I went looking for temporal anomalies related to casimir effect. This link, http://www.andersoninstitute.com/casimir-effect.html Fran, Don't know if you have already mentioned this paper, but it fills in another part of the Ni-H puzzle or thermal gain with no nuclear indicia. http://arxiv.org/abs/0706.1184 "The Role of Surface Plasmons in The Casimir Effect" by Intravaia et al 2007 "We evaluate analytically the contribution of the plasmonic modes to the Casimir energy. Surprisingly we find that this becomes repulsive for intermediate and large mirror separations." END Since micron-sized particles with nano-sized inclusions (such as the Ahern/Arata powder) combine large separation geometries with the surface features that promote plasmons, we have now apparently found the way that the Casimir force becomes involved. This is not at all suggestive of an effect which would enhance nuclear fusion, which would seem to require an attraction force. Instead it is suggestive of superradiance, where thermal coherence develops from group dynamics of particles moving together with more energy than is input into the system. When phonon and photons vibrational dynamics merge at a single frequency in the 8-20 THz range, they would become self reinforcing. This would be nearly lossless, but not gainful in itself. Gain would derive from outside the system in several possible ways: 1) ZPE as introduced by the Casimir force in a dynamical way 2) Electron angular momentum, due to ground state redundancy 3) A combination effect where 1) is responsible for 2). This coupling of phonons and photons is pretty close to the definition of the polariton. Now we know a more precise methodology in which Casimir force can also contribute in a dynamical way via surface plasmon interaction . and we know the precise thermal range where this happens. Jones
