Imagine a hydrogen molecule in a 10 nm dia. Casimir cavity.
Inside the cavity, there are a few virtual photon frequencies which are
suppressed due to the geometry. That is standard physics. These are EUV
equivalent frequencies.
If the "lack of" this background energy, is itself active for spin-flipping,
which is an operative hypothesis for the Reiter-effect, can this mechanism
provide excess heat, in principle? That is not standard physics, since it
would amount to "less is more" and in effect, we are talking about a deficit
of "something" (in another dimension) having an energetic effect in 3-space.
Clearly, the answer for a few of us who believe in a nanometer or Casimir
connection to excess heat, is yes. The tiny bit of microwave energy in the
hydrogen line comes from the atomic transition between the two hyperfine
levels (spin orientation) of the hydrogen ground, with an energy difference
between the two orientations of 5.87 µeV.
This means that it takes slightly over one million "spin flips" or
spin-orientation reversals to amount to 6 eV, if there is asymmetry. But at
trigger conditions of 350C. the cavity oscillates in the terahertz range,
with the virtual photon energy at much higher, so a million reversals amount
to one-in-a-million IR oscillations. Which is another way of looking at it -
the interaction of real IR with virtual EUV.
This 6 eV is about 5 times the energy of combustion (1.25 eV) - if the
hydrogen were burned in air, but it is not burned.

This is a provocative paper - especially for those with
imagination and looking for anomalous energy in hydrides.
The 21 cm line could be of major causative interest here -
but that is out of the scope of this paper.
