Query (Chrome): author:"PT Pappas" (first results page only; 6 pages available). The earlier Google query Pappas "Nuovo Cimento" 1983 Ampere force Biot-Savart Lorentz gave the Springer, OSTI, ScienceDirect, Nature, IOP (Cornille 1989) and AIP records.

Pappas's journal publications [web] (Scholar listing; abstracts only, full texts not obtained)

  • P. T. Pappas, "The original Ampère force and Biot-Savart and Lorentz forces", Il Nuovo Cimento B 76(2), 189 (1983), cited by 151. Scholar snippet: "the results of a very simple experiment, which favours the original Ampère force and unambiguously disproves the Biot-Savart force of relativity". https://link.springer.com (record); OSTI ETDEWEB record. A Nature news item "Validity of Laws of Electrodynamics" lists it (not opened).
  • P. T. Pappas, P. G. Moyssides, "On the fundamental laws of electrodynamics", Physics Letters A 111, 193-197 (1985), cited by 33.
  • P. G. Moyssides, P. T. Pappas, "Rigorous quantitative test of Biot-Savart-Lorentz forces", J. Appl. Phys. (1986), cited by 37: "an experiment performed at the National Technical University of Athens".

  • P. T. Pappas, "Electrodynamics from Ampere to now: future perspective", in Essays on the Formal Aspects of Electromagnetic Theory, World Scientific (1993).
  • The page also lists sports-science papers by a different "PT Pappas" (Paradisis et al. 2014, 2017). Different person; excluded.
  • Follow-up literature: P. Cornille (1989), "On the difference between the Lorentz and Ampère force laws", IOP; "The Ampère and Biot-Savart force laws" (ResearchGate).

Bears on claim 1: Pappas's stated theory of "energy creation" in sparks rests on his Ampère "cardinal law" electrodynamics (1988 abstract title: "The Cardinal Law of Electrodynamics, the Principle of Conservation of Energy, and the Tesla Magnifying Effect"). This is related work the reviewers should know about. It is published in mainstream journals (Nuovo Cimento, Phys. Lett. A, J. Appl. Phys.) and belongs to the Ampère-versus-Lorentz force debate (Graneau and others).

Hosted by a German PAPIMI practitioner (interested party). Author contact: papimi.gr, ppappas@papimi.com. Contents: 1. "PAPIMI - The Spark of Life" (Starnberg, Germany, PAP IMI Conference, 2 Mar 2002); 2. Oximutation and oxidation; 3. Human muscle efficiency; 4. Other contradictions; 5. "Breathless" New Scientist article; 6. FAQ; 7. Pappas' theory of cancer; 8. The equation of life; later "Pappas' New Patent Pending" (NMR/EPR, "Multiple NMR (2025 Hz - 830000 Hz)"). Key statements (inventor's own): - "PAP-IMI is a unique PEMF (Nanopulsed Electromagnetic Field) Generator... 1. It has the highest instantaneous power in the range over of 1,000,000,000 Watts, >1 Giga Watts... 2. ... a rise time in the range of some hundreds of nanoseconds and an active period over pause period of less than .0000001". - Approvals claimed: CE 0120 (Directive 93/42/EEC Annex II, SGS notified body UK), a GOSSTANDART certificate (Russia/CIS), Mexico licence 0767E2003 S.S.A. - "Connections" listed: lightning; "Sparks Muller 1956"; Tesla and d'Arsonval devices; Rife, Lakhovsky and Priore devices; nanopulsed diathermies; surgical diathermy; defibrillators; electroporators; NMR/MRI generators. - An oscillogram of the nanopulse is read as "Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Emitted Echoes" (p.5). Pappas argues that since his patents are classified A61N2/00 and G01R33/28 (NMR), PAPIMI is both therapy and MRI generator. - Cell theory: the cell is an "(ATP) controlled microscopic Nuclear Reactor, turning atomic energy directly into electricity (TMP)" (Scholar summary). Cover equation: 23Na11 + 16O8 -> 39K19 + atomic energy. Text: healthy TMP 70 mV, cancer about 15 mV; "The PAPIMI increases the transmembrane potential of the cells towards the healthy state of 70 mvolts". - Clinical report attributed to Dr Ilias Basteas (bio-pathologist, Athens): 70% of maximum strength, "888 magnetic nanopulses at about 80 Joules each" over about 30 cm x 30 cm; blood ions and chemistry before and after; 28 osteoarthritic or pain cases (p.~49). Not read in detail this run.

Bears on: claim 1 (GW instantaneous power); claim 2 (rise time and duty cycle: the patent gives 0.001%, a fraction of 1e-5; this document gives an active/pause ratio under 1e-7, a hundred times smaller); claim 4 (recast as NMR multiple resonance and nuclear transmutation); claim 5 (TMP restoration; Basteas data). Reviewers should read pp.40-55 (cases and data) in a deep read.
