I agree mass is changing but think it is related to relativistic effects inside a cavity. From our perspective the normal hydrogen inside the cavity appears like hydrinos and because time dilation is a real lasting effect of relativity it experiences multiple seconds per second diluting the background gravitational effects as compared to outside the cavity. I suspect the macro summing effects responsible for deep gravity wells have a very local progenitor at that the nano scale before large scale averaging and summing becomes dominant. Theses normally chaotic forces organize inside Casimir plates which like an Omni antenna at X db can bend and focus the same energy to throw 10X db in a single direction. The plate geometry focuses this gravitational displacement outside the plates like a directional antenna and creates a "gravitational Hill" between the plates inverse to their spacing cubed for non ideal conductors.

I don't recall seeing a paper that breaks out the inertia effect by frequency, but there may well be one. One major problem with the ideas in my article is the fact that the majority of inertia is centered in the nucleus, which interacts principally with much smaller frequencies than the electron shells. This limits the effective mass right off to roughly Me/(Mp + Mn) = 2.721 x 10^-4 the total mass. I think a central problem with all this is getting some kind of experiment to unmistakably demonstrate an inertia reducing effect. Also, unlike the ideas in: http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/CasimirGenerator.pdf http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/CasimirBoiler.pdf which do not suffer the obvious flaw of violation conservation of energy, all the concepts in this paper suffer from the glaring violation of conservation of momentum. None of the concepts appear to extract momentum from the ZPF directly. There are probably dozens of ways momentum can rebalance that I have overlooked, like forces between the pendula and the cavity walls, fringe effects, etc. Still, I think all the concepts are good food for thought. > > There may however be another problem.

A valid point I think. Some years ago, in a discussion related to Art's parts, I suggested the possibility of using a switchable or variable Casimir cavity which entirely surrounds a larger cavity as a method of screening the ZPF from the larger cavity. If inertia inside a large cavity can be fast switched, then there are practically unlimited possibilities for inertial drives. If a large volume screening effect does exist, with regards to inertia, then it will affect the design as proposed, but open up other design possibilities. For example, a bunch of pendula can vibrate synchronously with the cut-off of the ZPF. No worries then about having to provide small Casimir cavities for each pendulum. The above may be a very valid criticism of the free energy from the ZPF ideas. I think any such device is limited in the amount of energy it can extract by the amount of flow if ZPF energy (in the spectrum used by the device) to the device, which occurs at light speed. A possible exception to this is that higher frequency ZPF virtual photons might be down shifted in frequency by nearby matter, the matter of the device itself, by causing vibrations of charged particles, especially nuclear particles. These charged particles, being sources of virtual photons themselves, may then have the capacity to increase the lower frequency virtual photon flux. All guesswork.
