Terry, The surface forms Casimir geometry which suppresses the larger virtual particles from fitting between the parallel surfaces - this is IMHO equivalent to acceleration in the same way that gravity is except that this is a hill or warp instead of a "well" ...an equivalent inertial frame like gravity but highly variable - no slow gradients but rather changes inversely to the cube [or quad for perfect metals] of the distance between the plates. These rapid changes in suppression levels are the hidden metrics in catalytic action [a big hint I like to cite is the researchers at Cornell found catalytic action only occurs at the openings and defects in nanotubes]. These "inertial frames" can become extreme to the point of relativistic effects. My posit is that atomic hydrogen and molecular hydrogen do NOT translate the same between regions - the molecular bonds of H2 oppose the translation compared to relatively little or no opposition by atomic hydrogen. The ZPE is from the normally chaotic motion of hydrogen gas supplied by HUP in opposition to the molecular bonds when the motion tries to force h2 to translate - if the environment is correct [heated close to disassociation level] this opposition can force HUP to discount the disassociation threshold such that less heat needs to be supplied then is released when the disassociated atoms reform a molecule at their new fractional values.
My posit above is that fewer or smaller VP are NOT left in the suppressed void but rather space-time fabric has a consistent density and cross section population such that the fabric stretches to allow the larger VP to fit - a poor man's route to relativistic space without the need for near luminal velocity. Locally VP and any hydrogen occupying the suppressed region are unaware of these changes and the Casimir boundaries appear to have shrunk away to make room for them while from our perspective they appear smaller and time dilated/catalyzed. Not that catalytic action is all time dilation but rather the ripping action of constantly changing of the time rate as the gas migrates through different zones like a shaker table where the hydrogen is from "our" perspective being violently oscillated along the time axis.

It would seem that the numbers are right and absolutely no nuclear reactions nor transmutations are occurring. The energy of association of nascent hydrogen is 4.476 eV per H2 atom. The dissociation energy of one mole of H2 is 4.476 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 2.7 x 10^24 eV. At 22.47 MeV per kWh, we're talking about 1.2 x 10^18 MeV or 5.35 x 10^16 kWh of energy in a gram of nascent hydrogen. (someone check my math please) So how exactly does the surface of a metal dissociate molecular hydrogen? Where does the 4.476 eV come from? If only some of the energy comes from the zero point field then the Rossi reactor could be powered by the oscillation of hydrogen between the atomic and molecular states. Or not. T
