In terms of surface adsorption and surface plasmonics, in “Enhanced
Epicatalysis” - if the surface of the catalyst were to naturally form into
Casimir sized cavities, due to impact dynamics … and given the millibar
pressure level of hydrogen, we would expect to see perhaps only one molecule of

Would those be very small pores? I believe the Casimir effect only occurs
in very small dimensions.

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.

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 if

Actually, my use of the term 'equilibrium' is probably technically
incorrect in this situation since they say the systems they study are
non-equilibrium stationary systems. What I mean is that if enough time

Wow. Can’t keep the two threads separated… $20 million to the winner ? Nice
incentive.
It might be fun to merge this thread into the X-Prize thread, with the aim of
framing a system which would look a little like Sheehan’s and a little like
Cravens’, with Arata and Ahern thrown in for good
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 wi
If equilibrium conditions were met shouldn't the contribution of heat
from adsorption vanish?

I just wonder whether they took into account that Tungsten at 2000K and 1
Torr likely absorbs Hydrogen.
Absorption of Hydrogen into metal lattices is an exothermic mechanism.
Nothing mentioned in their report.

Interesting how similar the description is to the Casimir effect.
My son (doing a theoretical physics PhD) tends to quote Pirates of the

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 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
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.

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 wh
