JC, IMHO the resonance as mentioned by Mark, and the Rydberg matter as mentioned by Axil, are both "involved" in supplying this million fold energy gain you require but are not the "source". I do like that you referred to " the random atomic motion" because it is actually just that chaotic motion of hydrogen gas when confined inside the Ni powder that accumulates your energy in what may be our first glimpse of a Heisenberg Uncertainty trap. Both Mill's skeletal catalyst and Rossi's nano powder form geometries that displace larger virtual particles which lowers the total energy density of space time in these "suppression" regions. Catalytic action only occurs where there are openings or changes in these geometries which is why these geometries are so critical and easily degraded. An ideal Casimir cavity has a rather steady energy density except near the slab edges and therefore very little catalytic action, but, if you were to corrugate the boundaries so the energy density between them varies you would have a synthetic catalyst [like the Haisch - Moddel prototype]. This means much care must be taken to maintain rough grainy boundaries as the working environment but still need to provide rapid relative motion of the hydrogen to the boundaries, This is why Mark focused on resonance which instead of a direct current stream of hydrogen circulation through the bulk powder equates to an alternating stream of the hydrogen sloshing back and forth through the powder. [a static fill as Jones Beene refers to it as opposed to a messy external path and pump assembly. H2 recombination has a high energy release and my posit remains that existing heat and vigorous catalytic action can discount the energy needed to disassociate the newly formed molecule at over unity. This requires a careful balance of temp near disassociation, an agitator like Rossi's RF to move the hydrogen and heat extraction to protect the geometry and cool the hydrogen back into recombination in an endless cycle. Axil's Rydberg hydrogen and my own inverse Rydberg hydrogen are born from the environment. Jan Naudts said the hydrino was relativistic but didn't say how which led me to interpret Casimir effect as relativistic. The environment makes the hydrogen appear relativistic without the need for speed - more of a segregation where regions of reduced density form inverse Rydberg matter while balancing regions of increased density form Rydberg matter.

IOW a kind of maxwellian demon based on change in vacuum energy density that discounts the disassociation threshold of dihydrinos but allows hydrino motion unopposed.

ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE. You are reasoning from the physics of brute force, which is all that nuclear physicists know. The physics of resonance can achieve the extreme energy levels required with very small, but properly timed/oriented, inputs. Tesla generated electrical discharges over 130 feet long when in Colorado Springs in 1899. That represents many 10s of millions of volts when his primary coil was operating at some very small fraction of that. He had VERY crude materials to work with and very limited electrical equipment (much of which he had to build). Despite the primitive resources, he was able to generate the EXTREME voltages and currents >>> >>BECAUSE OF RESONANCE<<<<<.
