Moddel is looking at this situation with blinders on. There are several ways to get excess heat from hydrogen via Casimir cavities that have come up here periodically for discussion, aside from variations on the fractional hydrogen theme. The Lamb shift is indicative of one of them. Jones, I don't agree with the Haisch - Moddel extraction method but I do agree with his depiction of the Casimir field as just a more significant Variation in vacuum fluctuations compared to the Lamb shift. I know my reference to the Mills "nonradiative translation" to f/h wasn't clear but the point I was trying to make was if the cavity could represent a super or virtual catalyst where the accumulated field from metal atoms in the plate or pores of the Rayney nickel negate the need for a 3 body collision. Their collective "Casimir" field pervades the cavity and reacts with the gas atoms as if they were constantly in contact with a catalyst - perhaps the fractional orbitals could be considered virtual intermediate products CX and CY such that when they collide you get a fractional molecule XY and a photon release as in a 3 body collision without a need to reform the catalyst.
