


https://nanospireinc.com/Fusion.html



Also see “Protonated water clusters” in this reference:

http://gupea.ub.gu.se/bitstream/2077/28349/1/gupea_2077_28349_1.pdf

This water based superatom will catalyze the lowering of the coulomb barrier of atoms in the combustion plasma of a car cylinder and produce LENR based nuclear fission, fusion and alpha decay in that container.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superatom

But the speaker jumps to an unsupported conclusion: The unknown electrolytic substance (water crystals) is central to the Papp reaction. I doubt this is true for the Papp reaction, but superatom formation using other elements cannot be ruled out at this juncture.

From what I have seen in that various demos of the Papp engine, water is not used as a Papp reactant.

If a superatom LENR catalyst is produced, Xenon would be the best candidate for its crystallization/ionization.

The Papp reaction is probably based on the production of a supersonic shockwave.

In the same way that the LeClair water crystals produce a supersonic shockwave in the LeClair reactor, an Xenon superatom will catalyze a supersonic shockwave in the five noble gas mix of the popper.

Both hydrogen and nitrogen also can produce superatoms which is sometimes called Rydberg matter.
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg_matter

Experimentally determining the true basis of the Papp reaction is within reach of Russ’s experimental purview.
Very interesting video (and your analysis of Mark Hugo theory), thanks for posting the link.

There looks to be multiple processes happening in the Papp design.  What is needed are working units so that more researchers can experiment and determine what is happening and where the "free energy" comes from.

Don’t be confused in the same way I once was about this. Papp invented the Papp engine twice; the first implementation was based on cavatation. The second one was based on noble gas explosion.

His cannon may have been a hybrid of his two technologies; it may have used both cavatation and noble gas explosion to develop very high power.

His cannon video shows that he used five gases and a liquid.

So Axil,

Are you saying that you are onboard with the idea that Papp's secret is the combination and formation of super-atom clusters as I floated out to the group in this post?

http://open-source-energy.org/?tid=659&pid=10936#pid10936

If we all have enough imagination to believe that the Papp engine is real for some mysterious reason, then why can't we go ahead and believe in a mysterious gas process that would cluster the gas atoms together to substantially reduce the gas mixture volume (lets say 100 to 1, plus or minus 50).  It is this pre-processed, pre-shrunk - clustered, whatever gas that is put in the cylinders at 1 atmosphere and ignited.  If that gas expands 100 times, to produce 100 atmospheres of pressure for the down stoke, then now we are beginning to talk about a system that will produce the type of torque the dyno tested engine did.

I think our scammer boy JR has, unknowingly, created this gas shrinking process.

Again, here is the link: LINK REPAIRED

http://dimensionalbliss.com/2011/08/06/plasmergs-anomaly-defies-scientific-explanation/

Of course JR's powers of observation are so poor, that this is what he said about the event when cross examined by a spectator:

Unknown - Is your fuel all gone?

Rohner - The fuel is all gone it sucks the balloon into the tube.

Unknown - When you open it up, there is no more fuel in that chamber?

Rohner - Consider for a moment what has to happen for the balloon to get pulled into the tube. It has to become a vacuum. It is all gone.

K C Dias: "It is all gone"  Really???  Perhaps it just contracted by a factor of 100.

Come on folks, this is the missing part of the puzzle!

kcd [/color]
The second Papp reaction design: noble gas explosion, seems to be consistent with the concept of noble gas clustering.

And yet the things that Papp did in this flavor of his technology implies behavior related to noble gas clustering that I did/do not think was/is possible.

For me for example, the basic idea behind his mixer/purifier looks like Papp is dealing with noble gas clustering.

His gas mixer/purifier ionizes each noble gas in turn and builds noble gas clusters by adding each gas type to a combined cluster combination hybrid.

When all the five gases are complete, Papp moves this hybrid cluster collection to a mix tank.

This storage of the gas mix in a tank for later use implies that the noble gas hybrid cluster is stable over a very long timeframe if not permanently.

When talking in the Papp jargon, mixing gases really means pre-formulating noble gas cluster/gas mixes.

Furthermore, the volume of the gases that comprise the noble gas cluster mixes may be substantially reduced because of a phase shift of some substantial fraction of the noble gases to a pseudo solid to form a “solid/gas mix” formulation.


Volume reduction may have been seen in the condensation of noble gases in the J. Rohner incident described as follows:

http://dimensionalbliss.com/2011/08/06/p...planation/

This theory of long lived noble gas clustering can be experimentally shown in the Popper as follows:

Experiment description.

Add a volume of noble gases to the Popper so that the relatively high pressure of the gases reaches N (say five) bar. Measure and record the pressure of the gases in the Popper. Run the popper for a time by applying spark discharge.

Now measure and record the pressure of the gases in the Popper.

If the pressure of the gases has been reduced, noble gas clustering may have occurred during the ionization produced by the discharge of the sparks while the Popper was in operation.  

If a pressure decrease is observed, periodically re-measure the pressure of the noble gas mix contained in the Popper to ascertain if clustering is permanent or temporary having a finite limit to the lifetime of the cluster.


--------------------------------------------------------
I believe that the accumulated feedback charge producded by the last spark discharge must be removed from the noble gas mix before the next cycle of the firing of the cylinder can be effective.

