Is anyone yet working on exposing Raney Nickel to Kr 85 gas to see if the decay rate appears to accelerate in these cavitiesm, as had been proposed some time back? To me, this sounds like a very straight-forward way to test the whole idea of wavelengths "upshifting to fit into the cavites!" Scott Wm. Scott Smilth

Among the many hypotheses which were suggested to explain thermal gain in MAHG, assuming there was gain (despite the measurement error, I think there was gain) – and one of the more compelling arguments centered around large cavity resonance (the volume inside of the RF tube) being stimulated by para<->ortho transitions, so as to resonate at high frequency. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_isomers_of_hydrogen The ratio between the ortho and para isomers of H2 is about 3:1 at STP but the para form dominates at low temperatures and the ortho at higher. There is a small energy gap, few hundredths of an eV, which can be “pumped” at a high transaction rate (few GHz). Problem is, this device was not a microwave tube, nor was it powered by RF. However it did have interior dimensions in the tens of cm range, which is consistent with microwave propagation, IF there was found to be a triggering source. From there on, we tried to invoke many things – like CMB, which in retrospect was way too much of a stretch. All of this was taking place before anyone had suggested “negative energy” inside a Casimir cavity – but that hypothesis is the perfect way to transition the para/ortho ratio from ~3:1 to 1:3 and back again, at few billion times per second. This would act as a pump for ZPE (arguably to explain excess heating, if there is any). Ø what happens when these bosonic molecules try to escape into the surrounding lattice which can normally only fit 1 atom per cell you may get your “cold” / ultra contained bosonic h2? Well, in the context of LENR, this is where something nuclear is poised to happen. It may not be fusion. AND – in my warped perspective of the situation, it may be a “book balancing” way to supply a nuclear-energy replenishment of local ZPE energy, already having been extracted via the microwave pump. ZPE extraction only works IMO when there is a facile way in which to ultimately replenish the local field – otherwise it is self-limiting. Two other notes: all of the above is easily falsifiable, and second – a method of hydrogen transport (thru-flow) as you suggest, would likely be highly beneficial for this device; but perhaps in another way than you are thinking.
