[snip] Yes, it is reasonable to feel almost alone in considering non lattice based cold fusion, but there are a few of us out there quietly considering the relationship of Mills experiments to cold fusion experiments. It is interesting to consider that Mills' gas phase experiments are clearly overunity and apparently easy to replicate compared to solid state cold fusion experiments. The simplicity of H2 + He in a microwave plasma certainly requires new physics for an explanation. [end snip] George, could this be 2 sides of the same coin where the lattice structure of Casimir plates concentrate vacuum fluctuations while the narrow reservoir formed between the plates become equally depleted? The isotropy is broken in agreement with cavity QED but the overall structure appears balanced to the outside world. I know Casimir force requires conductive plates which don't necessarily have to be metallic lattices but the less conductive the plates the less catalytic action and so far Mills' and Arata findings seem to support metallic materials are always present. I think diatomic formations at high acceleration are torn apart in rigid Casimir cavities in the same way that the lattice in a Pd membrane breaks normal diatomic compounds. My point is that the lattices do seem to be a key ingredient in either scenario. I don't think Rayney Nickel or Pd nano materials could form cavities of sufficient strength except when intimately surrounded by lattices. Regards Fran
