Why hasn't anybody tested Kr 81 or 85 in activated Raney Nickel powder to see if the decay rate changes.----This is the simplest experiment; yet it is the most irrefutable as well as the most meaningful. If there are temporal effects, then this would be the best starting point for figuring out everything else in-terms-of. ScottWm.

I agree with Bernard’s Thought experiment but Nick seems to be hung up on just the Casimir force being exploitable – Nick is overlooking the importance of the gas atoms themselves. Garret Moddel published a paper ,Assessment of proposed electromagnetic quantum vacuum energy extraction methods, http://ecee.colorado.edu/ 7Emoddel/QEL/Papers/Moddel_VacExtracV1.pdf Which casts doubt on 2 of the 3 classes of propo sed methods to extract energy but finds the migration of monatomic gas inside aPermanent Casimir field, the 3rd class, a workable solution. I view these cavities as a tapestry of different energy densities confined together at the nano scale. You have Gas atoms inside these cavities constantly driven into random motion by HUP – these atoms translate to different quiescent energy densities established by the local Casimir geometry. The heat anomalies of Arata, Mills and other researchers indicate this is already enough to produce an effect even without the circulation proposed by Haisch and Moddel.The circulation was first proposed by William Lyne for an Atomic Furnace and probably would have helped if it ha d been adopted by Moller and Naudin in the MAHG device – Note H-M are proposing Casimir Lamb Pinch while Lyne and Moller an oscillation between bond states of gas atoms with change in energy density which are wholly different scales but both exploit the change in Casimir geometry relative to the random motion of gas atoms. I think that even if the Casimir Lamb Pinch fails to achieve the efficiency to exploit the process their prototype is still better conceived to exploit the method suggested by Lyne and Moller – The gas is circulated between Casimir and Non Casimir cells forcing a maximum translation/space, spreads out the reaction to avoid melt down and the need to regenerate like the Rayney Nickel of Rowan Confirmation fame – It also allows for better reactant controls to mix with inert gas, vary circulation speed and greater surface area to couple the heat away. > On Mar 3, 2010, at 4:15 PM, JACK SARFATTI wrote: > > So, Nick where > specifically do you disagree with Bernie's remark > > below?
