If this patent is also by Papp, then your comment applies, if the
patent is not by Papp, then it is erroneous. Papp mentions nothing in
his patent about radioactive elements. Apples with apples.

You did not post the patent URL or the inventor name.
Your research activities and website appear to revolve heavily around
radioactivity as a source, and I've seen it applied to many past
researchers.
IMHO, I don't think there is sufficient evidence for these radioactive
claims to date, mostly because the claims have not yielded a working
duplication of any prior machine or its power producing abilities.
The bottomline remains - the winner is the one with a working machine, it
is this person whose theory I would have the most confidence in, simply
because they applied it to RESULTS.
