Awesome videos.
I think the story of Feynman's involvement was fascinating. What it seemed like to me was that his God complex tendencies led to this sort of technology being suppressed and ridiculed among the scientific community, and that attitude even killed somebody through his ultimate action of disbelief (unplugging the machine that he did not believe could possibly be running, causing it to malfunction and explode). Feynman even went so far as to accuse Papp of intentionally causing his machine to explode (in order to avoid being exposed as a fraud) when it was actually Feynman's fault.
Could that story be symbolic of a certain mindset held by society that has deterred innovation in energy production? Could the symbolism also be applicable in an inner sense regarding our spiritual seeking, with similar attitudes turned towards the self causing the same lapse in personal growth as Feynman himself caused in the production of this engine?
Just to be sure I understood what was being presented in the first two videos...
They describe the engine in the second video as being similar in HP/torque/RPM as a new 6.7L diesel engine.
Is the size of the engine displayed in the video the same size as the engine they describe with that power?
I'm assuming such engine would have similar applications as that sort of diesel engine?
What's the cost of the sort of gases needed to keep it running? How sustainable is the source of this type of gas mixture?
I think the most exciting part is how they expect the technology to be available for use by developers so soon. I wonder what sort of practical applications we can see from this particular engine? Will we see home generators? Cheap and clean transportation?
