Note that several noble gasses (He, Ar, Ne, perhaps Xe) also act as Mills catalysts. >"The Mystery and Legacy of Joseph Papp's Noble Gas Engine" by Eugene F. >Mallove > >http://www.infinite-energy.com/iemagazine/issue51/papp.html is a similar ZPE >reaction to the one I am proposing .

My premise being >that any molecular gas opposes the translation to different vacuum energy >densities while atomic gas translates freely creating an asymmetrical path. >This concept would go unnoticed and unexploited on the macro scale since >such changes only occur on a large scale as the result of a gravitational >gradient where energy density increases as you travel deeper into a gravity >well. At the nano scale however you have a break in this isotropy due to >suppression induced by Casimir geometry.
