It sounds to me like the Navy has picked-up on Puthoff’s design discussed here on Vortex-l for some years back and elsewhere.
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/28729/docs-show-navy-got-ufo-patent-granted-by-warning-of-similar-o-tech-advances A quote from the above link of “THE WARZONE” item follows: “ Interestingly enough, both Pais’ research and some of his patents also contain acknowledgments to the work of Dr. Harold E. Puthoff, co-founder and Vice President of Science and Technology of To the Stars Academy<https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/28377/tom-delonges-origin-story-for-to-the-stars-academy-describes-a-government-info-operation>. Puthoff is an electrical engineer and inventor who has published research on polarized vacuums, but has also been extensively involved with paranormal and somewhat pseudoscientific topics<https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/26056/heres-the-list-of-studies-the-militarys-secretive-ufo-program-funded-some-were-junk> such as remote viewing<http://www.remoteviewed.com/hal-puthoff/>.” What the item does not discuss is the energy power system needed to run the system to produced a polarized vacuum. A LENR plasma reactor seems ideal. My other comments on this Vortex-l thread today are relevant to possible energy production reactors.

Long time no chat… busy working on Navy radar. It’s been a few years, but I check in every now and then to see if any real progress has been made with LENR or… you know who! ;-) Not much has changed… RE: Superconductivity… https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/29232/navys-advanced-aerospace-tech-boss-claims-key-ufo-patent-is-operable Just so happens that the scientist/engineer patenting some very unusual patents for the Navy works at PAX River… been there many times over the last 3 years. I’ll have to look him up next time I’m there… perhaps soon. The guy’s boss, Dr. Sheehy, also at PAX, had to write to the patent office after the patents were rejected… of course, since some claims were ‘not theoretically possible’. In the letter, Dr. Sheehy states that the technology is ‘enabled AND operable’.

Oxide films are expected on nickel electrodes and this could set the stage for unexpected electromagnetic effects such as the "densification" effect on gaseous hydrogen, which precedes LENR. Here is the new citation for the discovery of (global) superconductivity in NiO https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/PT.3.4337 Superconductivity - of a local variety as opposed to global - has been long suspected to be involved in LENR in some mysterious way. This suspicion goes back to the discovery of global superconductivity in palladium hydride (at very low temp) and the possibility that paired electrons could shield Coulomb repulsion, or some related M.O. which promotes LENR. This could happen via the densification of hydrogen as described by many researchers, notably Mills and Holmlid. A related effect to local SC is "transient" SC. Local superconductivity would occur in nanoparticles at much higher temperature, where spin currents or excitons predominate. There is also a potential connection between antiferromagnetism and local superconductivity which would indicate that strong antiferromagnetism is actually an expected end result of local superconductivity. The further connection of all of this to LENR would be that nanoparticles of materials which are SC at low temps will - at high temps - show both local superconductivity and strong antiferromagnetism which then operates to densify hydrogen gas as it accumulates on its surface. Here is the older report on using spin current to flip iron-based superconductors between superconducting and non-superconducting states. https://phys.org/news/2017-12-scientists-superconductivity-currents.html It is not difficult to imagine an overlap between a spin current mechanism and strong antiferromagnetism - but I have not been able to find an authoritative paper which makes that claim.
