Jones, I have been struggling with a new "Casimir" blog started below that is similarly unwieldy. I agree with your assessment that nature has already tapped Casimir geometry in biological structures. DRAFT below -unfinished-
I haven't commented much of late on all the developments regarding over unity devices like the Rossi e-cat or competing device announced by former colleague Panatelli. Several new companies have been formed to bring these devices to market with a Greek 1 MW prototype plant scheduled to demonstrate the e-cat in October 2011. It is mainstream news in Italy and Greece but the US and European media are so far reluctant to report on these developments fearing the same sort of controversial theories and endless delays that have plagued US rival Black Light Power for over a decade. I am cautiously optimistic that the procedure to repeatedly produce large energies from Ni-H has finally been corralled after decades of difficulty in reproducing the effect reliably or in exploitable volume. I belong to a growing minority of enthusiasts that believe the underlying initializing energy source of these different devices is based on zero point energy. We don't deny claims that low energy nuclear reactions and resulting transmutations are occurring but our argument is that these reactions would never evolve between Ni and hydrogen if the Ni powder grains or the leached cavities of skeletal catalysts did not happen to form Casimir geometries. In fact it suggests a strong link between catalytic action and Casimir effect. Casimir cavities inside a metal lattice or formed between grains of Ni powder suppress vacuum energy wavelengths. A proposal from professor Jan Naudts to Randell Mills in 2005 suggesting Black Light Power's "hydrino" is actually "relativistic" hydrogen convinced me that our present interpretation of Casimir effect is wrong! The longer vacuum energy wavelengths are not displaced in favor of shorter wavelengths that can fit between the boundaries [plates] -Instead the same longer wavelengths bend space time between the plates such that a tiny observer between the plates would still see the same wavelengths unchanged but the plates would appear to shrink away from his perspective making room for the wavelengths while from our perspective outside the plates it appears the wavelengths inside are growing shorter. This is the reason Naudts was able to suggest the hydrino is relativistic hydrogen - not because the hydrogen has a spatial velocity approaching C but because of an "equivalent" acceleration, or to be more accurate an "equivalent negative acceleration". Unlike gravitational gradients which increase slowly at the square of the distance between a small object and a large mass the differential caused by Casimir geometry is inverted and very abrupt having little or no gradient. From the "hydrino" perspective inside a cavity it is just a normal hydrogen atom at the top of a deep gravity well extending down to the inside surfaces of the Casimir plates. This means the observer outside the cavity is equivalent to the spatially accelerated Paradox twin [remembering the equivalence principle for gravity and acceleration] while the hydrino atom inside the cavity is equivalent to the earth bound twin who sees time slowing to a crawl for his accelerated twin while he continues to age at what he perceives as the "normal" rate inside the cavity. Inversely we outside the cavity perceive the hydrino as aging rapidly having far more reactions per "our" unit of time than would seem possible except perhaps through a remarkable level of catalytic action. Note it is actually the change in Casimir geometry that I posit causes catalytic action. Recent studies at Cornell university discovered that catalytic action only occurs at opening and defects in the uniform dimensions of a nanotube. This suggests that perfectly parallel Casimir plates would have little catalytic action except at the edges and the best skeletal catalysts would be those having rapidly changing Casimir geometries. In discussing the above with a friend the topic of how Lorentzian contraction would be modified for equivalent acceleration ensued. We are still manipulating the Pythagorean relationship between the time axis and the spatial axis as seen in the gamma formula but instead of modifying velocity on the space axis we are modifying the time axis when we force these wavelengths to fit between Casimir plates. The ratio of V^2/C^2 is changed through time dilation instead of velocity so the "contraction" is symmetrical away from the spatial plane onto the time axis which is to say an object would appear to shrink equally in all spatial dimensions instead of only along the vector approaching C as in normal Lorentzian contraction. Of course all this remains hidden for now insulated inside the cavity at the nano scale but the ability of these modified wavelengths To interact with gas atoms and create these so called hydrinos or fractional hydrogen hints at even more than just free energy. My point is that Casimir geometry in Nickel is creating changes in energy density that appear to interact with hydrogen in an ash less manner to produce heat - therefore the reverse must be possible to move these nickel grains and hydrogen atoms spatially relative to the ether to produce thrust without reaction mass. Such a drive system would seek to exploit the hypothetical "frictional coefficient" between gas molecules and changes in energy density we believe responsible for the long standing claims of excess heat and current efforts to commercialize said heat. Such an engine may even have the implicit ability to slow or accelerate time and pull a ship along with it. Recent news of creating "real" photons from virtual particle pairs by moving a conductor back at forth at near luminal speeds [actually using squids to rapidly move the area biased conductive] begs the question if the time dilation we perceive from outside a Casimir cavity can be exploited to produce real photons from these "equivalently" accelerated gas ions inside the cavity.

From that point on - the connection of this hidden kind of mass-energy to ZPE is merely one of adjusting the semantics. http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2011/08/could-mirror-matter-be-the-hidden-mass-that-holds-the-universe-together.html The second item relates to biological evidence of "magic size" which of course in the Casimir range: http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/News/2010/December/21121001.asp Bio-antennas. Quote: "In related work, Greg Scholes led a team based in Toronto and Sydney that investigated antenna proteins. These proteins absorb light and transmit the resultant excitation energy between molecules to a reaction centre where photosynthesis takes place. The team showed compelling evidence that the 5nm wide proteins share their electronic excitation in a quantum-coherent manner. The proteins exhibit this 'coherent wiring' even under biologically relevant conditions, suggesting that distant molecules within the photosynthetic proteins are 'wired' together for more efficient light-harvesting." Now for a formative explanation. The immediate response to the general idea is that anomalous energy can appear using "only geometry", is that Nature will have been using it for millions (billions) of years. The field of "biological nano-geometry", particularly as it relates to light emission (chromophores) has been well known for decades, but ignored by physics for the most part. I've mentioned the main guy in nano biology to you before - the German scientist Theodor Förster. The mechanism is called FRET "Förster resonance energy transfer" and the critical dimensions of 2-10 nm care called the Förster radius. It is no coincidence that this overlaps the Casimir geometry and that there is (subdued) evidence of gain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%B6rster_resonance_energy_transfer Nanoparticles offer a very high potential to store energy in the form of Surface Tension. This has been called Surface Tension Energy (STE) or enhance vibrational modes. There is a decent chance that this form of energy can be recouped (i.e. renormalized, regauged etc) via the zero point field. This third paper of interest does not go that far, but it does introduce the basics of STE: "Characterization and Release of Surface Energy in Nanoparticles" Aktsipetrova et al. Brookhaven Technology Group and Moscow State University. Since a lot of this FRET background is already in the Vortex archives, let me move on to the main point of this post. Is there a potential technique that experimenters can use, based on FRET, to look for resonant materials which could be active for ZPE coherence? The answer seems to be yes, and the hint is "indigo" as in "infinite indigo" (light input in the range of 440 nm); but the details will be addressed in another posting, as this one is getting unwieldy.
