To cover more actual experimental results, one might also suggest that "on occasion", nuclear reactions can occur with the walls of the cavity, even if that is not the main source of excess energy. In fact, this type of reaction might only be a QM "balancing act" . One never knows, do one?
Jones, You are correct that on occasion nuclear reactions do occur - much more so than normal for 2 reasons, first time dilation means that the normal low probability Of this occurring at ambient is already multiplied by Gamma and secondly the cavity represents a "3rd" body that accelerates atoms to different inertial frames just like the collisions shown in the BLP animation except there is no need for a collision -the non radiative transfer of energy is occurring constantly with changes in Casimir force that constantly reshape the orbitals to new fractional values based on local geometry (Thanks to Robin for making me investigate the 3rd body). I believe BLP included this "collision" in their animation to simplify their explanation but I am saying the quantum effect of Casimir geometry negates the need for an actual collision because the entire cavity is already working to transfer energy from the atoms at different rates based on local geometry/zones, you call this negative energy because time is occurring faster than the ambient isotropic value we consider the baseline outside a cavity. It doesn't matter if you consider time dragging behind inside the cavity or we outside the cavity are racing ahead in time the absolute difference is the energy potential we have the opportunity to exploit when inertial frames diverge. My posit is that the translation between frames is not symmetrical for different bond states of the atom, the nonradiative energy transfer is opposed by bound atoms and not by unbound atoms turning these bond states into a rectifier mechanism.
