I have only recently gleaned the concept behind SPICE and as a result think the
word "combustion" is misleading in the acronym, no doubt some combustion occurs
but the primary energy source is the same effect confirmed by Rowan University
for Black Light power. The Casimir cavities in Rayney nickel can also occur in
a conductive gas where nonconductive regions form like bubbles meeting Casimir
geometry. These cavities when pressurized by a mechanical piston equate to the
cavitation claims associated with the "Riggs" water hammer. It provides the
abrupt changes in Casimir force to any monatomic gases trapped in these non
conductive regions. The resulting runaway heat has a couple built in safety
mechanisms compared to Rayney nickel, for one the cavities are transitory so
there is no permanent cavity to destroy, and, two the piston allows the plasma
and combustible portion of gas to expand and cool. The energy contribution of
the plasma would have to far exceed the combustion energy to split the water
back into hydrogen and oxygen to close loop the process. I imagine some sort of
cross between a "star in a jar", HHO kit and a combustion engine. It may turn
out this method is the easiest to implement using off the shelf components to
tap the BLP process.
