Sorry, I did not reply sooner. Thanks for the interest. Except for my
encounters with Maxwell's demon this field is all new to me. Unfortunately

Suppose epicatalysis can cycle between hydrogen and shrunken hydrogen instead
of just between H2 and H.
That would be the logical progression to Mills’ view, especially
One more thing to add. Absorption/adsorption of hydrogen is usually
exothermic - and degassing is usually endothermic. The balance of the two is
zero. That much is usually true, with an emphasis on ”usually”. In hydrogen
storage technologies, heat is usually added in order to release hydrogen.

The “pore storage” of course invokes the dynamical Casimir effect.
It can be exothermic.
Would those be very small pores? I believe the Casimir effect only occurs
in very small dimensions.

Yes, the geometry is very specific – 2-12 nanometers.
Higher or lower spacing is no good. In fact, buckyballs (C60) are just a bit
too small to experience a Casimir effect, but some forms of CNT (nanotubes) can
be part of a Casimir anomaly.

Torr likely absorbs Hydrogen.
Absorption of Hydrogen into metal lattices is an exothermic mechanism.
Nothing mentioned in their report.

If epicatalysis systems exist which can produce a higher temperature from
just ambient temperature without any additional input power then COP in
terms of heat output is infinity which is meaningless.
By analogy applying the COP measure to a naturally occurring waterfall
gives infinity...except

Thanks for posting this, Harry. Epicatalysis is a good name for a more general
phenomenon which can replace the idea that LENR must involve fusion.
This does not mean that there cannot be some forms of LENR which do involve
fusion, but it opens the door for another branch of LENR
This result seems reasonable since a hot black body can emit IR radiation from
its surface. This process is in effect changing internal thermal heat energy
into radiation energy which can be harnessed to perform work.
I have long pondered this apparent loophole.

In the earlier Sheehan paper abstract, I was struck by the fact that this
would be possible to achieve perpetual motion, if one could find an almost
perfect mirror reflector of IR (gold works well to 1.5 microns). Does anyone
have the full paper?
Funny thing - they mention a Crookes radiometer
The COP measure by itself is inadequate for evaluating the productivity of
such systems. Carnot efficiency (which will exceed 100%) should be included
in the measure somehow.

I do not have a problem with low apparent COP at this early stage.
BTW – we should step back and relook at the Cravens NI-Week demo in the context
of Epicatalysis, and as an example of something similar but more robust than
Sheehan. Cravens was getting much higher COP, at modest temps. There
