Jed, I agree that these effects are all related for the same reasons you state and that Arata supplies the most compelling evidence. Your argument regarding this being fushion or chemical and your reply to Mike Carrel "50 kW for how long? How much energy? From what mass of fuel?" implies you are not considering ashless chemistry where changes in Casimir geometry could disassociate the diatoms and reverse the natural reaction to from diatoms. This would be a "fueless" source of energy based on scale and geometry that could explain the reaction of atomic hydrogen in a skeletal catalyst and provide the thermal runaway and acceleration of gas atoms into the surrounding lattice. This won't make me popular since it suggests the limited fusion artifacts are are only a side effect driven by this oscillation between h1 and h2 but it does a better job of solving for the common denominator. even sonoluminescence could be explained as this same oscillation where the menisci act as the moving plates being driven by acoustic energy. I am not trying to separate the lattice from the cavity because they need each other like the hole needs a sail to accumulate wind pressure to make a whistle.

When the BLP animation shows a 3 body collision I don't think it actually needs to happen - the geometry of the pore creates a concentrated field allowing the atoms in the plates to react remotely with the gas atoms allowing the transitions to occur solely based on geometry and whether or not the gas atoms are atomic or diatomic.
