hummm. well I agree that we still don't know. lolQuote from element 119 on May 29th, 2013, 12:04 PM Yes true but the main pop takes place when the piston is closest to the electrodes and therefore the shinny part would not be a factor.Quote from Axil on May 29th, 2013, 08:17 AM In the Papp engine design as patented, the polished walls of the cylinder would have been wiped clean of residue by the movement of the piston. This would keep the walls of the cylinder bright.Quote from element 119 on May 29th, 2013, 06:25 AM Due to the residue build up inside the cylinder any attempts to provide a highly polished surface to reflect light in a NGE is a waste of time.
So in my opinion I say, move along please. ;)
Besides you don’t really want the gas to stay expanded for a long time, this would hinder the piston from returning to BDC.
Interesting effect but better left to scientific study by a research lab.

More pops when the piston is approaching BDC in the shinny part of the cylinder may hinder the piston returning if the gas stays expanded.
See Bob’s video about the braking effect of the gas staying expanded to long.
Just my opinion.

Note I edited 1st post to read TDC instead of BDC. Sorry for the confusion!!!
papp patent stated to do so Willard showed some good stuff but i it goo i don't know... :) more testing needed.
also FYI element 119, test and post results. try it all. thats what its about. so i will post every and all data i can so theses type of videos that may not be helpful to some will be helpful to all in the long run... :)
more to come. i did not have the time i thought i would for 22. more on 23 hope to "spill the beans" so to speak if all falls in place this week. a lot of work in the background happening... all takes time so we will get there.
Blessings! ~Russ
I’m just saying that as far as a working engine goes the residue build up in the main part of the chamber would hinder any high reflective attempts. If a gas mix that does not leave behind a residue can be found then this may be a factor. Until then not much can be gained from this endeavor.
Time may be better spent finding minimum input for maximum power output. If time is an issue for you then why spend it in a direction with no beneficial results to come form it?
No matter what good results can be found from a high reflective surface, what good is it if the residue problem is not solved?
Logic would say max expansion at TDC with min expansion near BDC, residue build up would hinder this process.
Keep in mind the reason for exhaust valves in standard engine is to get rid of the expanded gas, in a system with no exhaust then keeping the gas expanded is bad.
Just my opinion!!!
