Below 2 nanometers ( below about 20 times the 0.1 nanometer diameter of the H2 molecule) it disappears even though it's where the 1/R^4 Casimir Force can start to override the 1/R^2 repulsive Coulomb Force (which might be the explanation of "QM Tunneling" in Hot or Cold Fusion (the bubbles formed on the Pd surface for example) ?? > The thermal collision in a gas will be at an > order of magnitude closer distance than that. > Exactly. That is where Casmir-Assisted-thermal collision energy gets the free energy ie., the Casimir Force alone is not strong enough get more OU energy at that separation distance, but aids in increasing the total kinetic energy (heat) of the H2 gas. > > However, you have (inadvertently?) redeemed yourself with the > double ball "slingshot" effect .... > Snip my redemption for now.
