[Reply] The synopsis above seems accurate and I think general enough to cover everything from LENR to Mills'. I bring it up now a week after the post to extend this description such that anyone seeking excess heat should consider a gas that forms a molecular bond. The Haisch-Moddel patent defines the use of monatomic gas and the common use of Pd with H2&D2 in LENR heavily suggest this requirement also. Taking this analogy 1 step further monatomic gas is able to penetrate deeper into those tiny cavities and as it translates to fractional quantum states penetrate into even smaller cavities. Then forming a translated molecule from 2 of these translated atoms we are ready to, as mentioned above " squash atoms through tiny cavities which force them to give up energy". The molecules' fractional states are locked by the covalent bond but it continues to diffuse through different zones driven by gas law, If the plate spacing in these different zones is different enough the Casimir force will try to translate the atoms to the appropriate fractional state and break the molecular bond as a byproduct restoring the atoms to monatomic energy levels before they reform a molecule at the new fractional state and surrender heat. I mention this now because I see references to using noble gases which may or may not work but I have to suspect that if they work it will be to a lesser extent. Regards Fran and patents seem to focus on monatomic gas. Moddel mentions it in his patent
