"Letter from P. T. Pappas" (NEN, June 1998, p.27-28) [web]

The inventor's own words. Short quotes and a summary: - He turned to cold fusion "mainly after the indication that my PAP-IMI (Ion Magnetic Inductor) triggers biological transmutations. This is my main subject now". - "I managed to do C to Fe and other elements which I show to non-believers in a few minutes." - "PAP IMI also produces 20% excess heat on the probe alone, not counting other loses all around which certainly should make this figure more than 2-3 times bigger." It "was also producing water from the beginning", and he added a drain. He judges that it "does cold fusion... as the energies are in the range of 30 Kev." - He attaches his "last minute contribution to ICCF-7 with the title: Electrically induced fusion in the living cell", and points to "Our Cancer Theory" and a "Lung Cancer Case" treated in Santa Monica on www.papimi.gr. - Address: 26 Markopulioti Street, Athens 11744 (the same postcode as the Greek manufacturer on the 2002 FDA import invoice). E-mail pappasp@ibm.net. - Editor's note: "The editor visited Dr. Pappas when he was working with M.D.'s from UCLA in Santa Monica." - Directly after it in the same issue is a reader letter (Roger K. Parr, "Over Unity Measurements") asking whether over-unity claims come from measuring complex current and voltage waveforms incorrectly. It is not about Pappas, but it raises the measurement question that applies to claim 1.

How this bears on the claims

• Claim 1: the inventor reports excess heat at the probe (20%, and estimated 2-3 times more). This is a quantitative energy claim by the inventor, separate from the patent's 10-100x voltage and current claim. No method is given in the letter.
• Claim 4: the "selective activation of atoms" idea had become nuclear transmutation (C to Fe; Na + O -> K) by 1998.
• Lead: ICCF-7 (Vancouver, April 1998) proceedings, "Electrically induced fusion in the living cell"; Journal of New Energy, "Electrically Induced Nuclear Fusion" (cited by Moawad 2013); papimi.gr in the Wayback Machine for 1998-2000.