The clustering idea may support this belief. The residual feedback charge from the last firing of the discharge spark may keep the gas clusters from collapsing back to their initial volume.

This J. Rohner anomaly may point to this cluster relaxation behavior.

As the coil gradually removes the feedback charge, the clusters gradually contracts to their minimal volume.
 
The Papp formula may well act as follows:

Add electrons and x-rays through spark discharge and the noble gas clusters expand in volume.

Remove electrons and the noble gas clusters shrink in volume

My concern with this is the leakage in the system. We may have a long term slow leak because of the seals and we may have a more robust leak when running because of seal stress by the Piston movement.

We could dial out the slow leak, buy monitoring pressure for some long time to see no leak. The Piston leakage is the tougher issue.

If there was a pressure drop, but the pressure came back we could rule out the Piston seals

We could maybe tell is there were particles formed by marks on the walls or piston head.

Connecting the top and bottom volumes on both ends of the piston using a wide diameter pipe will remove gas  seal leakage concerns around the piston in the system.

If we have a startoff mix consisting of large atomclusters, those clusters are not likely to escape the chamber.
Leakage of this kind should be a concern after we have our answers. For what the prices are, we could embody the whole engine in a mixed gas bag.

What intriges me, is that J.R stumbled on to the clusterbonding process. And that his coil got hot. The only way a coil can get hot is by pushing current through it or by having it go into induction by the electrons coming.... from the build up of atomclusters. And those can be formed by electromagnetic fields, as i read.

An inducting coil is a coil shortcircuited, but they hooked it to a ground. And that did not work, so the answer here is that his coil had a short-circuit. That explains why it heated up, that explains why its inductionforce helped to build superclusters and with that further heated up. A cascading reaction.

This should be a clue to the gas treatment

If we replicate we should be able to make the clustered gas mix and try that in the popper.

Also if we fill the carterpan with the same mix, the pressure increase in that buffer pan will be incremental, will be small due to its size in comparison with the volume input by lowering of the pistons.

Sorry for earlier questions that were already answered previously in this thread. I've been trying to catch up on the thread. 68 pages is a lot of reading and a lot of dead text in replies. At least I've found a way to get to sleep at night. Lol. :)

Just an interesting thought about what the cylinder coils may actually be doing here. It's just a thought after watching the 2011 tesla tech presentation by J R. And him discussing the cylinder electromagnets.

http://www.braeunig.us/space/propuls.htm

Creating a magnetic chamber is pretty ingenious if this is how its working and creating extra force.

I read somewhere that magnetism will repel plasma. Not sure of the validity of this statement, but might make sense as to why they are there and why they have to be fired at the appropriate time. If the magnetic field comes on too early it would therefore hinder the plasma flow instead of constrict it to increase pressure and then create this thruster effect. Too late and the amount of thrust gain is less.

As far as preparing the next cylinder for fire I am not sure if this voltage/power comes from the coils, a single coil, or an extra set of electrodes in the expansion chamber.  I'm trying to read all of this thread, but I'm not checking all the links. Could anyone refer me to the schematics or are there schematics in the patent info?  What I glanced over I didn't notice any original schematics.  

Maybe this info has already been brought up, but i felt it to be an aha moment and thought I would share with people who actually have "working" units.

As far as creating plasma, it seems you have 2 options. Multi electrodes with HV or a single electrode with HV that induces a capacitor or high current discharge battery. Caps are cheaper than lithium batteries.

I drive an electric car and have done a lot of research on EVs. I've seen numerous accounts of plasma jumps in these higher than 200V traction packs when care isn't given to spacing the 200v potential + and -.  Basically it burns the car to the ground depending upon battery capacity.  I think a single electrode with a capacitor discharge would effectively be cheaper than using 3 or 4 HV transformers/coils. Especially when wanting to use multiple cylinders.

Just some thoughts.

Tim
You can't know everything until you realize u know nothing.  :)
Maybe extra force would be incorrect terminology. How about more focused force?  Kind of like hydraulics of the expansion piston of a stirling.  Constricting the gas to amplify or at least get a uniform pressure throughout the expansion/combustion cycle.

You've got a plausible explanation for the 'push' and the 'pull' on the piston, but why should one be greater than the other? This is a requirement if you aim to achieve over-unity, even if you ignore friction.
I believe two processes are underway simultaneously after the spark discharge is initiated.

First, there is a plasmoid that is generated and is propelled toward the surface of the piston.

Second, at the same time, there is an electromagnetic expansion of noble gas clusters concurrent with the movement of the plasmoid.

There is a threshold on the power contained in the spark that must be achieved before proper x-ray intensity is produced by the spark to achieve noble gas cluster breakup. These x-rays will then stimulate the disruption and associated expansion of the noble gas clusters.

This total aggregate input power threshold is in the neighborhood in the range between about 500 to 1000 joules.

The power output of the Papp reaction scales upward with increasing spark discharge power.

A plasmoid can be produced by a spark with a power as low as one joule. A plasmoid will produce a power transfer efficiency of about 60% of spark power.

The cluster explosion will supply additional energy that takes the process to over unity.

The return of the piston to top dead center position is caused by a vacuum produced by the reformulation of the noble gas clusters.

This additional energy produced by this contraction caused by the reformulation of the noble gas clusters adds to the total energy product of the Papp engine reaction.
