Papp Engine – Abundant, Low Price Energy
The name's Bob Rohner and I'm the President of Rohner Machine
Works. I've created this web site for the purpose of discussing what is
known about the Papp Engine and presenting some compelling video
of its history, creation, and operation. My brother Tom as well as
myself were associates of Joseph Papp for years. All of the engines
you see running in any of the videos were designed and built by us.
Our thoughts and testimony follows on the next page.
What is the Papp Engine ?
The principle of the Papp engine is basic and simple: A hermetic
telescoping gas chamber is filled with a relatively inexpensive,
abundant, and harmless charge of inert gases. These gases are
subjected to controlled electronic pulses and radiation effects to
create a powerful expansion as yet not understood. Removal or
reversal of the pulses causes a contraction leaving the gases ready
to cycle again. During this cycle electrons are released in sufficient
quantity to provide for the power requirements of the opposing
cylinder. This cyclic energy release is also not completely
understood.
What Can it do ?
The gases themselves are estimated to have a life cycle of up to
6,000 hours of operation time. Since the Papp engine is not aspirated
it is capable of operating in any environment. The engine appears to
be torque limited to around 800 ft-lbs in the tests irregardless of
speed. At a 1000 rpm a two cylinder will generate approximately 150
HP. The real maximum has never been completely tested. In simpler
terms, you fill up your car with a charge of inert gas, drive it eight
hours a day for two years, and bring it in for another recharge. All this
time you are releasing nothing into the atmosphere and taking
nothing out.
Unfortunately this project has been surrounded by scammers and psuedo-scientists
who continue to make outlandish claims. Among these are claims that we did not
design and build these engines. So straight from Papp himself we present his credits
and praise.
