While seeking additional support for a relativistic interpretation of Casimir effect in a new blog http://froarty.scienceblog.com/8/relativistic-interpertation-casimir-effect-explains-hydrino-without-zpe/#more-8 , I got conflicting reports of half life acceleration and deceleration. I am still proposing that radioactive gas such as T can be aged inside a Casimir cavity despite the 'Reifenschweiler effect which delays the tritium radiation by about 25-30% when loaded into titanium powder of Casimir geometry. I am proposing that the titanium powder in the Reifenschweiler effect is of a geometry that disfavors access to the cavity by the tritium and instead favors confinement outside the cavity walls. As I describe below the relativistic interpretation of Casimir effect first accumulates a reservoir of opposition to time similar to a gravity well which is distributed over the entire plate area outside the cavity. This opposition is small compared to the focused acceleration that occurs when the tiny opening of the cavity tries to drain this reservoir. If the hole is small enough the Casimir effect is established because the plates are accumulating more pressure than the mouth of the cavity can drain away. The 25-30% mentioned in the Reifenschweiler effect strikes me as more in keeping with a lesser deceleration rate distributed across the exterior of these Casimir plates. The claims for accelerated radioactive decay are magnitudes larger in keeping with a venturi like concentration of this reservoir dumping through a tiny aperture. Regards. Fran
