This may be another explanation of the Hydrinos of Blacklight Power.

From the web site of "NEXT BIG FUTURE"
"Jovion Corporation of Boulder aims to develop and commercialize a device
for extracting energy from the reservoir of "zero point energy" that has
been shown to fill all of space. The Jovion device would employ numerous
Casimir cavities, consisting of closely spaced metal plates within which a
range of electromagnetic modes are excluded due to quantization of the
electromagnetic field. The harvested energy would be in the form of
electromagnetic radiation and could in principle be converted directly into
electrical power through the incorporation of solar cells. The POCi funding
covers the design, construction and testing of a practical and scalable
energy harvesting system. The funding is contingent on the satisfactory
achievement of certain scientific proof of principle milestones relating to
a prototype Casimir cavity device as described in a current research grant
to Dr. Garret Moddel, Professor in CU-Boulder's Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering and an inventor of the technology.
The patent is based primarily on papers published in the journal Physical
Review by Hal Puthoff in 1987 and Timothy Boyer in 1975.
Bernard Haisch, who is a co-inventor, is quick to point out that this is all
purely speculative at this point and that they have not yet been able to
prove anything in the laboratory. The sporadic signals they have seen can't
be ruled out as experimental error. That said, the model is still "well
worth pursuing".
It is a "high risk / high gain" venture, he said, wanting to avoid the
common mistake of overselling and under-delivering.
They are presently (as of Feb. 4, 2009) looking for major funding of around
$10 million to carry out more sophisticated testing."

"Jovion Corp is trying to extract energy from the reservoir of "zero point
energy" using Casimir cavities. One proposed device would generate up to
21.5 kilowatts of heat from sugar cube sized device. The heat would need to
be captured and converted to electricity. Micro-gap thermal photovoltaics
could match up well for this application to convert 50% or more of the heat
to electricity. NOTE: This is a funded company that is a technology spin-off
of research from the University of Colorado.
Jovion plans to use MEMS devices or polymer sheets to form the small Casimir
cavities.
Francis Roarty [Unknown Qualifications/Background] Interpretation
Francis Roarty believes and writes that the Jovion work is closely related
to Blacklight Powers Hydrinos. Francis also wrote up his description at the
science blog.
--- Francis seems to at least have read the work of Blacklight Power and the
University of Colorado researcher at Jovion closely. They are both talking
about reducing electron orbits using previously unknown means. The reasons
being given about how these changes are occurring are very different. The
University of Colorado reasoning is based on quantum mechanics while
Blacklight Power applies a variation on classical mechanics. ---
The physical result of energy production can end up being the same even if
only one of the explanations is right. The experiments could work even if
both explanations are substantially wrong or incomplete.
By suppressing electromagnetic quantum vacuum energy at appropriate
frequencies a change may be effected in the electron energy levels which
will result in the emission or release of energy. Mode suppression of
electromagnetic quantum vacuum radiation is known to take place in Casimir
cavities. A Casimir cavity refers to any region in which electromagnetic
modes are suppressed or restricted. When atoms enter into suitable micro
Casimir cavities a decrease in the orbital energies of electrons in atoms
will thus occur. Such energy will be captured in the claimed devices. Upon
emergence form such micro Casimir cavities the atoms will be re-energized by
the ambient electromagnetic quantum vacuum. In this way energy is extracted
locally and replenished globally from and by the electromagnetic quantum
vacuum. This process may be repeated an unlimited number of times. This
process is also consistent with the conservation of energy in that all
usable energy does come at the expense of the energy content of the
electromagnetic quantum vacuum. Similar effects may be produced by acting
upon molecular bonds.
Devices are described in which gas is recycled through a multiplicity of
Casimir cavities. The disclosed devices are scalable in size and energy
output for applications ranging from replacements for small batteries to
power plant sized generators of electricity"
