Hi Fran,
Raney Nickel would indeed appear to be perfect territory for Casimir
effects to be taking place. But I'd need some therapeutic maths
counselling to comment sensibly on any relativistic effects.

Also skeletal catalysts like Rayney nickel are an inverse form of Casimir geometry with
pit sizes in the same sweet spot for strong suppression of virtual particles as casimir
plates. This was the first clue that lured me in to believing these claims regarding
powders and skeletal cats like those used by Mills are all related to the same underlying
environment...supression of longer vacuum wavelengths. All the claims regarding modified
half lives and relativistic energies leads me to believe the "suppression" is
actually relativistic and that the longer vacuum wavelengths remain unchanged to a local
observer in the pit of a skeletal cat or cavities formed between powders grains or cracks
in lattice of Casimir geometry.

Subject: EXTERNAL: Re: [Vo]:Nickel Aluminum (NiAl)
Hi Jack,
I had the same idea a couple of years ago. It gets even more interesting
when you realize that the NiAl + NaOH reaction produces Raney Nickel
(google it - it is a nano-porous material) which has very interesting
properties. The reaction effectively pre-loads the Raney Nickel
'metallic foam' with Hydrogen.
I wonder if anyone has looked for anomalous heat in this process. I
suspect not.

Since either potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide react with
aluminum to produce hydrogen, I wonder if NiAl wire in electrolysis
with KOH or NaOH might prove interesting. Any thoughts?
Perhaps even simpler would be adding this wire to a solution of KOH or
NaOH without electrolysis. I don't know if the hydrogen produced
would load into the lattice.
Best regards,
Jack
